Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Cybersecurity: Discussion
Mr. Padraic O'Reilly:
Yes. A very simple one that I discussed with Adam Sedgwick who was the head of the National Institution of Standards and Technology, NIST, at the time is just scoring how one is doing. The first guest referred to a metric. Maturity is a metric. Maturity usually has several stages. If one does something for the first time, that is called ad hoc. One can assign it a number, for example, 0.25. If it is a process that is documented, it could be 0.5. If the process is then reviewed and re-documented, that would be 0.75 and so on.
