About Us

The Cyber Safety Project focuses on the lack of tailored, accessible support for Irish citizens to navigate the online world safely. We are dedicated to equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the digital world.

Our mission is to provide accessible cybersecurity resources and guidance tailored to the unique needs of individuals who are becoming more familiar with technology. Through our educational resources and support, we aim to reduce vulnerability to online threats, fostering confidence in exploring the internet while safeguarding personal information.

What we do

Cyber Safety is part of the National Challenge Fund, established under the government’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), funded by the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. The fund is coordinated by Research Ireland.

The project combines education, research, and local support to bridge the digital divide and create a more cyber safe Ireland.

From training Cyber Safety Champions in libraries and schools, to designing interactive e-learning courses, workshops, and easy-read resources, we empower people of all ages and abilities to protect themselves and others online, to build a culture of digital safety and confidence.

“The Cybersafety team delivered an outstanding workshop on cyber crime and online safety for our team.

Their expertise was clear throughout, as they effectively covered a wide range of topics—from identifying different types of scams to the practical steps one can take if they have been a victim of a scam.

The session was highly informative and engaging and interactive, making complex information accessible and memorable.”

– The Volunteer Coordinator of the Crime Victims Helpline

“Your cyber information and resources effectively address online safety and cyber security issues. 

Your work and the attached resources and training program are excellent.

Cybersecurity is an ongoing issue of concern for both individuals and business alike, and the threat landscape more complex and sophisticated, as Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve at pace.”
