WELCOMEWelcome to the IIEA Cybersecurity Conference. Today’s event brings together for the first time in Ireland a unique line-up of policymakers, practitioners and experts from across the globe to discuss emerging cybersecurity challenges. It is the biggest conference on these issues to be held in Ireland in 2013, and we are delighted that you are here in the Mansion House to participate. We are very pleased to welcome to the conference An Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore T.D., and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Pat Rabbitte T.D. Cybersecurity has moved to the very top of the global agenda. Ongoing debates over state surveillance, growing incidents of cyber attacks on global businesses, and the increasing complexity and range of cybercrimes targeting the individual citizen,

highlight the fundamental importance of information security in the digital age. In a period of constant technological evolution, securing against new kinds of threat – and balancing security demands with protection of civil liberties – is increasingly vital. Today’s conference will consider these policy issues from the perspective of businesses, citizens, states and multilateral organisations; each of whom is adapting to a rapidly shifting global environment.
