Cyber threats continue to rise across Ireland, with businesses of all sizes facing increasing pressure to strengthen their digital defences and internal capability.
To support employers in addressing this challenge, FIT is partnering with the RDI Hub in Killorglin, Co. Kerry, to host a Lunch & Learn: Building Internal Cyber Capability on Thursday, 23rd April 2026.
This event brings together industry expertise, practical hiring insights, and exclusive access to emerging tech talent – all designed to help businesses take the next step in developing their cyber capability.
