  It is not often that an old cynic like me is taken by surprise. But this is exactly what happened yesterday when I browsed the Business Post 's "Top 100 Movers and Shakers in Irish Tech" list to see my face looking back at me. I was delighted to be included in this list in the "the cyber security specialists keeping us safe" list. Congrats to everyone else who is included in the list. I am indeed in excellent company :) #cybersecurity #GDPR #Cyber https://www.business...

  Finally!!! Good to see someone recognising that having your systems hack other companies’ systems needs more than an “oops, my bad” response “The European Commission is in talks with OpenAI and Anthropic over recent hacking incidents involving their AI models, Commission officials said today, as they touted landmark EU rules requiring strict monitoring of high-risk systems.” https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2026/0731/1586020-eu-in-talks-with-openai-after-rogue-ai-agent-hacks/

  There’s lots of debate on the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident. My question is: who is liable when an AI isn’t properly contained & harms others? CISOs should use this as a prompt to understand their own AI liability & how to respond if another org’s AI attacks them. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3ek3gvdnj3o

  I wrote a paper for Digital Business Ireland on the potential impact the proposed changes to the #EU #Cybersecurity Act (#CSA 2.0) could have on SMEs. I also highlight steps to address those issues. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the topic https://www.digitalbusinessireland.ie/news/digital-business-ireland-calls-for-government-action-on-eu-cybersecurity-proposals/

  Interesting story of an Irish company falling victim to BEC fraud. Criminals hijacked an employee’s email account in the victim company. They then used that account to send payment instructions to the company’s outsourced financial admin company. The victim company lost €2 million. The victim company is now suing the payments company on the basis that the payment company should have spotted that the emails were fraudulent https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/company-has-more-than-2m-st...

  @teriradichel you are doing great. I admire the work you do. If others don’t appreciate that then that is their loss.
