Business leaders from across Ireland gathered in Dublin this week to discuss the growing cybersecurity risks facing organisations and the practical steps needed to improve resilience against increasingly sophisticated attacks.
More than 50 senior executives, IT leaders and risk professionals attended the event, From Threat to Action: Cyber Resilience for Irish Businesses, hosted by Leaf IT in partnership with Dublin Chamber.
The breakfast briefing focused on the evolving cyber threat landscape and featured presentations from cybersecurity specialists at eSentire, Mimecast, OpenText and Leaf IT.
A key theme throughout the event was the need for cybersecurity to be treated as a boardroom issue rather than solely an IT responsibility.
Speakers stressed that cyber resilience now forms a critical part of overall business risk management.
Delegates heard that a relatively small proportion of employees can create the majority of cyber risk within an organisation, highlighting the importance of security awareness training, identity protection and human risk management as businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies.
