Check out UL Professor Tom Newe\'s insightful piece published in Silicon Republic. Tom is a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at University of Limerick, a project partner of Cyber Skills, sheds light on the pressing security challenges faced by legacy operational technology (OT) systems and the alarming rise in cyberattacks targeting industrial systems. In his article, Tom emphasizes the critical need for personnel skilled in OT security, highlighting the significant gap in experienced professionals in this rapidly growing area. As industries continue to integrate OT with IT networks-a process known as IT-OT convergence-the complexity of securing these environments increases, making specialized training and education programs more important than ever. Tom discusses how this paradigm is gradually shifting thanks to Irish Government initiatives like the Higher Education Authority Human Capital Initiative (HEA-HCI), which now provides 80% funding for cybersecurity courses at partner universities, MTU, UL and TUD. This funding empowers universities across Ireland to address industry skill gaps and develop comprehensive training programs. One such program is the Professional Diploma in OT Security, a collaboration between Graduate and Professional Studies at the University of Limerick and Cyber Skills. This course specifically targets the cybersecurity needs of integrated IT-OT systems. Participants have the opportunity to use advanced cyber range infrastructure, providing an on-site simulation solution to model both IT and OT environments. These simulations facilitate realistic scenario training, including genuine cyberattacks, helping participants develop practical skills t |

2023-10-17 00:00:00 | Mois de la cybersécurité: les Irlandais ont demandé à reconsidérer leurs choix de mots de passe Cyber Security Month: Irish People Urged to Reconsider Their Password Choices (lien direct) |
Alors que le Mois de la cybersécurité commence, les données de Cyber Skills ont révélé que les clubs sportifs populaires, les personnalités radio renommées et les programmes télévisés bien-aimés sont parmi les mots de passe les plus courants parmi les utilisateurs d'Internet, ce qui en fait des objectifs de premier ordre pour les cybercriminels. En utilisant le site Web Heebeenpwned, qui abrite plus de 613 millions de mots de passe à partir de comptes piratés, une étude a été menée pour évaluer la vulnérabilité de certains mots de passe.En entrant des noms de célébrités irlandaises éminentes, d'équipes sportives et de contenu culturel, les résultats étaient intéressants.Ces choix apparemment "uniques" étaient, en réalité, répandus et facilement supposables par les pirates. Les directives d'identité numérique du National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mettent l'accent sur l'importance des pratiques de mot de passe sécurisées, conseillant aux organisations d'empêcher les abonnés de l'utilisation de mots de passe qui sont précédemment apparus dans une violation de données.Cette recommandation souligne la signification de la sélection de mots de passe qui n'ont pas été compromis dans les cyber-incidents passés. Hazel Murray de Cyber Skills a commenté "Ce que beaucoup considèrent comme un mot de passe \\ 'fort \', faisant référence aux points de contact culturels, est en fait facilement déchiffré par les cybercriminels.sera fort.Elle a ajouté que "Glenroe a terminé il y a plus de 20 ans à la télévision, mais il a été utilisé près de 90 fois dans la base de données piratée de mots de passe." Richard Browne du National Cyber Security Center conseille: «Utilisez des mots de passe forts diversifiés, plus le mot de passe est long, plus il est difficile de casser.Si vous allez à dix personnages ou plus, il devient très très difficile de le casser. Certains des mots de passe les plus courants de la base de données des mots de passe piratés sont: 123456 - 36 millions de fois Qwerty - 10 millions de fois Mot de passe 9 millions de fois À la lumière de ces résultats, les Irlandais sont invités à réévaluer et à renforcer leurs choix de mots de passe.Le mois de la cybersécurité sert de rappel en temps opportun de l'importance de sauvegarder notre présence numérique.En prenant des mesures proactives et en nous éduquant sur les meilleures pratiques, nous pouvons collectivement contrecarrer les cyber-menaces et assurer un environnement en ligne plus sûr pour tous.

