Military ‘can help stop cyber attacks’

Senior members of the Defence Forces say they have the capability to lead the way in protecting this country from cyber attack and industrial and commercial espionage.

The suggestion has been made to the Government in a submission from RACO (Representative Association for Commissioned Officers) as part of the upcoming Defence White Paper, which is likely to be published in the summer.

It will map out the role of the country’s military in the years ahead.
