Ireland — Cyber Threat Profile
In early 2026, Ireland is operationalizing the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, which officially transposes the NIS2 Directive into Irish law. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-IE) has expanded its oversight to approximately 4,000 entities, with a focus on 16 mandatory Risk Management Measures. Ireland's unique position as a global tech hub has made supply-chain security and "sovereign cloud" resilience top priorities. The government is enforcing strict incident reporting timelines and board-level accountability for security failures. Through the CyFun initiative, Ireland is also supporting SMEs in building baseline defenses against AI-powered phishing, ensuring the nation remains a secure gateway for international investment.- National CERT/CSIRT: CSIRT-IE
