This was confirmed today by the Minister of the Presidency and Interior, Antonio Sanz, a new commitment to the city of Malaga that has become the Andalusian Silicon Valley, not only because of the employment that the technology sector generates (with large companies based on Malaga soil , such as Google) but also by the spaces dedicated to new technologies.

The draft of the LADI draft, which will be published shortly, includes the objective of the new agency to provide trust and protection to citizens, private companies and public institutions in the Andalusian digital ecosystem.
The counselor showed Schinas the CIAN, where the headquarters of the Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC) of the Government of Andalusia and the ARGOS Project are located, an initiative coordinated by the National Cybersecurity Institute.
