Brava Guyana recently brought together more than 40 (forty) public sector ICT managers, corporate professionals and key decision makers for a two-day National Cybersecurity and ICT workshop to explore and shape the future of the country’s digital transformation.
The two-day event held at Brava’s corporate office at the Pegasus Suites, provided a forum for open dialogue on Guyana’s national digitisation strategy, as Brava positions itself as the key ICT stakeholder supporting the Government’s transformation journey by providing a robust suite of solutions; at a time when cybersecurity threats are rising.
“As Guyana accelerates into the digital age, we cannot treat cybersecurity and cloud adoption as optional. They are the foundation of how public service organisations operate, how we protect national data, also how we build trust within corporate Guyana” said Hilton Wong, General Manager of Brava Guyana.
During the workshop, participants were advised that their key priorities for 2026 and beyond should include: strengthening cybersecurity, establishing consistent data governance habits, modernising systems and deepening understanding of cloud and sovereign cloud models.
These priorities reflect concerns raised during the sessions where participants described real operational challenges that can open pathways for phishing, impersonation and data leaks; and they sought clearer guidance on how to manage cybersecurity risks, internal data practices and emerging cloud environments.
Wong added, “Our goal is to help organisations build habits and systems that are sustainable. This is not about fear. It is about clarity, maturity and strengthening Guyana’s digital future.”
Daniel Legall, Head of Stronghold & Strategic Solutions Sales at Brava, cautioned participants, “People are often the weakest link when it comes to cybersecurity. Therefore, we urge organisations to adopt stronger data governance frameworks, conduct regular system audits, enforce tiered authentication, and invest in ongoing staff training. These steps can dramatically reduce preventable incidents.”
A representative from Brava’s cloud-partner Cloud Carib, Mark Arruda, (VP, Solutions), outlined the importance of sovereign-cloud solutions that allow national data to remain under local governance. “With data sovereignty skills and secure infrastructure, we give institutions confidence that sensitive government information stays within Guyana’s jurisdiction without compromising access or performance,” Arruda said.
The Brava/Cloud Carib team emphasised that as Guyana’s digital footprint expands, with more public sector services migrating online, practical education in cloud readiness, data governance and cybersecurity is no longer optional, but essential.
Brava reiterated its commitment to supporting public and private sector teams by offering guidance and scalable ICT solutions that help build sustainable, secure systems, while helping to strengthen public trust in national digital infrastructure.
