Cybersecurity warning for Irish businesses ahead of EU Presidency

▤ Summary

PwC warns Irish businesses to strengthen cyber defenses ahead of Ireland’s EU Presidency, which will increase the country’s exposure to state-aligned attackers, hacktivists, and organized cybercrime. The guidance focuses on preparedness, resilience, rapid vulnerability patching, supplier assurance, MFA, zero trust, staff training, and incident response planning. The article also highlights AI as both a threat multiplier for attackers and a defense accelerator for security teams. Businesses in Ireland should treat the six-month Presidency window as a high-risk period and engage early with national cyber authorities.
