Barbados — Cyber Threat Profile
Barbados maintains a developing cybersecurity posture aligned with its digitally enabled financial services and tourism sectors. National priorities include safeguarding online banking systems, protecting citizen data, and ensuring continuity of government e-services. Limited domestic cyber workforce capacity necessitates reliance on regional partnerships and external security providers. Threat activity is primarily financially motivated, including phishing, fraud, and ransomware campaigns. Government-led digital modernization strategies, combined with Caribbean regional cyber cooperation frameworks, are strengthening regulatory oversight, incident response mechanisms, and public sector cyber governance.- Data protection authority: Baobab Tower, Highway 2, Barbade (source: CNIL)
