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.

2023-06-02 00:00:00 | Le professeur Donna O \\ 'Shea contribue à la commission mixte sur les transports et les communications \\\' Vision for Cyber Security Prof. Donna O\\'Shea contributes to Joint Committee on Transport and Communications\\\' Vision for Cyber Security (lien direct) |
The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications met on Wednesday, 31st May 2023, to discuss a common vision for cyber security in Ireland.
MTU\'s Chair of Cybersecurity and Cyber Skills Project Lead, Prof. Donna O\'Shea, and Computer Science Head of Department, Dr. Sean McSweeney had the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.
Watch the full Committee discussion and Prof. Donna O\'Shea\'s opening statement at 38.25 minutes https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/oireachtas-tv/video-archive/committees/7900
Their recommendations for the future of cyber security in Ireland include:
Establishing an SFI Research Centre in Cybersecurity bringing together HEIs with industry, business, public sector, and security forces partners.
Ensuring a fixed percentage of all national funding for digitalization be specifically ring fenced for cybersecurity.
Establishing cybersecurity infrastructure to support collaborative R&D and skills and training.
In her opening statement, Prof Donna O\'Shea stated that “Cyber capabilities within our own borders are important because even though talent can often be evenly distributed throughout the world, the opportunity for engaging that talent in the innovation economy is not equal.
Innovation driven entrepreneurship clusters develop high concentration clusters around the world. In the cybersecurity sector, this clustering is particularly evident with cybersecurity innovation highly localized to specific regions supported by Government funded innovation ecosystems, Versova in Israel, Tallinn in Estonia, and Belfast in Northern Ireland are well known examples of established innovation ecosystems in cybersecurity.”
Prof. O\'Shea emphasised the potential for a shared digital island which represents enormous opportunities for economic social advancement as physical political borders are becoming increasingly insignificant and the need for a common approach to protect the island of Ireland as a whole.
Prof. O\'Shea also highlighted the need to establish a baseline standard of cybersecurity education with 50% of that education dedicated to practical activities.
In closing, Prof. O\'Shea summarised the challenge and opportunity for the future is to ensure that Ireland has the capacity and capability to develop research development and innovation solutions to deal with the increasingly complex and expanding threat landscape that is a consequence of digitalization, and to realise this opportunity greater investment is required to ensure that we develop a more cohesive and responsive research development and innovation ecosystem supported by a highly skilled workforce of professionals.

En 2021, l'ECSO a lancé un appel à l'action pour identifier et réunir les fournisseurs de cyber-gamme européens et les utilisateurs finaux.L'objectif de cette initiative était de consolider les approches des services et des concepts européens en activité de cyber-gamme, promouvoir et soutenir le développement de meilleures pratiques et directives qui définissent la «cyber-gamme européenne» et son absorption, et aident à façonner le développement ultérieur de l'Europeanplates-formes et solutions de cyber-gamme.
Le Dr Donna O \\ 'Shea, président de la cybersécurité de MTU, faisait partie du groupe de travail qui s'est réunie pour promouvoir et soutenir les meilleures pratiques et développer des directives qui définissent les cyber-gammes.À partir de quoi, ECSO a identifié les caractéristiques clés d'une plate-forme de cyber-gamme, présentée sous la forme d'une liste de contrôle pour les utilisateurs finaux et les groupes.Cette liste de contrôle peut être exploitée par les utilisateurs finaux pour définir leurs exigences de cyber-gamme et leurs critères d'attribution ultérieurs pour les appels d'offres électroniques à des fins d'approvisionnement.L'ECSO, par son appel à l'action, a également identifié les fournisseurs de cyber-gammes européens, prévoyant la première fois un point central et un référentiel de ces fournisseurs.
Présentation de la cyber-gamme
La définition de l'ECSO \\ d'une gamme de cyber est la suivante: «Une gamme de cyber est une plate-forme pour le développement, la livraison et l'utilisation d'environnements de simulation interactifs».
Une cyber-gamme permet et prend en charge:
La R&I avancée en cybersécurité, permettant aux organisations du secteur public et privé de tester, dans un environnement de sable sécurisé, la cyber-résilience de leurs systèmes numériques contre les cyberattaques, ce qui permet d'identifier et de corriger les faiblesses avant que les cybercriminels ne puissent les exploiter.
Recherche interdisciplinaire sur la compréhension des tactiques d'ingénierie psychosociale des attaques de cybersécurité, soutenant le développement de facteurs humains combinés et de solutions technologiques pour atténuer ces attaques.
Formation des compétences avancées de cybersécurité pour les apprenants académiques et en milieu de travail qui pourront perfectionner leurs compétences dans les environnements de formation très réalistes que les cyber-gammes peuvent offrir.

