Cybersecurity is a key risk that poses a threat to Ireland, Micheal Martin says
Tanaiste Micheál Martin said he views cybersecurity as “a key risk” and also highlighted the need for adaptation to climate change, as a report revealed the top threats facing Ireland following a National Risk Assessment report.
Research found Infections that are resistant to medicines were the biggest threat facing Ireland, with a pandemic, cyber attacks and disruption to critical supply chains next on the list.
Professor Caroline McMullan, the lead researcher of the academic project Futureproof.ie which helped with the assessment, said the report provides an evidence base for creating policy around emergency planning.
