Andrew Cushen helps uncover the weaknesses in technology systems which hackers might take advantage of

Ireland’s cyber security sector generated about €1.1bn in 2021, employing 7,500 professionals across 490 firms. Firms like Stryve help companies uncover the weaknesses in technology systems which hackers might take advantage of.

Almost one in five Irish firms experienced a cyber attack or data breach in 2022, according to a survey of senior business leaders of companies across the country. 

Cybercrime is now the fourth biggest business risk facing Irish organisations, underlined by a recent spike in ransomware attacks across the manufacturing, telecommunications and technology sectors.