Vital business operations in many industries are increasingly carried out and managed online, which has given rise to a heightened need for comprehensive digital security training and awareness. One of the primary concerns of industry leaders in the manufacturing field is how they can secure the seamless functioning of their OT (Operational Technology) systems. OT is a term that describes hardware and software which is used to oversee and control the physical devices, processes and events associated with any given business enterprise. With the advent of Industry 4.0, which seeks to establish automated protocols and operation guidelines for the manufacturing industry, the secure functioning of OT systems underpinning manufacturing processes is paramount. Unlike IT attacks that generally target data, OT attacks focus on industrial control systems (ICS), leading to a tangible physical impact. For example, during a 2017 Triton/Trisis cyberattack on a Middle East petrochemical plant\'s safety instrumentation system, the attackers triggered an outage that could have led to the release of toxic hydrogen sulphide gas or caused explosions. In the USA, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware cyberattack in May 2021 threatened the security of the company\'s oil pipeline infrastructure. This incident highlighted the need for OT engineers to understand and be able to defend against sophisticated cyber attacks. Whilst cyber attacks exist in the digital space, they can have a real and tangible effect on the physical world. Bridging the educational gap Recent hacks within vital sectors of the Irish economy have highlighted both the pressing need for workers who are highly skilled in cyber security, and the current shortage of such workers. The Professional Diploma in OT Security is an innovative new programme that bridges this urgent educational gap. This diploma is jointly offered by two HEA-Human Capital Initiatives: Cyber Skills (Ireland\'s leading cyber security initiative) and UL@Work (a University of Limerick-based initiative that provides digital skills programmes to thoroughly prepare graduates for the workplace). Cyber Skills was established in order to address the critical skills shortage in cyber security by providing flexible, university-accredited online micro-credentials and pathways, delivered by lecturers who are experts in their field. Cyber Skills\' courses have been created by academic leaders in MTU, UL and TU Dublin, as well as the institute\'s industry partners. Integrating OT and IT knowledge The Professional Diploma in OT Security is designed to develop the skills of emerging cyber security experts in Smart Manufacturing. The diploma is ideal for professionals who are directly or indirectly involved in integrating OT and IT systems to facilitate Industry 4.0 standards in their organisation. Programme lecturers actively encourage individuals and companies to invest in their employees\' skills, knowledge and training, in order to protect and strengthen their organisation\'s defence against cyber attacks. Prof. Thomas Newe, Associate Professor with UL\'s Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, explains that the diploma is particularly beneficial for IT professionals who are unfamiliar with OT. “The course really helps IT engineers to better understand OT, and learn how IT securely interfaces with it.” Deeper understanding and career progression: what students can expect The course curriculum will give participants a s | Ransomware Hack Threat Industrial | ★★ | |

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.

Cyber Skills Launches during an urgent Cyber Security Crisis for Ireland We are living through a digital revolution and as we watch the world shift most of its systems online, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our data, systems and identities are vulnerable. Whilst we have a growing IT industry, technology rapidly changes and updates leaving all our Industries, from Finance, Industry 4.0, Healthcare etc in a skills gap for Cyber Security. Welcome to Cyber Skills Munster Technological University has officially launched Cyber Skills, a new collaborative initiative that address the critical skills shortage of cybersecurity professionals in Ireland – that can be scaled out Internationally. Cyber Skills was awarded a significant amount of funding of €8.1 million from the Human Capital Initiative programme from the Higher Authority of Ireland. Cyber Skills academic partners include Technological University Dublin, University of Limerick, University College Dublin, and the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative based in Virginia Tech in the US. By collaborating with academic institutions the initiative can keep ahead of cyber-criminals in a fast-changing technological environment. Professor Donna O\'Shea, Chairwoman of Cyber Security at MTU, is the project lead for the initiative. As an expert in Cyber Security, Donna feels: “Cybersecurity professionals are a company\'s best line of defence in a threat landscape that has become increasingly complex.” Cyber Skills works closely with Industry in order to gain insights into the needs of the Cyber Security workplace. This is to ensure that pathways, modules and credentials are designed in a way that targets up-skilling and re-skilling efficiently in order to produce workplace-ready graduates. Cyber Skills at its core has a mission of empowering IT professionals to up skill themselves flexibly. There is a strong awareness of how busy life has become for most people which is why Cyber Skills is incorporating fully online delivery and the use of the first Cyber Range in Ireland where learners can test their new skills. An added benefit is that these innovative delivery methods mean these programmes can be scaled regionally, nationally, and even internationally. What highlights the necessity for Cyber Skills is the eagerness of Industry partners to link with the initiative. Dell Technologies and Mastercard have come on board and are helping to develop three academic pathways which include certificates in Secure Network Operations, Secure Software Development, and Secure Software Architecture. Their staff are some of the first students to come on to Cyber Skills and will be some of the first graduates of the pathways. The Launch Cyber Skills hosted its official launch, virtually on June 1st at 10:30am. The hour-long launch came live from the VE Studios Cork where industry partners, cyber security researchers and university project partners took the viewer through the importance of addressing cyber skills shortages in Ireland and the benefits this project will have to industry both nationally and internationally.
