Digital security

This area addresses all aspects related to cybersecurity and digital security. The emergence and evolution of telecommunications technologies in recent decades has meant that we live in a highly interconnected world.

Measures are required to protect their infrastructures, products and services, as well as people’s digital privacy.

It also includes training and awareness-raising in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in society.