2023-09-14 00:00:00 | La petite idée avec un grand impact sur l'écart de talents de cybersécurité The Small Idea With a Big Impact on the Cybersecurity Talent Gap (lien direct) |
The cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $8 trillion globally this year, yet the scarcity of security talent is becoming more pronounced. With more than 750,000 cybersecurity positions unfilled in the U.S. and 3.5 million positions worldwide unfilled, the race is on to close the skills shortage that is estimated to contribute to 80% of all security breaches. In 2022, cyberattacks increased by 38%. The global average cost of a data breach reached $4.35 million, while the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. reached $9.44 million, according to a report by IBM and the U.S.-based Ponemon Institute. Bringing on more technical talent is central to companies in order to stop these threat actors. “Cybercrime can be very lucrative. And the reality is, talent is your best line of defense,” said Donna O\'Shea, chair of cybersecurity at Munster Technological University (MTU) in Cork, Ireland. Easing the Talent Crunch With Bite-Sized Learning As the digital economy evolves, more opportunities for malicious attacks are coming to the fore. Creative approaches aimed at increasing the pool of security professionals are emerging–and bringing down the barriers that once kept people from pursuing these lucrative roles. “There has been a lot of progress made in terms of the way that we deliver cybersecurity education,” O\'Shea said. Micro-credentials are small, accredited courses that allow candidates to pursue highly focused upskilling and reskilling that respond to niche labor market needs. Experts predict that lowering the time and costs involved in post-graduate studies will attract more learners and help address the cybersecurity talent scarcity. In 2020, the Irish Universities Association (IUA) was awarded €12.3 million through the country\'s Department of Further and Higher Education to become the first European country to establish a national framework for nationally accredited micro-credentials. “This is a real innovation in workforce development and lifelong learning,” says Aisling Soden, talent transformation & innovation manager for IDA Ireland. The cyberskills micro-credential programs are administered through academic institutes, co-designed by industry and, in time, will be transferrable across Europe. Because they are offered online, Soden also sees micro-credentials as a way to help companies upskill staff with specific cybersecurity skills to an international standard of education. These highly specific cybersecurity short courses will also benefit companies looking to upskill internal staff or access new talent in 25+ critical areas such as network systems, security standards & risk, security architecture, malware, reverse engineering and more. Soden envisions the micro-credential standards playing a bigger role on the global stage: “In the future, I can see these standards being recognized worldwide.” Underrepresented Communities: An Untapped Resource In 2022, Ireland was one of only a few countries to make headway in the quest to narrow cybersecurity talent shortages. Most regions around the world reported an increase in their cybersecurity workforce gap, according to a report by (ISC)², the world\'s leading cybersecurity professional organization. Last year, Ireland closed its cybersecurity skills gap by 19.5% while the global gap grew by 26.2%. O\'Shea stressed the need to do a “much better job globally of reaching underrepresented populations to fill these open positions.” Especially now, she says, as micro-credentials bring down the cost, time commitments and previously required masters-level studies for training for cybersecurity jobs, opportunities must increase for women, military veterans, minority groups and people from financially disadvantaged communities. There\'s also an untapped market of individuals displaced from hospitality and other service sectors during the pandemic. Society needs to do a better job of fostering cybersecurity talent across the entire hiring spectrum, said O\'Shea.

2023-08-16 00:00:00 | Réponses rapides aux questions rapides: Ivan Houlihan, SVP et chef de la côte ouest des États-Unis pour Ida Ireland Quick answers to Quick Questions: Ivan Houlihan, SVP & Head of West Coast U.S for IDA Ireland (lien direct) |
A slightly different conversation this week as we speak to Ivan Houlihan, Senior Vice President and Head of the West Coast of the United States for IDA Ireland–the Investment and Development Agency of the Irish Government, which promotes foreign direct investment into Ireland. Based in California, Ivan leads the team that works closely with existing and potential clients in technology, financial services, life sciences and engineering throughout the Western US and Mexico. We hope you enjoy this week\'s angle about on Cybersecurity, cyber skills and microcredentials. M.R. Rangaswami: How Do Microcredentials Address the Cybersecurity Talent Scarcity Problem? Ivan Houlihan: While nations pass resolutions and laws that try to prevent cybercrime, the most widespread answer is increasing the supply of expert security talent to stay ahead of the criminals. Ivan Houlihan suggests an innovative approach, which involves the concept of microcredentials. These are small, accredited courses that allow candidates to pursue highly focused upskilling and reskilling that responds to specific market needs. Besides creating qualified new candidates to quickly come on board, this solution opens the door to workers that might otherwise not have pursued careers in cybersecurity. As the head of the West Coast U.S. for IDA Ireland, Houlihan has seen an increasing number of American technology firms with operations in Ireland employ this strategy to address their cybersecurity talent crunch. When it comes to microcredentials in cybersecurity, Houlihan believes that Ireland\'s innovative training