Basseterre, St. Kitts, March 16, 2017 (SKNIS): The Council of Ministers of the Regional Security System (RSS) will meet at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort on Friday (March 16) to review a number of critical matters including extra-regional cooperation, which has implications for training, and security operations to tackle drugs, arms and human trafficking.

Also on the agenda is Cybersecurity, which is a growing threat to the Caribbean region with recent reports of the hacking of Government websites and other criminal actions. The dangers of such were underscored by the President of the Inter-American Development Bank, Luis Alberto Moreno, in a 2016 report entitled “Cybersecurity – Are We Ready in Latin America and the Caribbean?” He wrote “that the vast majority of our countries are not yet prepared to counteract cybercrime.”
