Prime Minister Mark Phillips has adverted to some countries using cyber capabilities to destabilise others and has underlined the need for regional collaboration to confront such threats.
A release from his office said that during Thursday’s opening ceremony of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS) training session, he pointed to recent ransomware attacks and other cyber incidents which have impacted Guyana and its neighbouring countries.
He highlighted the transnational nature of cyber threats, often originating from obscure sources, making regional coordination a necessity and cautioned that certain countries have begun to exploit cyber capabilities to destabilise other nations.
