Cybersecurity has become a defining challenge for Ireland and Europe, with digital ecosystems underpinning our economic prosperity, democratic resilience, and the functioning of critical infrastructure. As energy systems, healthcare, financial services, and other systems become more digitally interconnected, the potential societal impacts of cyberattacks grow exponentially. In this panel discussion, organised in conjunction with Accenture, this event discusses the risks which Ireland and Europe face from a heightened risk environment, and how Europe can augment its resilience to a more complex cyber threat landscape.

The panel for this event include:

- Jacky Fox, Senior Managing Director, Global Lead for Security Strategy Practice, Accenture

- Richard Browne, Director of the National Cyber Security Centre

- Donal Óg McCarthy, Cybersecurity Lead, Ireland, Accenture

- Joyce Hakmeh, Associate Fellow, International Security Programme, Chatham House
