Boost business growth and competitiveness with digital tools and cyber security. Learn how upskilling teams can mitigate risks and drive success.
Digital tools are significantly important in helping businesses grow, scale and drive competitiveness. Building and leveraging digital literacy is key to safeguarding these tools and growth, and to mitigate against any potential risks.
Cyber security skills for growth
Cyber security can be a complex topic but is fundamentally about people and skills. Your team’s ability to identify and address risks is essential for business growth, job creation and the stability of the wider economy. Education, skills and knowledge-sharing will help a business to address this challenge.
Enterprise Ireland is working with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to help businesses secure their digital infrastructure. The Cyber Security Review Grant, delivered by Enterprise Ireland, supports entrepreneurs in identifying risks and taking the first steps on their cyber security journey, guided by experts willing to share their knowledge and help your team to upskill in this area.
Upskilling is essential to
bridge the digital divide and
promote economic growth.
Irish companies tackling cyber security challenges
Many Irish-owned companies across a variety of sectors have harnessed this support already, each with a different background or challenge in this space. For example, some are selling into global supply chains in Ireland and know cyber security is a key question their buyers will put to them.
Other Irish companies are using the Cyber Security Grant to build a roadmap for their journey in this area; not only identifying current vulnerabilities but gaining skills, so they are equipped to deal with any future challenges that may arise.
Upskilling for digital growth
Upskilling is essential to bridge the digital divide and promote economic growth. By raising awareness of the importance of digital skills, investing in education and training and fostering a culture of lifelong learning, we can ensure that people and businesses have the tools they need to securely thrive in the cyber age. Such a complex and important topic could have the potential to be overwhelming, but remember that a good start is half the work.
