Almost €660m needed to bring HSE cyber security up to standard

The Comptroller and Auditor General said the full cost of the HSE cyberattack in 2021 has still not been quantified.

Almost €660m will need to be spent over seven years to bring HSE’s cyber security up to standard, according to the State’s auditor.

That’s on top of €58m spent in 2021 to deal with a cyberattack on HSE systems and a further €38m allocated to 2022 to beef up its cyber capabilities.
