Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce Highlights Cybersecurity Awareness at April Networking Event
New Castle, DE – On April 23, 2025, the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce of the Northeast (CACCoNE) hosted its April Monthly Networking Event, focusing on one of the most urgent issues facing individuals and businesses today: cybersecurity.
This eye-opening session was led by Tony Whittock, a trusted Chamber member and Managing Partner of Cybersecurity Consulting Ops. With years of industry expertise and a passion for protecting communities through education, Whittock delivered a dynamic presentation that pulled back the curtain on the real risks of being online in today’s digital world.
Whittock warned attendees that every time you’re on the internet, you are exposed — and so is your data, your identity, and your devices. From phishing emails and data breaches to malicious software and remote takeovers, the threats are real, and the consequences can be devastating.
His presentation covered:
The most common cyber threats affecting individuals and small businesses today
How hackers can easily take over your machine if you’re not protected
Practical tips for safeguarding your online presence, including using strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and regular system updates
The importance of cyber hygiene and staying informed as technology evolves
Attendees were both shocked and grateful for the valuable insights, many of whom shared that they would be taking immediate action to secure their devices, accounts, and business systems. Whittock’s presentation served as a powerful reminder that digital literacy and protection are essential skills in today’s connected world — and that cybersecurity is not just for tech experts, but for everyone.
The Chamber extends its sincere thanks to Tony Whittock for his continued leadership and for equipping our community with tools to protect what matters most. Events like these reflect CACCoNE’s commitment to preparing our members for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
