Orange Cyberdefense is deploying its operations in Spain through a strategic partnership with MasOrange, the country’s leading operator by number of customers, serving over 32 million users, and nearly 47 million lines. The company operates with 8 main national brands (Orange, Yoigo, Jazztel, MASMOVIL, simyo, Pepephone, Lebara, and Lyca) and 5 regional brands (Euskaltel, R, Telecable, Guuk, and Embou), to cover all customer needs across Spain.
• This move marks Orange Cyberdefense’s entry into one of Europe’s most significant cybersecurity markets, driven by a clear ambition: to become the trusted cybersecurity partner for Spanish public and private organisations.
• The deployment aligns with Orange’s “Trust the future” strategy, supporting Orange Cyberdefense in its ambition to reach €2 billion in revenue by 2030.
As a European leader in cybersecurity services, Orange Cyberdefense will bring its unique expertise to the Spanish market, with over 3,300 experts, 36 detection centers across 23 countries, and Europe’s first private CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team).
Bases in Barcelona and Madrid
To stay as close as possible to the cybersecurity needs of companies across Spain, Orange Cyberdefense teams will initially be based in Madrid and Barcelona, supported by a dedicated local Security Center (CyberSOC) to provide continuous human-led monitoring and rapid incident response.
Initially 100 experts will be recruited to support this development. Orange Cyberdefense will offer innovative and tailored solutions adapted to the size and budget requirements of each company, while also drawing on MasOrange’s extensive commercial network to address critical issues.
According to a study by Statista (conducted in November 2025, commissioned by Orange Cyberdefense), Spain has been one of the most targeted countries in Europe in recent years, with 54% of companies having experienced a cyberattack. The Spanish cybersecurity market was estimated to be €2.3 billion in 2025, growing at 10%, with a highly demanding public sector that could generate more than €400 million in cybersecurity tenders over the coming years.
Hugues Foulon, EVP and CEO of Orange Cyberdefense, comments:
“In the context of ongoing digital warfare, cybersecurity must be at the heart of every strategy. Cybersecurity is no longer just a necessary expense, but a pillar that transforms organizations and strengthens our economic resilience. As threats continue to intensify, Spanish companies need the support of a trusted partner — a market leader recognized for its 10 years of experience.”
Meinrad Spenger, CEO of MasOrange, explains:
“Cybersecurity has become a top priority for our clients, including businesses, public sector organizations, and individuals. Thanks to MasOrange’s modern and advanced fiber and 5G connectivity infrastructure, combined with the expertise of a European leader like Orange Cyberdefense, we will create a unique market offering, establishing Orange Cyberdefense Spain as a benchmark in digital protection for customers across Spain.”
