About this episode

Rafael Hernández discusses the evolution of cybersecurity and its importance as a strategic pillar in organizations.

In this interview, Rafael Hernández reflects on his 36-year career at Cepsa (now Moeve), detailing how cybersecurity has evolved from a purely technical industrial focus (OT) into a strategic pillar built on the balance of people, processes, and technology. He identifies digital identity as one of the greatest modern risks and notes the difficulty of convincing boards of directors to invest in prevention rather than just reacting to incidents. Hernández emphasizes that cybersecurity should be treated as a science rather than a creative "art," requiring rigorous standards similar to those found in industrial operations.
