Cyberattacks will keep increasing and the country’s military, along with State departments and private industry, must prepare to combat them through co-operation with national and international partners.

That was the message from a panel of experts who addressed the Consultative Forum on International Security Policy, including Irish Army Brigadier General Seán White, who is a director of cyberdefence for EU military staff in Brussels.
