The EU is considering introducing private experts to detect cyber-crime.
The move is intended to create an EU-wide defence against attacks.
MEP for Ireland South, Seán Kelly is supporting the measure:
"The proposed Cyber Security Emergency Reserve would follow Ukraine's approach, to engage in advance, certified and trusted private service providers to intervene at the application of any member state, requesting solidarity in the face of an attack. The goal is to strengthen Europe's collective resilience against cyber threats".
