In light of recent data breaches at major institutions, Barbados is seeking to ramp up its investment in information and infrastructural cybersecurity to protect national infrastructure.
The announcement comes from Minister of Industry, Innovation, Science and Technology Marsha Caddle who says she hopes this move will feature high among the priorities for this year’s estimates.
Ms. Caddle was speaking during a bazaar for children in the St Michael South Central Constituency where she also indicated that this week she will be meeting with Minister of Finance to go over her Ministry’s estimates of revenue and expenditure.
Ms. Caddle adds that her Ministry will be continuing efforts in the coming financial year to bring all Government services together online in one place, making it easier for citizens to access information.
