Ireland 'increasingly susceptible' to cyber attacks, espionage and attacks on critical infrastructure 

Ireland’s security environment is undergoing 'profound change', with events overseas having a 'major impact' on Ireland.

Ireland is “increasingly susceptible” to cyber attacks, espionage and attacks on our critical infrastructure — both by hostile states and criminal gangs — according to a new Government defence assessment.

The Defence Policy Review 2024 — the first since 2019 — puts maritime security top of the priority list for the State, with cyber and hybrid security other key areas.
