Kent Walker, President of Global Affairs, Google & Alphabet
"We’re excited to open the Google Safety Engineering Center (GSEC) Málaga, a new cybersecurity hub on the Spanish coast that will advance the work we do to build a better, safer Internet. With each passing week, cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, costly and aggressive—undermining the trust needed to create a vibrant, inclusive society. GSEC Málaga aims to be part of the solution, a place where we can collaborate with European experts, academics, businesses, and governments on best practices, share research and knowledge, and raise the security bar for all."
This new hub, known as the Google Safety Engineering Center (GSEC), aims to advance the state of the art in cybersecurity and malware analysis. The center will serve as a collaborative space where Google can work with European experts, academics, businesses, and governments on best practices, share research and knowledge, and aim to raise the security bar for all.
A broad range of Google teams and experts will come together to develop and scale cutting-edge research and tools to combat increasingly sophisticated threats.
In addition to this, the center will feature a dedicated training space hosting personalized training workshops for various groups including government officials, businesses of all sizes, jobseekers, NGOs, and even local schools. As part of Google's commitment to increase the number of cybersecurity professionals across Europe, they have announced a $10 million pledge through Google.org to advance cybersecurity skills training and help local community organizations.
This new center in Málaga joins two existing Google Safety Engineering Centers in Dublin and Munich.
