Minister of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence Dominic Alexander Smith said Trinidad and Tobago needs to operate with a sense of urgency in dealing with all matters of national threat, including cybersecurity. He made the statement in his keynote speech on the first day of the inaugural National Cyberdrill 2025 – an initiative which gives tech students in several universities and operators an opportunity to hone their skills in detecting and isolating cyber threats.
The event, at the UTT campus in Chaguaramas, will run from July 22-23 and will include students from UTT, the University of the West Indies (UWI), the College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts of TT (Costaatt), as well as operators in the public and private sector.
