Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
National Strategic Roadmap for the Digital Decade: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Jean Carberry:
We work closely with Enterprise Ireland. I cannot with 100% certainty say when it will be available but we are working on developing a support, in the first instance for Enterprise Ireland clients, that will provide grant funding for cybersecurity protection. That is one thing that is in the pipeline. The cloud is a safe place for data. Having as much data as possible in the cloud is one cybersecurity protection. Cloud first is the message from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer perspective and which enterprise agencies and LEOs are pushing to their companies. I cannot comment on the specifics relating to the Department of communications. The Department owns the National Cyber Security Centre, which has certainly been the subject of increased investment. Ms Bartley may also wish to comment.
