Expleo Group, the global technology, engineering and consulting service provider, has announced that the average large enterprise in Ireland paid €683K in cyber ransoms last year.

Expleo surveyed 200 business and IT decision-makers in Ireland, in enterprises with 250+ employees, as part of its Business Transformation Index 2025 report. The research aims to explore the key challenges facing businesses in 2025, including cybersecurity. It found that 29% of large organisations in Ireland paid at least one cybersecurity ransom in the last 12 months.

The research shows that large enterprises are living in fear of cybercrime, with 24% admitting that they expect to fall victim to an attack in the coming year. Alarmingly, there are also growing fears about state-sponsored attacks, with 63% saying state-sponsored cyberterrorism is more of a risk to their business than it was a year ago.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become ubiquitous in almost every conversation relating to technology. A new report from Microsoft Ireland and Trinity College Dublin Business School reveals that AI Adoption in Northern Ireland (NI) has surged, with 88% of organisations reporting that they are now using AI in some form for work purposes.

Sync NI recently sat down with Kieran McCorry, National Technology Director at Microsoft Ireland to explore how AI has the potential for substantial improvements in productivity, efficiency, and revenue for Northern Ireland.

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears to have only recently embedded itself into the modern consciousness, AI is hardly a new phenomenon given its roots date back to the early days of modern computing in the 1950’s. The concept itself was arguably originated from Alan Turing and Donald Michie’s work at Bletchley Park during the early 40’s on the possibility of building intelligent computer programmes. Turing’s 1950s paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, known today as The Turing Test, explored how to build intelligent machines and test their intelligence.

In an age of escalating digital threats, cyber resilience has long become the responsibility of the boardroom and not of IT. Technology leaders must embed it into every aspect of business strategy to protect operations, customers, and the competitive edge. John Molloy, General Manager, Northern Ireland at Ergo, discusses the importance of cyber resilience and how it isn’t just about being protected, it’s about continuity, governance, and a duty of care when it comes to data.

A New Reality In a whitepaper produced by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Oxford University, cyber resilience is described as ‘an organisation’s ability to minimise the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives.’

Now, in 2025, the line between digital infrastructure and core business operations has all but disappeared. As cyber threats grow in scale, sophistication and frequency, it’s now a fundamental business imperative to be cyber resilience literate.
