Cloud Carib focuses on improved cybersecurity through new partnership

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Bahamas-based tech company Cloud Carib has partnered with the Global NextGen SIEM Platform to enhance its cybersecurity capabilities.

“The new partnership, which is the only one of its kind in the region, will arm [its] clients with the ability to detect, respond to and neutralize potentially devastating cyber threats while freeing up time and other resources to focus on productivity and growth,” the company explained in a statement.

The statement noted: “Now more than ever, companies across the globe rely on technology to start, grow and protect their businesses. In this new age of cyber warfare, securing sensitive company and client data has emerged as a top priority, no matter an organization’s size or scope of work.

“As a thought leader in the region, Cloud Carib has focused its efforts on providing first-class protections to its client base. The goal, to increase cybersecurity awareness and improve The Bahamas’ standing in the global cybersecurity market.”

It added, “The upgraded status allows [the company] to offer LogRhythm as an enterprise SIEM technology to support the existing managed security services currently offered. Coupled with the company’s 24x7x365 Command and Control Centre, [it is] hoping to raise the bar and increase the nation’s standings in the region.”

Cloud Carib CEO Scott MacKenzie praised the partnership as “a significant investment of time and resources and a huge accomplishment for the team”.

“No other managed service provider (MSP) in the region has this designation,” he said. “This is proof of our commitment to providing our clients with best-in-class services and technology and we’re very pleased to have secured such a great global partner.”

Stelios Xeroudakis, Cloud Carib founder and CTO, added: “This partnership essentially takes the investigative work out of tracking a company’s growth patterns or monitoring for threats. Our partners and clients now have an additional support system which fits seamlessly into their current managed services systems while offering extras like log management, network monitoring, forensics and critical security analytics which can be used to implement proactive security measures.”

The company’s statement continued, “For companies, partnerships like these are crucial to elevating the region. It’s through constant improvement, monitoring and prevention that cyber-attacks are mitigated and left to the experts. With improved security solutions and greater peace of mind, companies can then focus on other aspects of productivity in their respective organizations.”

Op-Ed: Brave ‘Papa Tax’ Davis and his mid-year budget

In February 2015, the Registrar General Department entered into a contractual agreement with VRC, formerly known as Sunshine Shredder, to digitize its company files as part of a long-overdue transition from paper-based records to a modern, paperless system. The initial cost of the contract was a staggering $89,000 for the first month, followed by an ongoing monthly fee of $85,000. Notably, the agreement lacked a clearly defined project timeline or end date, raising immediate concerns about fiscal oversight and accountability. Tragically, while scanning commenced, the project quickly revealed an alarming absence of quality control and verification protocols. The digitization process, meant to enhance access, accuracy, and operational efficiency, was executed with such poor foresight that the resulting digital records are effectively unusable by the Company Section. The core issue lies in the contract specifications. VRC was commissioned to scan and input data into only three (3) fields, despite the operational requirement being six (6) fields for full functionality within the Department’s systems. This fundamental oversight rendered the digitized records incomplete and incompatible with current needs. Attempts to rectify this monumental error have proven financially unviable. Discussions to incorporate the additional fields revealed that doing so would triple the cost an egregious escalation with no guarantee of improved results. To make matters worse, in 2024, when the Registrar General’s office relocated to a new building, the internal scanning unit comprising trained staff who could have potentially salvaged or improved the process was dismantled. These personnel were reassigned to other departments, effectively dissolving any in-house capacity for quality control or intervention. This sequence of decisions paints a troubling picture of systemic mismanagement, questionable contractual negotiations, and a lack of strategic vision. The public deserves transparency, and those responsible for this financial and operational fiasco must be held to account. A project intended to usher in digital transformation has instead become a cautionary tale of waste and ineptitude at the expense of taxpayers and national record integrity.
