Business resilience as national resilience: From compliance to competitiveness in Europe’s cybersecurity agenda


To coincide with Ireland’s EU Presidency ‘Cyber Week’ in Dublin, Ibec and ADAPT/Trinity Centre for Digital Security and Societal Resilience are delighted to host an event on cyber resilience for business.

About the event:

Ibec and Trinity’s Centre for Digital Security and Societal Resilience will convene invited policymakers, regulators, and business leaders to examine how Ireland can strengthen its cyber resilience while enhancing competitiveness.

The event will explore the practical implementation of the NIS2 Directive, the need for targeted supports to help SMEs meet cybersecurity obligations, and Ireland’s priorities for the forthcoming revision of the EU Cybersecurity Act (CSA2).
