A Common Vision for Cybersecurity: Discussion
Alan Dillon (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Chair and all our guests. It has been insightful so far and we appreciate their time. Following on from Senator Craughwell's questioning, are there examples out there of successful initiatives or programmes in other countries that have effectively improved cyber-education and cybertraining? How can Ireland learn from them to enhance its cybersecurity workforce? I would be interested in more information on the proposed cybersecurity campus, including its potential structure, services and the expected outcomes of such an initiative. From listening to our guests, we can only get so far on the educational journey, be it graduate or postgraduate, as it is about skills and experience gained in the field dealing with ransomware attacks and the like. I would like to get a better understanding around collaboration between industry, academia and Government to provide and strengthen cybersecurity training or educational programme in this area. Mr. Larkin might begin, if that is okay.
