Fianna Fail is to propose the creation of a cyber-command unit as part of a plan to modernise the Defence Forces, following similar moves by other EU states.
The proposal, which is expected to be in the party’s general election manifesto, is to create a team of cyber-security experts drawn from the private sector to work within the Defence Forces. The team would protect the state from cyber-attacks by both criminals and other nations, such as Russia, which is suspected of targeting Irish institutions and IT companies based in Dublin.
