leadership imperative.He shared that cyberattacks globally have risen by 47% in the first half of 2025, with the Latin American and Caribbean region experiencing a 108% year-on-year increase, averaging 640 attacks per organization per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd looking at that statistic compared to other regions, the Latin American region, outnumbers the amount of attacks compared to other regions \u2026 So, attacks are increasing. They&#8217;re becoming more sophisticated and complex. And as cyber risk rises to the top of boardroom agendas, the role of leadership has never been more critical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon described the emergence of AI-related threats as the most significant shift in cybersecurity today. \u201cThat for us is the biggest risk. It&#8217;s the biggest change in operation, it&#8217;s also the biggest risk that we see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that many organizations lack the policies and understanding required to effectively manage AI-driven threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton drew attention to human error as a leading cause of cyber incidents, revealing that nearly 20% of attacks are the result of human interaction. \u201cWe&#8217;re the ones that are taking on&nbsp; these ransomware, these phishing attempts,\u201d she said, advocating for the development of a \u201chuman firewall\u201d through staff training and cyber awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building this \u201chuman capital\u201d must start at the top, panelists agreed, emphasizing that executives need to treat cybersecurity with the same seriousness they afford financial records and performance metrics. They called on business leaders to update their outdated systems and processes, saying many organizations have not updated their security protocols in over a decade<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most overlooked risks, the panel said, is the belief among business leaders &#8211; especially in smaller regional companies &#8211; that they are not targets. \u201cSo they overestimate what type of protection they have in their environment&nbsp; with the understanding that I&#8217;m not seeing anything so I should be okay. Wrong,\u201d Gordon asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Christian Benjamin, 99% of breaches occur at a management level. \u201cThey are busy with the volumes of emails they\u2019re getting and they just click on anything. So, it has to start from the top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the panel called for a shift in perception, agreeing that cybersecurity should not be seen as a burden, but as a business enabler and revenue protector. As Hamilton put it, it should be as important as earthquake and fire drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:683\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:683\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:200\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093-scaled.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:512\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1620\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DSC_0093-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div id=\"antig-1448786199\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chamber of Commerce and C&amp;W Business Host Pivotal Cybersecurity Conference The Antigua and Barbuda Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with C&amp;W Business, successfully hosted one of the nation\u2019s most impactful business conferences on Thursday, May 2, 2025, with a sharp focus on the escalating importance of cybersecurity in today\u2019s digital economy.
