UK cyber chief eyes ‘enhanced’ Irish partnership

‘We are trying to work out co-operation at all ends at a state level, the most serious threats to the state’

Britain’s top cybersecurity chief has said meetings with Irish agencies this week, along with planned meetings next year, are aimed at developing an “enhanced cybersecurity partnership” between the two countries.

Ciaran Martin, from Tyrone, is chief executive of Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre, set up in 2016 as part of the signals intelligence agency GCHQ.
