Background
Digicel Business and Symptai are offering a free dark web scan for businesses across the Caribbean until November 21, 2025. The program helps companies find sensitive data that may already be exposed online and take action before cybercriminals attack.
As more Caribbean countries move to digital tools like e-government, online banking, remote work, and e-learning, cybersecurity risks are increasing. Experts say the region is a target because it lacks enough local experts and strong protection strategies.
On a global level, the average expense of a data breach has reached US$4.88 million, with phishing, system errors, and stolen passwords being the major causes most of the time. Finding risks early helps businesses protect customer trust, keep systems safe, and reduce financial losses.
“Cybersecurity has become an integral part of business strategy,” said Marlon Cooper, CEO of Symptai. “Sustainable growth isn’t possible unless an organisation protects its data.”
Liam Donnelly, Chief Business Officer at Digicel, added, “We are committed to helping organisations stay resilient and protect their operations with world-class security and local expertise.”
Gerardo Rivera Menjivar, General Manager of Digicel Business (T&T) Ltd., highlighted the economic impact: “Just twenty major cyberattacks could redirect nearly US$100 million from innovation to recovery. Cybersecurity is not just a business issue; it’s a national one.”
Through their partnership, Digicel Business and Symptai now offer a comprehensive suite of ICT and cybersecurity services, including 24/7 SOC monitoring, managed firewalls, consultancy, and penetration testing, empowering Caribbean businesses to stay secure in an increasingly digital world.
