We live immersed in a technological age from which it is impossible to escape and in one way or another we have heard of Cybersecurity, but anyone can ask: What the fuck is Cybersecurity?

The first, we should understand its meaning: Cybersecurity seeks to protect digital information in interconnected systems and is included within information security.

Information security encompasses the techniques to control a company's data and ensure that it does not leave its system. And it must respond to three qualities:

• Review, for the company to carry out its tasks without too many risks.
• Valuable, for the interest of your business data.
• Sensible, access to the system is only made by authorized persons.

Information security must analyze possible risks, do prevention work and seek solutions. And above all, protect company data by ensuring its confidentiality, availability and integrity.

conclusion, cybersecurity is based on digital information and IT processes (process, storage, transmission) and information security, that goes hand in hand with the previous one, but of greater scope, since it tries to protect the information from the risks that may affect it.

Charles Robert Darwin, was a prominent British scientist who postulated the foundations of the Theory of Evolution(ca.1859) introducing the novel concept of adaptation. He came to say that the evolution of living beings through natural selection and their ability to adapt to the hostile and changing environment, those who adapted grew stronger and survived.

One hundred and sixty years after that discovery , we are in a situation of economic uncertainty, social, health due to COVID-19 that has put the entire genus Homo sapiens sapiens in check worldwide and that if Darwin were alive we would be subjects of his research on the ability to adapt and its consequences.

The truth is that these lines are nothing more than a reflection on what we could make clear about this new normal or new situation that we humans try to adapt within our possibilities with less or greater success.

As Darwin pointed out, the variations that favor the survival of an individual in competition with others despite environmental stress, tends to increase its conservation.

So we have no choice but to overcome this extraordinary situation, come out stronger and that our lives and that of our fellow men and our businesses do not get left behind, ADAPT, have COMMON SENSE and want to get out of this.

Cheer up everyone in this new stage!

Spain It may be the second country in the European Union to establish the mandatory nature of digital invoicing between companies from next year.

Until now, the country that has led this measure is Italy, after obtaining EU approval in the past 21 of April. This will allow the transalpine country to require this system for all domestic bills, both inB2B, like inB2C andB2G (business to business invoices, from business to consumer and from business to Public Administrations).

The Ministry of Finance is already deploying the platformFACeB2B and the public procurement law 9/2017, that "marks the starting point for the use of this platform".

In this sense, it is remembered that from the past 30 June, it is now mandatory for public procurement subcontractors and main contractors to exchange electronic invoices through FACeB2B if they exceed the5.000 euros of amount.

As of January2019, all remaining B2B invoices must be issued through the government center, which corresponds to the so-called Exchange System (SDI), launched in 2017 as an optional measure for private companies.

For the moment, the Commission of theEU to implement the B2B mandate has not received derogation, so it seems "impossible" to estimate when it could come into force, according to this company, which however adds that last year it incorporated the declaration in real time (SII) and it is only "a matter of time" before a political decision is made in this regard..
