The state of cybersecurity in Ireland 

Amarach report for Microsoft Ireland 

With breaches on the rise, it’s time to dispel the myth that security is  
an add-on, and start talking about security as a differentiator, money- 
saver, and foundational element in every enterprise strategy. 

Since our last report on cybersecurity in Ireland, there have been several
high-profile media stories about the damage done by security  
breaches around the world. However, this is not a problem happening  
‘elsewhere’: our 2020 report shows that Irish businesses face critical  
vulnerabilities due to the behaviour of some of their employees.  

This report explores the employer perspective of the cybersecurity agenda and gives us a chance to examine some of the key perceptual gaps between employees and employers about emerging security threats. 

We have used a unique Microsoft framework to guide our 2020 research, focusing on four key areas of cyber vulnerability:  

• Identity and Access Management 
• Threat Protection 
• Security Management 
• Information Protection
