How to Join
Membership is open to all companies and organisations (not individuals) which are deemed to provide cyber security products and/or services, or play an important role in Ireland’s cyber security sector, including government agencies and knowledge providers. The list of Cyber Security Operations is listed in our Membership Brochure.
Organisations must have operations, or be registered, in Ireland.
Our Membership Year runs from 1st June to 31st May, regardless of the month your membership is formalised and there is no pro rata rate.
The annual membership subscription is based on an organisation’s membership category and employment. Employment is based on the company’s global headcount, not just in Ireland, and on it’s overall operations, not just cyber security operations.
New members must complete a membership application form. Once received, we will review the submission to ensure all membership criteria are met. Suitable organisations are invited to a membership meeting. Following this meeting, the application will be assessed by the Membership Subcommittee and then submitted to the Cluster Advisory Board for final approval. The applicant will be informed of the outcome thereafter.
