About Cyberlur
CyberLur (formerly the Cybersecurity Business Association) was established to bring together companies, associations, R&D centers, and public and private entities interested in promoting the cybersecurity sector and its related industries. The National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE) was its main promoter, driving the creation of an operational structure that would connect companies and institutions interested in developing a Business and Technology Hub in the field of digital security.
In 2016, the Group took a decisive step by promoting and integrating into the governing bodies of the European Cybersecurity Organisation (ECSO), consolidating its relevance in the international arena and reinforcing its role as a key player in the development of cybersecurity in Europe.
Recently, the association underwent a strategic renewal, marked by a significant change in its corporate identity, with the adoption of a new name (Cyberlur) and an updated image that reflects its modern vision and future prospects. This transformation, they report, “not only seeks to strengthen the brand, but also to align its image with its growth and leadership objectives in the cybersecurity sector.”.
Furthermore, CyberLur aims to develop a unique network of specialized regional nodes in Europe and create a more innovative offering. To achieve its objectives, it focuses on collaboration and specialization to strengthen the innovation ecosystem, improve the sector's competitiveness, and ensure that a cybersecurity culture is implemented across all sectors.
