• Ransomware Risk Extends Across the Region: While larger economies continue to attract significant ransomware activity, smaller Caribbean nations also face meaningful exposure that should not be overlooked.

• Regional Risk Varies by Industry and Geography: Threat activity is concentrated in specific countries and sectors, requiring organizations to evaluate risks based on their operational footprint rather than regional averages.
• Business Disruption Is Becoming a Primary Concern: Cyberattacks increasingly threaten operational continuity, regulatory compliance, customer trust, and organizational reputation in addition to financial losses.
