Interview Rafael Hernández- CEPSA

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. A significant portion of the conversation highlights the Spanish cybersecurity community, specifically the ISMS Forum, which is characterized by a unique lack of competitiveness and a commitment to honest collaboration against a professionalized cybercrime industry that views data as its primary business. As he begins a new professional chapter, Hernández advises new generations to focus on security culture and the human factor, urging them to be patient and to integrate partners and manufacturers as essential components of the security ecosystem.
