33. The Caribbean's Technical Debt - Niel Harper
Manage episode 414791946 series 3487287
Where does Caribbean tech infrastructure stand today? Join Cybersecurity expert Neil Harper as we investigate the slowdown in innovation and standards adoption that could further erode the region's competitiveness and digital integrity.
Could 5G benefit the Caribbean? Neil says yes, outlining the surface benefits of the latest in cellular data technologies and how they could provide resilience in a disaster-prone region. 5G offers the opportunity to bolster telecommunications infrastructure with a smaller footprint that is less susceptible to natural phenomena like hurricanes.
What about security? The Caribbean has become a breeding ground for nefarious cyber activity, owing to a failure to adopt more stringent policies to protect its citizen's data. With the digitization of entire industries underway, a more systematic and meaningful approach to how information is handled, both at the business and legislative levels, will be required.
