Cybersecurity in the Caribbean: Building Trust, Resilience and Digital Confidence
As Caribbean businesses rapidly adopt digital technologies like AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, cybersecurity has become a strategic priority. Organizations face growing threats, including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches, which can impact both operations and customer trust. Grant Thornton emphasizes a holistic approach that combines governance, privacy, technology, and human insight. Key practices for cyber-resilient organizations include understanding technology limits, establishing clear governance, embedding privacy and data protection, investing in employee training, and maintaining a tested incident response plan. Strengthening cybersecurity not only safeguards individual businesses but also reinforces regional economic resilience, trust, and sustainable growth in the Caribbean’s interconnected digital landscape.
