CISO Inspired Magazine Aug 2024

Welcome to the latest issue of CIO Inspired, where we bring together the voices shaping Ireland's technology landscape. In this edition, we sit down with Chris Halbard, Group CEO of Nasstar, to explore what it really takes to grow a business through connectivity, cloud, data and engineering, and why he believes most AI transformations succeed or fail not on the strength of the technology, but on the people behind it. Elsewhere, leaders from Vodafone Ireland, Kingspan Light + Air, FoodHub and beyond share hard-won perspectives on rethinking the enterprise, building high-performing IT and OT teams, and moving past the algorithm to put people back at the centre of project management. Whether you're navigating your own transformation journey or simply looking for fresh thinking from peers across the region, this issue is packed with the kind of candid, practical insight that only comes from people who've been in the room where it happens.

Welcome to the September 2026 issue of CISO Magazine Ireland. This edition centres on how Ireland's cybersecurity leaders are navigating a landscape reshaped by AI, from agentic systems and alert overload to privacy-by-design and OT resilience. Our cover feature, "Women Are Securing Tomorrow," sits down with Christabel Ebrill, Partnership Lead at Women4Cyber Ireland, on why diverse thinking is essential to solving the sector's hardest problems. Alongside her, voices from Organon Pharmaceuticals, Iarnród Éireann, the Irish Wheelchair Association and beyond share hard-won lessons on privacy and AI, incident response in critical infrastructure, and balancing innovation with risk. As always, it's a collection built on real conversations between the people shaping cybersecurity in Ireland today.