programs can become a model for other nations seeking to address the serious issue of cybercrime, which is predicted to cost the world $10.5 trillion by 2025. In this quick Q&A, he explains the basics of setting up a microcredentials program in the cybersecurity space – although microcredentials can be earned in other technical areas, too. M.R. Rangaswami: What are some of the current issues impacting cybersecurity staffing and why are microcredential programs a reasonable solution? Ivan: Technology workers in general are often in short supply, but when it comes to qualified cybersecurity personnel, the problem is compounded by educational requirements along with needed specific skills that take time and money for those seeking to enter this field. Technical degrees, specialized training and often, often some graduate work, have discouraged many would-be candidates, particularly those put off by the prospect of student loans and related barriers. One of the biggest myths in the cybersecurity field is that it\'s just for people with high proficiency in math, men only or those with certain graduate degrees. People also assume they must go to renowned universities to study for the field in order to pursue such careers. All these factors have conspired to decrease the pool of qualified candidates. Microcredential programs short-circuit the time and cost of pursuing a lucrative cybersecurity career, although the field does require some technical training as a starting point. Fortunately, being male, having graduate degrees and other assumptions don\'t apply, however. Microcredentials bring down the cost and time commitments while increasing cybersecurity job opportunities for women, military veterans, minority groups, people from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, workers from other departments and others previously not often found in the profession. And since microcredential programs are typically online, they are of short duration and can be “stacked” or combined to form bigger accreditations – this makes it easier to get the right kind of training for a promising new career. The most successful microcredential programs demonstrate a collaborative effort between universities, governments, research institutions and industry, with the latter providing curriculum input based on what the candidates need to know to hit the ground running.

Pauline partage son expérience de l'étude du développement de logiciels sécurisés avec des cyber-compétences et de la valeur que la voie lui a offerte.
«Ayant vu de première main les dégâts causés par la perte de données en raison d'une simple attaque de phishing, j'ai décidé d'un changement de carrière et je suis retourné au TUD pour étudier la criminalistique numérique et la cybersécurité.Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme avec un BSC (Hons), j'ai commencé comme analyste de sécurité avec Edgecan où je fais actuellement partie d'une équipe dédiée à l'amélioration de l'application client et de la sécurité du système.
Après mes études de diplôme, je cherchais une opportunité d'élargir mes connaissances des pratiques de codage sécurisées, en particulier en termes d'applications Web.Le cours est dispensé indépendant de la langue permettant à chaque étudiant de se concentrer sur les faiblesses et les vulnérabilités codantes réelles et les meilleures pratiques pour leur correction plutôt que sur un langage de codage inconnu.Le cours couvre non seulement les bonnes pratiques de codage, mais aussi la façon dont les vulnérabilités du système peuvent avoir un impact sur la posture de sécurité d'une organisation en termes de normes professionnelles.
J'ai découvert la voie de développement de logiciels sécurisé les compétences en cyber à travers un lien Cyber Ireland et après avoir assisté à une introduction virtuelle au cours et écouter ce que les professeurs avaient à dire sur le cours ont décidé que ce serait l'occasion idéale d'élargir mes compétences dans ce domaine ».
Sponsored by Cyber Ireland The Munster Technological University Faculty of Engineering & Science Awards recognise and celebrate students who have shown academic excellence throughout the year. For the first time this year, Cyber Skills had a category, honouring three students who excelled in their chosen pathway. Pauline shares her experience of studying Secure Software Development with Cyber Skills and the value the pathway has provided her. “Having seen first-hand the damage caused through data loss because of a simple phishing attack, I decided on a career change and returned to TUD to study Digital Forensics & Cyber Security. After graduating with a BSc (Hons) I started as a security analyst with Edgescan where I am currently part of a team dedicated to improving client application and system security. Following on from my degree studies, I was seeking an opportunity to expand my knowledge of secure coding practices, particularly in terms of web applications. The course is delivered language independent allowing each student to focus on the actual coding weaknesses and vulnerabilities and the best practices for their remediation rather than on an unfamiliar coding language. The course not only covers the good coding practices but also how system vulnerabilities can impact the security posture of an organisation in terms of professional standards. I discovered the Cyber Skills Secure Software Development pathway through a Cyber Ireland link and after attending a virtual introduction to the course and listening to what the lecturers had to say about the course decided it would be the perfect opportunity to expand my skills in this area”. |

2022-05-13 00:00:00 | 61% des entreprises de cybersécurité ont des problèmes de recrutement du personnel 61% of cyber security businesses have issues recruiting staff (lien direct) |
Comme présenté par RTE
Une nouvelle enquête a révélé que 61% des entreprises de cybersécurité ont eu des problèmes liés au personnel lorsqu'il s'agit de recrutement du personnel.
