General Scheme of the National Cyber Security Bill 2024: Cyber Ireland
1:30 pm
Mr. Brian Honan:
I will jump back to the previous question, if the Chair does not mind. The agencies will need to get the adequate resources. That may be a combination of using existing resources and skills within their own teams or may mean diverting those resources from their current jobs and then having to backfill those roles. It may mean having to outsource to third parties. One of the things we have been pushing for in Cyber Ireland and we have worked with the NSAI, is the creation of a cybersecurity standard called CI4. This would be a standard that companies could achieve that gives them a stamp and shows they have met the minimum requirements for the national cyber security Bill and NIS2. That could be a way to take the burden from each of those entities of having to audit every single one of these companies.
