Caribbean journal published an article about St. Vincent strengthening Cyber Security.

Internet adoption in the Caribbean is growing rapidly and so too are the threats and attacks.

Key points:

• St Vincent and the Grenadines hosted a National cybersecurity symposium.
• the Symposium was held at the Frenches house, Sally Spring, Kingstown with many Eastern Caribbean nations.
• The symposium facilitated talks about Cyber Security issues and was geared towards developing a national approach to Cyber Security.
• These symposiums help to raise national awareness against new cyber threats.
• It is also important that persons from various sectors understand the purpose of knowing how to cope with the issue of Cyber Security.
• In 2018, it was staged to have a two-day symposium with professionals from all over to help highlight the issues in cybersecurity.
• Cyber criminals can affect any borders. So that’s why multiple stakeholders were involved.
