Talent features prominently in Repsol’s 2024–2026 cybersecurity strategy. The strategy recognizes that the risk of data breaches and deployment of new technologies, including AI, as well as the evolution of operational technology (OT) security, cannot be successfully managed without strengthening the cybersecurity team. To that end, Repsol aims to: 1. Gain support from the board to strengthen the team and achieve the defined strategy. 2. Enhance talent across key areas, including incident response, identity management, the operational technology security operations centre, network security and cloud security. 3. Draft hiring proposals with the necessary technical and soft skills while promoting diversity, especially female talent. 4. Retain hired talent with an interesting long-term value proposition focused on the physical and mental health of teams, including the possibility of fully remote working and monetary incentives.
