As per usual, we have an interesting mix of ICT-related topics that are relevant to the Caribbean region: leveraging technology; and cybersecurity, which seemed to have emerged either from the direct experiences of our guest panellists, and\/or observations they have made based on the circles in which the they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging technology and cybersecurity are not new topics to the Podcast. Last week\u2019s episode was another instalment of our Expert insights series on cybersecurity, and business and technology are regular subjects in our Community Chats. But this month, the angle from which our guests wish to tackle the topics they submitted seems new. However, before we jump into the discussion, allow us to introduce our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing our guests and their topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"160044\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ict-pulse.com\/2021\/08\/ictp-169-capitalising-on-the-real-opportunities-of-the-technology-revolution-and-navigating-cybersecurity-risks-in-social-media\/genelle-lake-g-lake-cropped\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?fit=1333%2C1317&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1333,1317\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Genelle Lake (G Lake) cropped\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Genelle Lake&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?fit=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?fit=1024%2C1012&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fgd.dfv.mybluehost.me\/.website_c81a1e61\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped-1024x1012.jpg?resize=300%2C296&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-160044\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?resize=1024%2C1012&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?resize=300%2C296&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?resize=768%2C759&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?resize=1080%2C1067&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ict-pulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Genelle-Lake-G-Lake-cropped.jpg?w=1333&amp;ssl=1 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Genelle Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/genellelake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genelle Lake<\/a><\/strong> is an Information Security Analyst at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB).

With over 15 years of experience in the Information Technology industry, his profession spans ICT solutions development, research and advisory, business process reengineering, digital transformation consultation, IT Strategy, governance and quality assurance. After a brief stint as a teacher and in paid employment, Chad started his entrepreneurship journey by establishing Sonover Inc, a Grenada based software company that partners with organisations regionally and Internationally to facilitate their planning, design, development and implementation of digital transformation initiatives. Thereafter, he established Qualishore a Business Process Outsourcing provider that emphasises the use of technology in its offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a tech business owner, Chad is acutely aware of how technology is being leveraged in the public and private sector. Frequently, the emphasis still tends to be on infrastructure and devices, and not so much on the opportunities. Hence Chad\u2019s topic was <strong><em>Is the Caribbean taking full advantage of the real opportunities presented by the technology revolution?<\/em><\/strong>, since to a considerable degree, there does not yet appear to be the mind shift across Caribbean societies on identifying and leveraging those opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>We would love to hear from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do leave us a comment either here beneath this article, or on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ICTPulse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ict-pulse-consulting-limited\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>LinkedIn<\/strong><\/a> pages, or via Twitter, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICTPulse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>@ICTPulse<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are links to some of the organisations and resources that either were mentioned during the episode, or otherwise, might be useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/genellelake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genelle Lake<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/chadtfraser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chad Fraser<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eccb-centralbank.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/sonover.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sonover Inc.<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qualishore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qualishore<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/premium\/products\/?intentType=FIND_LEADS&amp;upsellOrderOrigin=guest_login_sales_nav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn Sales Navigator<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image credits:  G Lake;
