A key stakeholder consultation on the development of a National Cybersecurity Strategy was held yesterday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre and led by two Programme Officers attach-ed to the Organisation of American States (OAS) Cybersecurity Programme.

According to a Ministry of Public Telecommunication release, the one-day event was intended to create awareness in the private business community and the public service and to encourage their participation. The two strategists were in Guyana to lend their expertise to the development of a National Cybersecurity Strategy.

According to the OAS team leader, Cybersecurity Specialist Kerry-Ann Barrett, Guyana is now among the 30 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean which are benefitting from the expertise resident in the OAS.
