Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Cybersecurity: Discussion

Mr. Pat Larkin:

In general terms, it would not be the business model. The business model might be to try to take heat off the operation in the sense of its being seen to have goodwill, although its model is still monetised. They still have to deliver on what they say they are doing. The threat still has to stand in general terms for the business model to work. The threat of the data being inaccessible or of leaking needs to exist. For the business model to be credible, they have got to deliver on their threat; otherwise, it is a false threat.
