Cyber alert for Irish companies over rising tension in Ukraine

The National Cyber Security Centre urged Irish companies with operations in both Ukraine and Russia to be vigilant and test their security systems.

Ireland’s cyber chiefs have issued an alert over cyber threats resulting from any escalation in military conflict in Ukraine.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said while the risk to Irish agencies and companies from a targeted “nation-state” attack in Ukraine was “low”, there was the potential of knock-on impacts.
