Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion
Dr. Michael Scott:
We need to invest. It is not going to come cheap. The kind of expertise required is expensive and there is a great deal of competition for it, both in the private sector and from other states. It will require a significant level of investment. In Ireland, we have not made that investment. We have shied away from it and done the minimum necessary to get the EU to stop annoying us about it, but we have to step up to the plate and that will cost big bucks.
