The Caribbean Digital Transformation Project – Project Implementation Unit under the Ministry of Public Works, Public Utilities and Digital Economy hosted CSIRTAMERICA Week Dominica from September 24 – 27, 2024.
The purpose of the training is to strengthen Dominica’s cyber capabilities through mentoring and specialized training related to the creation of a National Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) as well as encouraging cooperative dialogue on Cybersecurity.
The training is timely in that the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica is in the process of establishing a Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the Cybersecurity infrastructure in Dominica.
The four-day workshop was supported by the Organization of Americas States (OAS), Forum of the Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), and CSIRT Americas Network Team. The presenters Manuel Pérez Panero, Alejandro Sabolansky from the Organization of the Americas Cyber Security Team, Klee Aikem and Vamen Kini from Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) and CSIRT Americas Network Team covered the following topics:
In his address to the participants during the opening ceremony, Permanent Secretary, Mr. Emile Lancelot highlighted the fact that Due to the increase in these cyber-attacks, and the growing risks in cyberspace, establishing a Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) that can manage coordinated responses, and have a national monitoring role of the state of threats, is necessary. Its establishment will enable Cybersecurity to be addressed and cyber resilience to be developed as a priority practice in all social and economic spheres.
He further went on to state that the user is a contributor towards the risk of cyber-attacks. Ensuring that users are compliant with Cybersecurity requirements to protect information technology systems can be considered as one of the most important strategic objectives that can be implemented within Dominica.
As services, businesses, and personal activities are being migrated online, safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring the security of our digital assets has become a national priority. The establishment of a fully functional CIRT will provide several key benefits, including:
The Government of Dominica remains committed to ensuring that the CIRT is established in line with best international practices. The ongoing training is a vital part of this process while assuring the public that significant progress is being made. The strategies discussed at the training sessions will undoubtedly influence Cybersecurity policies and practices in the Commonwealth of Dominica.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
