But one of the real priorities is to engage the public - specifically regular folks. The symposium runs for four days and tomorrow, there's a public forum. Wooding says he wants you to come out:...
Bevil Wooding, Executive Director, CaribNOG
"So today you are seeing suits and ties and people from different dimensions of society, but once we get into tomorrow's agenda where we break into specific forum, there is opportunity for the so called man on the street, the common member of society to come and sitdown and asks the questions that cannot be asked in any other forum. What does this mean for me? Not in technical terms, in practical terms. I have a child who I am concerned about in terms of how they use the internet. I have devices that I have brought into my home and I want to know how to secure it. I have these concerns and I want to understand how I can address it. Those are all parts of the structure of this week."
"What we are hoping to do and what we are intending to do is to literally send one message to the entire society and that message is cybersecurity is a real concern. Be afraid, be very afraid, but then be prepared, be aware, be informed, be educated."
You can also watch a livestream of the event - and you can find a link to that at 7newsbelize.com.
