Jamaicans Urged to Take Cyber Security Seriously

With the soon-to-be gazetted Data Protection Act, one local tech company is imploring Jamaicans to protect themselves from the millions of daily threats globally. The warning comes as companies will soon face major consequences for failure to protect customers’ sensitive data amid continued data breaches.

Local tech provider, the Optimity Group is hoping to help with that change, breaking down the new laws and customizing cyber security plans for locals and foreigners alike. CEO, Mario Sparkes explains when the act comes into play, the information commissioner will have much power to ensure sensitive personal and customer data is protected online. Something he assures his latest company, the purple team spanning online compliance and protection roles is equipped to handle. CVM TV will continue to track this development, looking at why many Jamaicans and local businesses are still not buying into the idea of data protection. Watch the report for more:
