New national cyber security strategy due soon as funding rises

The Government’s much-awaited second national cyber security strategy is due to be published in the coming weeks. The document, replacing the first such strategy in 2015, is expected to be a much “broader and more comprehensive” document and followed a public consultation process.

In a statement, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and the Environment said a focus of the new strategy would be on ensuring that the country’s competitive advantage in the digital economy would be “further developed and defended”.
