The Spanish cybersecurity team refines its skills this summer with the support of one of the most influential entities in the international technological field. Within the framework of Cybersecury Summer Bootcamp 2025, organized by INCIBE, future representatives of Spain in European competitions receive training that goes beyond the traditional curriculum: a practical immersion aimed at responding to real threats.
The program, promoted by the National Institute of Cybersecurity, under the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function, this year has had the active participation of Isaca, an international organization recognized for its leadership in training in emerging technologies. His contribution has focused on training the 20 applicants to be part of the national team, with a formative proposal that combines theory, practice and community.
Young talents have received training in Cybersecury fundament and in certification certified cybersecurity Operations Analyst (CCOA), developed by Isaca. Both credentials are designed to provide operational capacities participants directly applicable to the professional environment.
“The objective is that these young people can face incidents from the first day with solvency, detecting threats, managing alerts and analyzing real -time vulnerabilities,” explains Chris Dimitriadis, Chief Global Strategy Officer of Isaca. “This collaboration with Incibe allows us to open new ways of training and participate in relevant conversations for the future of cybersecurity.”
But the added value does not remain in the technical formation. The selected candidates also access a free annual membership in the Global Community of Isaca, which connects them with more than 180,000 professionals in 190 countries and opens the doors to opportunities for mentoring, professional development and international networking.
Bet on young and diverse talent
Participation in this bootcamp is not an isolated event. It is part of a broader strategy of Isaca in Europe to promote emerging talent in cybersecurity, especially among infrareprenected groups. Programs such as She @cyber, within the Erasmus+framework, seek to increase the female presence in this key sector for the digital future of the continent.
In addition, Isaca has recently closed alliances with regional institutions, such as the Cybersecurity Agency of the Community of Madrid, and has been promoting learning based on applied competences for years, with initiatives focused on students, recently titled and professionals in transition.
