The National Data Management Authority (NDMA) is currently engaged in an initiative aimed at enhancing the protection of government data and systems and in keeping with this effort, hosted a critical cybersecurity training session for public sector employees in Region Six.
According to a release from the NDMA, the session was attended by representatives of several public sector agencies including the Guyana Police Force, Guyana Prison Service, Guyana Revenue Authority, and the High Court. It equipped them with knowledge of cybersecurity best practices and practical skills for detecting and responding to cyber threats. In addition, the participants gained valuable insights on safeguarding sensitive information, identifying potential risks, and taking decisive actions, to strengthen the cybersecurity posture within their respective organisations. They were also introduced to techniques for recognising potential threats, such as phishing attempts and malware infections, and were guided on appropriate measures to mitigate these risks.
