THE Saint Lucia Coalition of Service Industries (SLCSI), in collaboration with the Saint Lucia Information Communication Technology (ICT) Association, will be hosting a capacity building exercise on Cyber Security for ICT professionals and users of ICT.
The conference will be held today under the theme “Cyber Security and its Importance to National Development” at the Palmville Meeting Room of the Coco Palm Resorts in Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The objective is to increase awareness of cyber security in St Lucia by sensitizing key influencers in the public and private sectors on the need to address cyber security as an issue of national importance.
The programme is designed to provide a forum for discussions on solutions to security concerns among ICT professionals and users of ICT, as well as an opportunity for participants to network with industry leaders.
A high-level workshop will be held for stakeholders in the business community, public sector, ICT and legal practitioners, and other interested members of the public. It will demonstrate the relevance of cyber security to the effective functioning of business and government operations, as well as the day-to-day life of citizens. This will take the form of a panel discussion involving presentations by industry leaders on different perspectives (financial, legal, etc.) on cyber security and its relevance in St Lucia’s context.
