Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

A Common Vision for Cybersecurity: Discussion

Mr. Stefan Umit Uygur:

As we can see, all opinions can be concentrated and boiled down to the model and where to start. There is no single opinion on where to start in industry, academia or the public. Israel has been mentioned. Mr. Larkin touched on which are the best countries. Israel invests in its local start-ups and scale-ups. Start-up and scale-ups are where we can start with awareness and innovation. Awareness and innovation go together and I will give an example. In 2010 nobody knew what a smartphone was. Two years later, in 2012, everyone in the world was able to use such a phone. This is the model we need to follow. We need to begin by investing in-house.