Selon le rapport de Cyber Ireland et Cyber Skills, les problèmes rencontrés comprennent un manque de candidats sur le marché du travail avec le niveau de compétence approprié, la concurrence d'autres entreprises de cybersécurité, le manque de compétences non techniques et les salaires inabordables.
Le rapport \\ 'State of the Cyber Security in Ireland \' a révélé que 83% des entreprises interrogées s'attendent à ce que leurs équipes de cybersécurité augmentent au cours des douze prochains mois.
Demain sera le premier anniversaire de la Cyber Attack, l'exécutif des services de santé et le HSE a déclaré qu'il était particulièrement difficile de recruter le personnel de cybersécurité en ce moment en raison de la compétition pour les talents.
Aujourd'hui, le rapport de cybersécurité de \\ a été lancé par le ministre d'État avec responsabilité du secteur Ossian Smyth.
"Il y a eu plusieurs incidents importants en cybersécurité au cours des dernières années, notamment l'incident affectant le HSE en mai de l'année dernière", a déclaré M. Smith.
"Ces résultats seront essentiels pour développer nos objectifs ambitieux pour soutenir la croissance et le développement futurs du secteur de la cybersécurité dans les années à venir", a-t-il ajouté.
L'étude a révélé qu'il est possible de positionner l'Irlande en tant que leader mondial de la cybersécurité et de faire passer le marché du travail à plus de 17 000 d'ici 2030.
"Ce rapport montre la taille et l'échelle du secteur de la cybersécurité, essentielle à notre économie et à notre société, qui emploie 7 300 professionnels et contribue et Euro; 1,1 milliard de dollars en valeur ajoutée brute (GVA) par an", a déclaré le gestionnaire de cluster de Cyber Ireland, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR, DR,Eoin Byrne.

2022-04-12 00:00:00 | Quels sont les besoins futurs de la cybersécurité en Irlande? What are the future cybersecurity needs in Ireland? (lien direct) |
By Dr Lubna Luxmi Dhirani and Dr Tom Newe, featured in Silicon Republic University of Limerick\'s Dr Lubna Luxmi Dhirani and Dr Tom Newe examine the security skills shortage in Ireland and how it can be addressed. As the amount of interconnected smart buildings, smart grids and autonomous vehicles etc increases, we need to ask the question – what if the critical underlying infrastructure of this smart world is hacked, controlled or manipulated for a ransom? In the modern times we live in, the impact and potentially damaging consequences of a cyberattack are much greater than in the past. Data is the new gold and cybercriminals are the gold rush prospectors of this era. Recent attacks include the HSE cyberattack in 2020, which is estimated to have cost the Irish taxpayer more than €100m. The world\'s most valuable oil producer Saudi Aramco was breached in 2021, where hackers scraped 1TB of data and kept it on a leak site while seeking a ransom of $50m in cryptocurrency. The hackers had access to data that contained the full information on 14,254 employees, their names, passport details, phone numbers, email, job title, residence permits, as well as business/company data such as project specifications, client lists etc. This information is of potential use and value to many different types of threat actors on the dark web. How this happened is still relatively unknown. If the response is to pay these ransoms, then the cyber prospectors will keep on digging until the shortage of cyber professionals capable of combatting and preventing these threats is addressed. Careers in cybersecurity are professionally and financially rewarding and the sector is growing at a rate of 10pc per annum in Ireland and worldwide. Results of a recent study commissioned by Cyber Ireland, due to be published in May 2022, show that there are more than 450 cybersecurity businesses in the Republic of Ireland that employ close to 7,000 people. This growing cybersecurity sector will require an increasing number of graduates of all classifications over the coming years and, in particular, cyber-skilled workers are needed. Cybersecurity skills and a good understanding of how these skills can impact our daily lives, wider society and community are important. As per 2021 statistics, around 98pc of successful cyberattacks were of the social engineering variety – psychological manipulation to trick users into making security mistakes or giving away sensitive information – and were successful because of a lack of cyber awareness and understanding by the end user. With the continuous growth of, and increased dependency on, smart devices and technology at work and at home, the threat of cyberattacks on business and individuals is an ever-increasing problem. Now is the time to consider a career in cybersecurity. GDPR compliance and the EU directive NIS2 assist in increasing the level of cybersecurity in Europe, but every day new vulnerabilities and threat scenarios surface. In these