SATT meets Cyber Security Incident Reporting Team

The Supermarket Association of Trinidad and Tobago (SATT) has met with the Cyber Security Incident Reporting Team of Trinidad and Tobago (TTCSIRT) to discuss the recent incident of cyberattacks within the industry and discuss the ramifications for the future.

Present with the SATT team were expert panellists from TTCSIRT Anish Bachu and Vivek Ramcharitar. Joining the panel team were Revan Teelucksingh, Director Laresa Technologies Solutions Limited, and Kyron Leopold, resident SATT IT management consultant. 

The virtual conference, which was attended by over 50 persons, discussed several strategies for dealing with the matrix of threats from cyberattacks in both traditional and novel means.

The panel noted that the evolving sphere of cybersecurity posed difficult challenges which need to be addressed in the wake of increasingly sophisticated attacks.

The presentation laid out by the visiting experts from the Ministry of National Security detailed an overview of how these attacks originate, what measures of security are critical as well as their own response machinery to these cyberattacks.

Today’s session is intended to be the first of many interactions between the SATT and the TT-CSIRT.

"It was a pivotal moment in the relationship between both entities and the supermarket industry as a whole. The engaging dialogue between members of the SATT and TT-CSIRT laid a promising foundation for the implementation of appropriate cyber security controls within the sector. The panel was excited to assess the genuine interest from the membership in their engagement."

Both parties agreed to meet soon as the sector works toward improving its cyber security posture.
