Protect online data

Regional Governments have been told to heighten online security measures due to increasing attacks by cyber-criminals. According to the Chief Executive Officer for the Caribbean Cyber Security Centre, James Bynoe, attacks by cyber-criminals will be a major problem for the region due to the increasing skill of hackers and the growing resources available to use in committing cyber-crimes. He said region has made it on the radar of international criminal cyber networks, with two countries being attacked recently. “We have seen attacks within the last two weeks in Barbados, in the Cayman Islands and this is something that we should expect to continue .This is not an issue that can be solved by one  organization or one Government. We just have to get smart and pull together to ensure that Caribbean ICT resources are protected. There is no way to combat this and it’s a very very pressing and clear and present danger to us,” he said
