The use of big data in critical sectors was the theme of the workshop hosted by ENISA and Telefonica hosted in Madrid on February 2nd 2016.
The invitation only event welcomed participants from the private sector, banks and cloud service providers.
Manuel Carpio, Telefonica’s Director of Information Security and Fraud Prevention, and ENISA’s Evangelos Ouzounis, Head of Secure Infrastructures and Services, gave the welcoming notes. Speakers included colleagues from Google and IBM, as well as representatives from Spain’s Data Protection Office.
