Many businesses in Bonaire, Saba, and Statia are insufficiently aware of how to arm themselves against cyber threats.
This makes their business processes and valuable data vulnerable to attacks by cyber criminals.
With the Cyber Resilience subsidy scheme, the Digital Trust Center promotes collaboration in cybersecurity between groups of companies in non-vital sectors.
