July 22, 2018

The Minister of National Security Wayne Caines said he had a “productive and instructive meeting” late last week with members of the Department of Information and Digital Technologies [IDT].

The meeting, which took place at the Department’s Southside location, saw members of staff convene for a strategic planning session to discuss the way forward for the department and Government’s Information Technology [IT], infrastructure and cyber security strategy.

Minister Caines said, “We have indicated that we intend to be an innovative, creative and forward-thinking Government. Over the last year, the public has seen the strides we’ve made and the success we’ve had in the area of FinTech.

“So, last week’s meeting with IDT is a natural part of our work and progress. I was honoured to participate in a such a successful strategic planning session with this Government department, which will help to shape the future of IT for the Bermuda Government. Last week’s engagement with the subject matter experts and innovative minds will help us achieve that goal.”

Minister Caines, Acting Director of IDT Shawn Lightbourne and members of the IDT staff conducted an IT strategy session last week.
