In 2011, the Agency for the Technological Modernization of Galicia (AMTEGA) was created to drive digitalization in the Spanish region. In 2020, AMTEGA partnered with Telefónica to raise awareness of cybersecurity and data protection among the citizens of Galicia and assist local government bodies in preventing cyberthreats and ensuring regulatory compliance. 

The main achievements of the PPP include:

• Developing and launching Galicia’s cybersecurity web portal, offering educational and informative content. 
• Collaborating with regional TV to produce short cybersecurity videos, one of which introduced a cybercriminal character whose name became Galicia’s 2023 Word of the Year.
• Organizing more than 600 live lectures, reaching 15,000plus people, including specialized sessions for seniors. 
• Building a strong social media presence, attracting 250,000-plus followers and accumulating 4.3 million-plus views.
• Hosting an annual Girls’ Talent in Cybersecurity event to encourage young women to explore careers in cybersecurity.
• Providing resources and advanced tools such as security information and event management (SIEM), automated penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, digital surveillance and consultancy services for data protection and information security.

The partnership optimizes public-fund investments by delivering tangible projects. Services are implemented swiftly, using specialized personnel and the support of a technology company to develop solutions tailored to the needs of the Galician population and local institutions.
