That’s a wrap on today’s CISO Forum meet up event in Dublin! Today’s conversations focused on the evolving regulatory landscape, with a spotlight on strategies for navigating NIS2. Speakers shared lessons on the importance of strong foundational controls, clear documentation, and choosing the right frameworks for resilience and compliance. We also explored the critical role of access management, continuous staff training, and staying ahead of insider threats. A real-world case study brought home the value of proactive planning and regular testing of incident response strategies.

"Why AI and Regulation Are Key Drivers of Cybersecurity in 2025." Cyber Ireland Cluster Manager, Eoin Byrne, highlights two key drivers for cybersecurity in 2025, which were featured in the Mediaplanet UK & IE Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity Campaign in the Business Post. He noted that "Proactive cybersecurity benefits all businesses and society. Ultimately, prioritising cybersecurity is not just about protecting an individual company; it benefits the entire economy. When businesses invest in robust security measures, they help safeguard their customers, suppliers, and partners, making Ireland a more resilient digital economy. The risks are real, but so are the opportunities for those who take cybersecurity seriously. Now is the time to act." Read the full campaign here: https://lnkd.in/gguKyBMC
