Minister of State Catherine Ardagh, responsible for the cyber security portfolio during Ireland’s EU Presidency, delivered a keynote address at the 13th Annual European Cyber Security Conference held in Brussels. The event, themed "Securing Europe’s Digital Future," convened policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to examine challenges and opportunities in digital resilience, supply chain security, and artificial intelligence.
In her speech, Minister Ardagh reaffirmed Ireland’s dedication to progressing negotiations on the Cybersecurity Act review. She emphasised the act’s critical role in bolstering trust, certification, and the security of vital ICT supply chains, describing it as both an economic and strategic necessity given Europe's interconnected economies.
The Minister also stressed the importance of measurable results from the EU’s comprehensive cyber security legislation. She noted that success should be evaluated by enhanced organisational resilience, better protection of critical services, earlier threat detection, more effective management of cyber incidents, and faster recovery, rather than by legislative texts alone.
