National Cyber Security Annual Update 2023

This year marks the inaugural publication of a National Cyber Security Annual Update, an initiative borne out of the public consultation at the Mid-Term point of the National Cyber Security Strategy. The National Cyber Security Annual Update provides a broad overview of the vast work that was carried out across Government in 2023.

The Update contains inputs from the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the National Cyber Security Centre, An Garda Síochána, the Defence Forces, and the Department of Foreign Affairs. The compilation of these updates offers a comprehensive outline of the work and developments in Ireland in the realm of cyber security.

This wide-ranging update showcases the vast cyber security work carried out across Ireland, highlighting the Government's interaction with academia, industry, and society to move the entire country forward while ensuring a safe and secure cyberspace for all.

Advances made in skills and capacity building, cyber diplomacy, and cyber security enterprise development are coupled with status reports on cyber incidents in Ireland for the year, the digital regulatory ecosystem, and raising cyber security awareness levels throughout all aspects of Irish society.
