AS Guyana embraces digital advancements, the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) has organised several training sessions to raise awareness about cybersecurity. A notable event took place at the Ministry of Labour on February 14, 2025, where 25 staff members underwent a comprehensive one-day Cybersecurity Awareness Training, equipping them to combat cybersecurity threats and uphold best practices in data protection and IT security.
The training session, held in the ministry’s boardroom, aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of cybersecurity and equip them with essential skills to safeguard government networks against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This initiative is part of the government’s broader efforts to foster a culture of cybersecurity awareness among its workforce.

Participants benefitted from expert-led presentations and interactive workshops covering critical topics such as cyber-threat detection, prevention strategies, and risk-assessment methodologies. The Ministry of Labour reported that the sessions provided practical insights into the latest policies and tools necessary for securing vital digital assets.

The ministry remains committed to strengthening its cybersecurity framework and ensuring that staff members are well equipped to address evolving digital security challenges. In addition to this training, the NDMA has been actively engaged in several hinterland communities, conducting Cybersecurity and e-Services training to empower residents.

With increased access to reliable internet and enhanced skills to navigate the digital landscape confidently, residents of these communities are now better equipped to engage with on-line government services, on-line learning, and economic opportunities. The NDMA emphasises its commitment to ensuring that no community is excluded, as Guyana moves towards a more connected and digitally empowered future.

As the nation continues its digital transformation, initiatives such as these highlight the importance of cybersecurity awareness and preparedness in protecting government infrastructure and services.
