General Scheme of the National Cyber Security Bill 2024: Cyber Ireland

Mr. Brian Honan:

I am from the west so I am very familiar with the clouds. There are concerns at EU level and member state level as to how secure our stored data is in these organisations outside of the EU. Many of those organisations based in countries outside the EU look at our regulations as being anti-competitive and as trying to create a barrier for them to sell into the EU. We have the yin and yang of regulation to ensure appropriate and good cybersecurity and the protection of citizens' rights versus firms trying to make money.
