All-Island Cyber Security Sector Study - chance to win ￡50 voucher!

We have been working collaboratively with Cyber Ireland and InterTradeIreland to build a comprehensive study, aiming to assess the current state and future potential of the cyber security sector across the island of Ireland. To date, we have identified over 600 businesses, highlighting the strength of the all-island cyber security ecosystem.

We kindly request your participation in this research survey to help us further map the ecosystem, and understand the challenges, successes, and growth opportunities within the cyber security sector. The insights from this study will help to develop new initiatives and strategies to support the sector's development and foster collaboration between businesses and organisations across the island.

The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete, and all responses will be treated anonymously and in accordance with our privacy policy. As a token of appreciation for your time and effort, participants will have the chance to enter a prize draw for up to five x ￡50 Love2Shop vouchers or a donation to a charity of your choice.
