In this role, she spearheads initiatives to enhance The Bahamas' cyber resilience; and oversees the development and implementation of the nation's first National Cybersecurity Strategy. Prior to this, she was the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the Central Bank of The Bahamas, where she established the Bank's Information Security Department.Sametria’s contributions to cybersecurity have earned her International recognition, including:The ISSA International President’s Award for Cybersecurity in Public Service (2023); and The ISC2 Senior Professional Award for the Americas Region (2024).It was truly enjoyable and enlightening to witness the effort involved in building a security department and to explore the distinct challenges faced by financial institutions compared to other industries. Sametria is a force of nature, deeply committed to ensure cybersecurity alignment and resilience across the Caribbean. Her focus on action over recognition makes her an unsung hero in this critical field—an admirable and inspiring quality.Topics Covered: ◽️Cybersecurity & Financial Institutions - A Whole Different Level◽️Building a CISO Department within The Central Bank◽️The Bahamas Cultural Ethos Around Cyber Treats◽️The Meaning of Cyber Reef◽️Ministry of Economic Affairs◽️Governmental Spend Allocation Dilemma in Small States◽️Island States Collaboration in Cybersecurity◽️Cybersecurity Investment Balance with Business Innovation Costs◽️Regional Governance & PracticesSo download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co. - Mulled Cider Tea ☕️& have a listen🛋Series Sponsored by ◽️Accxia - 𝔼𝕦𝕣𝕠𝕡𝕖'𝕤 𝕃𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕤𝕥 ℙ𝕣𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕥𝕖 ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝔸𝕥𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕒𝕟Next week's guest announced on LinkedIn every Monday.
