THE importance of protecting Jamaica’s vital infrastructure is reinforced in Fortinet’s 2020 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report.

Layard Terrero, Fortinet systems engineer and director for Central America and the Caribbean, says that Jamaica, like many other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, needs to keep pace with the requirements to protect critical national assets from cybercrimes.

The Fortinet report highlights the critical role of operational technical (OT) leaders at a time when intrusions are on the increase.

“Cyber security continues to be an integral part of their daily work — and that work continues to be a struggle,” the report notes, adding that OT leaders “are highly respected in their organisations, and their teams are vital to their companies’ bottom lines”.
