As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, local businesses are facing heightened risks to their digital security.

In response to this growing concern, Cloud Carib, a leading provider of managed cloud and cybersecurity services in the Caribbean and Latin America, has deepened its decade-long partnership with global tech giant Cisco to deliver advanced security solutions tailored to the region's specific needs.

The two companies co-hosted a breakfast event in Port of Spain in February, where business leaders gathered to explore strategies for safeguarding digital assets and to raise awareness about the government's cybersecurity investment tax incentive.

M’khel Ferguson, marketing operations manager at Cloud Carib, told Business Day the event reinforced Cloud Carib’s partnership with Cisco and its commitment to delivering managed security solutions.

"This event in TT reinforced our commitment to the region by highlighting how businesses can leverage Cisco’s security suite alongside Cloud Carib’s managed services.

"These solutions provide enhanced threat detection, access controls and compliance support, helping businesses strengthen their security posture while taking advantage of the cybersecurity tax incentive," Ferguson said.

Ferguson emphasized that the partnership is crucial as the company extends its presence in Trinidad and Tobago and across the region.

"Unlike global providers, we combine Cisco’s world-class technology with localised expertise, compliance-driven services and 24/7 regional support, a major differentiator in the market," he said.

"For businesses in TT, these solutions help simplify security management, reduce operational risks and ensure compliance, especially when paired with Cloud Carib’s managed security services."
