“Our
partnership with the Global Cyber Alliance is part of our commitment to provide
our customers with the best internet experience in the country and create a
positive impact on our community. Caricel seeks to provide quality service with
the added peace of mind that we are doing everything we can to protect our
customer from harm,"
Director and CEO of
Caricel, Lowell Lawrence, commenting on his company joining the GCA (Global
Cyber Alliance)
Caricel
is showing that they're interested in their customer’s welfare in a world of
increasing cyberattacks!
They've
now joined the GCA (Global Cyber Alliance) as reported in the article “Caricel
Joins Global Cyber Alliance”, published Dec 12, 2016 by Caricel.
Caricel certainly isn't making a little thing like a telecom license held them back as noted in my blog article entitled “Symbiote Investments Limited gets DMSL License for Caricel as 5G coming in 2020”.
The
GCA is basically an international watchdog that seeks an alliance with Telecom
providers in the ongoing fight by government, businesses and individuals to
protect their servers against cyber attacks.
So
Caricel is more than welcomed as this shows they're in it for the people and
it's not all about the Benjamins, to quote Philip Reitinger, President and CEO
of GCA: “I am extremely pleased to welcome Caricel as a Global Cyber Alliance
partner. GCA applauds Caricel's efforts
to provide a more secure Internet experience for the citizens and businesses of
Jamaica. We look forward to working with Caricel and our other partners to
enhance wireless security in the Caribbean, using GCA's projects to help
protect Caricel's customers and Caricel's capabilities and contributions to
make the Internet safer for everyone”.
He
even gave Caricel a shout-out on Twitter!
I applaud @CaricelJamaica's efforts to provide a more secure Internet experience in #Jamaica @GlobalCyberAlln https://t.co/orKXrcwzdX— Philip Reitinger (@CarpeDiemCyber) December 13, 2016
The
GCA is a 501(c)3 organization that was founded in September 2015 by the
Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the City of London Police and the Center
for Internet Security. Threats such as phishing, malware, spyware and other
threats continue to rise, as these faster networks make life super easy for
hackers to gain access to data stored on EU (End User) devices such as Laptops,
Computers, Tablets and smartphone as well as in company servers.
Not
to mention some telecom equiptment makers such as Huawei, ZTE and BLU
harvesting our personal information for the Secret Service as well as to guess
what we want more accurately as pointed out in my Geezam
blog article entitled “How
700 million Chinese Phones with Adups firmware can Spy on You”.
GCS'
mantra of “Do Something. Measure it” is made possible thanks to international
collaboration between telecom providers, bringing together communities of
interest and affiliations together to research and environment concrete,
measureable solutions.
Caricel,
currently Jamaica's only superfast LTE broadband network, has already tolled
out their modem offering for 2017 as explained in my Geezam blog article entitled “Caricel’s Unlimited Modems
implies FLOW and Digicel going Unlimited in 2017”.
By
joining the GCA alliance, they're guaranteeing that their customers are in safe
hands.
