Recently, I had the opportunity to be part of the official launch of Cyber Ireland in Cork. Following the event, I was able to spend a few minutes with Dr. Eoin Byrne, Cyber Ireland’s cluster manager, along with a couple of the cluster’s board members — Jacky Fox, Cyber & IT Forensic Lead at Deloitte, and Pat Larkin, CEO at Ward Solutions.
During our conversation, we explore the role of cybersecurity in Ireland and Ireland’s role on the European and global cybersecurity stage. We’re at a critical point in time when it comes to cyber talent and cyber skills - and the Cyber Ireland cluster is gearing up to address this challenge head on with collaboration amongst industry, academia, and government.
Before we get into our chat with the board, we get to hear from David Stanton, TD — Minister of State at Department of Justice and Equality in Ireland, as he officially opens the launch.
Listen in and enjoy!
