InprOTech is the Galician company responsible for executing the contract for the supply, deployment and operation of services of the Xunta de Galicia’s Industrial Cybersecurity Laboratory and Demonstration Center, focused on the key sectors of the Galician productive ecosystem.
VIGO, 5 March 2026. InprOTech has been awarded by the Xunta de Galicia, through AMTEGA, the contract for the supply, deployment and provision of services of the Industrial Cybersecurity Laboratory and Demonstration Center of Galicia, a strategic infrastructure that is part of a joint initiative of the Xunta de Galicia composed of two complementary laboratories and demonstration centers in the field of cybersecurity.
This initiative is part of the RETECH – Territorial Networks for Technological Specialization project and is developed in collaboration with the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), an entity under the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Administration, through the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, thus consolidating a coordinated commitment by the Xunta de Galicia to strengthening regional cybersecurity capabilities.
The new laboratory will represent a qualitative leap in industrial cybersecurity with the creation of one of the most advanced infrastructures in Southern Europe, strengthening Galicia’s capabilities in this field and acting in a complementary way to the second laboratory promoted by the Xunta de Galicia within the same RETECH program. Together, both laboratories will form an integrated ecosystem that will provide companies, public administrations and technology stakeholders with an advanced environment for experimentation, training, validation and demonstration of solutions aimed at protecting production environments and industrial control systems (OT/ICS).
Furthermore, the center will contribute to increasing the international competitiveness of Galician industry by offering a space where solutions can be validated before reaching the market, fostering the attraction of specialized talent and strengthening Galicia’s positioning as a benchmark in industrial cybersecurity within the framework of the complementary laboratories of the Xunta de Galicia.
These initiatives will be carried out within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan funds, financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, through INCIBE.
A real testing environment for Industry 4.0
InprOTech’s proposal stood out for its high level of technical specialization and for the creation of a real testing environment that will allow Galicia to position itself at the forefront of cybersecurity laboratories oriented to Industry 4.0, in coordination with the rest of the complementary infrastructures promoted by the Xunta de Galicia within the RETECH program.
The new center is a real critical infrastructure designed to faithfully reproduce industrial scenarios of high strategic value for the Autonomous Community, reinforcing the demonstrative and experimental nature of this network of complementary laboratories of the Xunta de Galicia.
Seven industrial mock-ups
Physical scenarios will be deployed that replicate different strategic industrial sectors of the Galician economy, integrating mock-ups of the water cycle, energy generation and distribution, food industry, manufacturing for the automotive sector and the naval industry.
These mock-ups will allow real processes to be simulated and the impact of cyber incidents to be analyzed in controlled environments. Among the exercises that can be carried out, explained in a way understandable to any audience, are:
- Simulation of attacks that could halt production lines.
- Evaluation of incident impact on control systems.
- Practical training for operational failures or process interruptions.
Hybrid capabilities: physical + virtual
The laboratory will combine physical environments with multi-user simulation platforms and remote capabilities for external teams, enabling unique flexibility.
This will facilitate risk assessment, professional training and the execution of advanced tests without affecting real production environments, reinforcing complementarity with the rest of the demonstration centers of the Xunta de Galicia integrated in RETECH.
Cutting-edge technologies
The center will integrate leading market solutions for:
- OT traffic monitoring,
- asset and anomaly detection,
- industrial firewalls,
- auditing and vulnerability analysis,
- event correlation,
- and advanced incident response tools.
High-value services for Galician industry
Beyond the design and deployment of the laboratory, InprOTech will also assume its operation, offering services aimed at promoting resilience, maturity and capability development within Galician industry.
The operation of the laboratory will generate a continuous flow of knowledge, train new OT specialists and support companies in their cybersecurity evolution, contributing in a coordinated way to the global objectives of the network of complementary laboratories of the Xunta de Galicia developed in collaboration with INCIBE.
InprOTech: experience, specialization and commitment
InprOTech will contribute to the project with a qualified technical team experienced in OT/ICS technologies, promoting a collaborative approach in a Galician project designed to respond to the needs of Galicia’s industry. The initiative combines high value-added cybersecurity capabilities with the reality of the Galician industrial ecosystem, with the aim of promoting a progressive and sustainable improvement in industrial cybersecurity, supporting sectors with different levels of maturity and contributing to the development and training of specialized talent within the region.
“The award of this project represents an important step for InprOTech and reinforces our work in the field of industrial cybersecurity and OT systems. Our experience allows us to approach this project with responsibility and a vision focused on delivering real value to the Galician ecosystem,” says the company’s CEO and founder, Iago Fortes Caramés. “At InprOTech we are already working to live up to the commitment acquired and to contribute, through our expertise, to strengthening sovereign industrial and technological capabilities from Galicia to the world.”
