The world is currently making steps forward on the digital transformation journey. And organizations across industries are rapidly transforming and adopting new-age technologies to fuel their business operations demand.
However, this surging adoption has also led security concerns over privacy and protection of data, creating an attack surface for malicious actors.
For businesses in the Caribbean, both large and small, Covid-19 has expedited their digital transformation efforts at an almost unimaginable speed.
In an effort to survive and get back to business safely, these businesses, have begun to rapidly adopt services such as contactless payment, click-and-collect applications, e-commerce websites and enhanced customer relationship management as avenues to pivot their service delivery options.
