Guardsman Group Limited has launched its new Cyber Secure Operations Centre, SOC, in Kingston, which Group Director of Finance Neil Robinson says was outfitted at a cost of just under US$2 million.
“We invested that amount in getting all of the equipment to include everything. We had to hire people, train those persons. The software technology that we have behind this cybercentre, we had to invest in that also,” Robinson said.
Speaking at the opening of the facility on Wednesday, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness said the investment by Guardsman, one of Jamaica’s largest private security companies, has taken the physical security guard into the cyber realm.
“This new security operating centre represents a bold and necessary step in safeguarding our digital future,” said PM Holness.
“It is a clear demonstration that the Caribbean can be not only consumers of global technology, but also creators of cutting-edge security infrastructure tailored to our regional realities,” he said.