cyber-challenging times, people need to be trained in cyber defence, offence, threat intelligence, cyber standards and risk, data and network security, etc. Careers in the cyber world are diverse and versatile. Many different skills are required and this enables different people with different abilities to have rewarding careers. Cybersecurity solutions are not always technical – inculcating a good understanding of security issues, solutions and risks and being able to communicate the necessary solutions and strategies effectively will always be necessary. The Cyber Ireland study highlights a significant shortfall in cybersecurity talent in Ireland against a backdrop of increased demand. This report states that one of the most significant factors leading to data breaches across digital structures globally is the lack of training of non-technical employees and the lack of highly skilled cybersecurity professionals. For many seeking training in cybersecurity, a full-time course is not an option and they seek on-the-job training options instead. This | Vulnerability Threat Studies Technical | ★★ | |

Whenever we are trying to master a new skill, we have all heard about the importance of practise. The associated attention, rehearsal and repetition leads to the acquisition of new knowledge or skills that can later be developed into more complex skillsets. This sentiment has been seen throughout history, where some of the world\'s most masterful people have shared a similar philosophy that is still true today: Bruce Lee - “Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practising, our work will become natural, skillfull, swift and steady” Abraham Lincoln - “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Japanese Proverb – “Tomorrow\'s battle is won during todays practice” Vincent Van Gough – “As practise makes perfect, I cannot but make progress, each drawing one makes, each study one paints is a step forward” Marshawn Lynch - “When you get to practice against the best, it brings the best out of you.” Martha Graham – “Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired” Unknown - “Don\'t practise until you get it right, practice until you can\'t get it wrong” Others might disagree slightly: Vince Lombardi – “Practise does not make perfect. Only perfect practise makes perfect” So, the message is clear, to master a skill, we need to practise but we need to practise against the best and in the best most realistic possible environment. In terms of cybersecurity, as the cyber threat environment grows more intense, cyber defence groups require more and more skilled professionals to help with the onslaught of cyberattacks. However, they are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and hire trained security professionals as having a degree in cybersecurity is usually not enough to give an individual the skills required for mitigating sophisticated attacks. For Cyber Security professionals, the required practise involves realistic breach scenarios or cyberattacks. These breaches or cyberattacks are any attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer, computing system or computer network with the intent to cause damage. The aim to disable, disrupt, destroy or control computer systems or to alter, block, delete, manipulate or steal the data held within these systems. Day-to-day work in cybersecurity offers few opportunities for such training on the job, resulting in the required practise being an extremely difficult thing to achieve. When you think about it, cyberattacks are seemingly in the news every day, which seems to contradict my previous statement. However, the results of a cyberattack can range from causing inconvenience to dire consequences. A cyberattack on critical infrastructure and/or healthcare sectors don\'t just affect data or computer systems, they can wreak havoc in the physical world. This was seen all too well in Ireland in the not so distant past. So, cyberattacks are prevalent but the consequences mean we aim to prevent as many breaches as possible and reduce the impact, contain and eradicate any attack that exploits a system. There lies the problem, cyber security professionals require realistic breach scenarios and cyberattacks to train and become sufficiently skilled but cyber professionals are consistently working hard to prevent such attacks in the real-world. So the question is, “how do we train cyber security professionals to deal with the challenging ever-changing cyber environment?”. The answer is a Cyber Range! A Cyber Range provides a secure, sandboxed virtual interactive training environment that can simulate real-world feel scenarios and environments, including complex IT environments and attacks on IT infrastructure, networks, software platforms and applications. As a result, a cyber range infrastructure provides the required training and practise elements of realistic breach scenarios and cyberattacks.
