In this eye-opening episode of Innovative Spain, we sat down with Javier Jiménez, cybersecurity expert and CEO of GrayHats, to explore Spain’s evolving cyber threat landscape and why SMBs are the new prime targets. 🔍 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ From Rockstar to Cyber Defender: Javier shared his unconventional journey from sound engineer (even recording platinum-selling artists!) to cybersecurity entrepreneur — proving it’s never too late to pivot. 2️⃣ Spain’s Cyber Hotspot Status: Critical infrastructure (energy, agriculture) makes Spain a target for state-sponsored attacks. Public sector defenses are strong, but 98% of SMBs remain unprotected - despite facing €35K average attack costs. 3️⃣ Why Cybercrime Pays: Phishing/SMS scams (like fake DGT fines) exploit cheap, automated tactics. Recent 16 billion password leak? Mostly stolen via malware on individual devices — not corporate breaches. 4️⃣ Grey Hats’ Mission: Tailored cybersecurity for SMBs (rare in a market dominated by enterprise solutions). Their platform bundles endpoint, email, and web protection with managed services. 5️⃣ Urgent Advice for Everyone: Enable MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) everywhere. Change passwords quarterly and avoid “Remember Me” browser options. Treat cybersecurity like insurance — before an attack happens. 💡 Javier’s Warning: “We’re in a pre-war cyber landscape. States and criminals are funding operations through attacks — no one is ‘too small’ to target.”
