Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion

Mr. Padraic O'Reilly:

I cannot speak directly to all of that. I would say that Ireland is in an interesting position because it is advanced in the IT sense and it has a lot of infrastructure around tech companies. The practice of cyber in Ireland is very strong. What Ireland does not have is more of a centralised approach that gets some knowledge about the status of the critical infrastructure or central services there. Ireland does not really know what is going on and a lot of the operators are not held to task. Here, we have sectors that are under very strict regulation.
