ANDALUCIA is set to roll out a free ‘cyber shield’ app in 2026 to stop children falling victim to porn, gambling and online fraud. The announcement came from Junta supremo Antonio Sanz, who revealed the region was being hammered by more than 1,000 cyber attacks a month – all of them blocked at the Malaga-based Cybersecurity Centre. “It will be a free cyber shield parents can install, with smart filters to block inappropriate pages,” he explained. The Malaga centre will soon extend its protection beyond regional government to town halls, ports, universities and even private firms. “We don’t just want to get on the train – we want to be the locomotive driving transformation in Spain,” said Sanz.
