CyberMadrid- Clúster de Ciberseguridad de Madrid

What CyberMadrid- Clúster de Ciberseguridad de Madrid does

CyberMadrid (Clúster de Ciberseguridad de Madrid) is a non-profit association (Asociación sin ánimo de lucro) founded on July 22, 2020, formally launched in July 2021, and registered in the Registro Nacional de Asociaciones under CIF G02874873. It is the only cybersecurity cluster operating in the Madrid region and is promoted by the Madrid City Council (Ayuntamiento de Madrid), with collaboration from the Community of Madrid and INCIBE (Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad). The cluster was constituted by 10 founding entities representing the supply and demand sides of the cybersecurity ecosystem: Accenture, GMV, ISMS Forum, MAPFRE, RENIC, Sanitas, SingularBank, SIA (Indra), and Universidad Antonio de Nebrija. CyberMadrid operates as a coordination and collaboration platform, bringing together companies, associations, public institutions, and professionals to develop best practices in cybersecurity across four strategic axes: training and professional development, R&D+i, business development, and dissemination and awareness.

The cluster's offering centers on a portfolio of programs and events rather than proprietary technology products. Signature initiatives include Madrid Cyber Security Hub (annual SME-focused event), InverCyber (Investment Congress), Healthcare & Pharma Cybersecurity Congress, National Congress on Cybersecurity in Digital Fraud, CyberEmbajadoras (women in cybersecurity talent program), webinars, and research publications such as "Madrid Polo Europeo de la Ciberseguridad" and "Análisis de Talento en el Sector Ciberseguridad." The "Cybersecurity in a Box" digital toolkit provides SMEs with a self-assessment questionnaire, a 4-level maturity checklist, and a chatbot assistant for security diagnosis. A lean team of approximately 6 employees runs operations, and the cluster is governed by a Board of Directors and an Advisory Council that includes representatives from the City Council, Community of Madrid, and INCIBE. In December 2024, Agustín Muñoz-Grandes was elected President at an Extraordinary General Assembly, succeeding Damián Ruiz (CISO of Singular Bank).

Revenue is generated through annual membership fees paid by member companies and professionals, supplemented by event-related revenues from congresses, webinars, and training sessions. The cluster does not publicly disclose pricing, financials, or revenue figures. Distribution is regional (Madrid/Spain), with members receiving access to events, training, networking, and the cluster's resources. Marketing is conducted through LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, email newsletters, events, webinars, and content marketing. Partnerships span ENISA, Cloud Security Alliance, StopThinkConnect, Women4Cyber Spain, Cyber London, Funditec, The Bridge, and others, several of which carry strategic significance for talent development, European alignment, and cross-border ecosystem building.
