On December 2, 2025, Ireland's National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) released the 2025 National Cyber Risk Assessment, identifying key systemic risks to critical national infrastructure and supply chains, including geopolitical tensions and technological threats. The report emphasizes the need for enhanced monitoring, proactive defense measures, and investment in national cyber capacity, while a separate study from Munster Technological University highlights low cybersecurity levels among SMEs, particularly in healthcare. Findings will be published on the NCSC website in early 2026.
