With a solid team strategy and effective collaboration, our colleagues achieved <strong>a commendable eighth place in the final ranking of participants from Iberia (Spain and Portugal)<\/strong>. <\/p><p><strong>This result reflects the team\u2019s expertise and dedication in detecting and mitigating security incidents<\/strong>. Participating in this event was a valuable opportunity for us to test ourselves, learn, and reinforce our focus on digital resilience. It reflects our commitment to innovation and excellence in cybersecurity. The CyberSOC team aims to stay at the forefront of protecting our clients\u2019 digital assets and ensuring business continuity in an increasingly complex digital landscape.   <\/p><p>Congratulations to our teammates\u2014and time to start thinking about the next edition to do even better!
