Cloud Carib becomes first Caribbean Company to join VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative


“We’re extremely proud to be the first Caribbean company to join the Sovereign Cloud Initiative and are committed to helping Digital Transformation Initiatives realize sovereignty for the protection of the communities we serve.”

A leading provider of cloud services in the Caribbean and Latin America, Cloud Carib now joins the VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative, helping clients better protect national sovereignty within its region of operation. The tech firm headquartered in Nassau, The Bahamas, made the formal announcement after recently attending VMware Explore 2022 Europe conference in Barcelona, formerly VMworld.

Today, 100+ countries have their own laws governing how data should be managed and stored within their sovereign borders, and most of these regulations are constantly changing. Cloud Carib, as a VMware Sovereign Cloud provider, meets the significant capabilities in delivering more secure and compliant cloud services to government organizations, those in the public sector and any client with data residency requirements or concerns.

“We’re extremely proud to be the first Caribbean company to join the Sovereign Cloud Initiative and are committed to helping Digital Transformation Initiatives realize sovereignty for the protection of the communities we serve. We’re dedicated to bringing sovereign cloud services to our clients, advancing the region’s data protection and sovereignty commitments, and supporting nations as they modernize and protect their data within their borders,” remarked Stelios Xeroudakis, Cloud Carib’s Founder and Chief Technology Officer.

The VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative helps customers engage with trusted national cloud service providers to meet geo-specific requirements around data sovereignty and jurisdictional control; data access and integrity; data security and compliance; data independence and mobility; and data analytics and innovation.

“There is no data sovereignty without cloud sovereignty. And sovereignty does not have to come at the expense of cloud innovation,” said Rajeev Bhardwaj, Vice President, Cloud Provider Platform Solutions, VMware. “VMware Sovereign Cloud providers such as Cloud Carib can help customers innovate and drive digital transformation while reducing the risk of unlocking the value of data.”

New research conducted by Vanson Bourne[1] commissioned by VMware reveals that over the next two years, 96% of all companies surveyed believe data will be a source of revenue, and 50% believe it will be a significant revenue source. As economic uncertainty intensifies, it is not surprising that more business leaders are zeroing in on their data as an untapped revenue source. Yet the downside is just as big: respondents identified data sovereignty as one of the key challenges facing organizations, with 95% admitting it is a concern. Organizations that fail to comply with data sovereignty regulations often must pay fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars and suffer damage to brand reputation because of data compromise.

“The first jurisdiction to benefit from this rollout is our home base in The Bahamas. Joining the Sovereign Cloud initiative amplifies our decade-long commitment to this region,” said Cloud Carib CEO Scott MacKenzie. “So, this really is just the beginning as we aim to further that commitment by offering Sovereign Cloud to each country in the region as regulations evolve and security demands increase.”

About Cloud Carib

Cloud Carib is the region’s premier provider of managed cloud services founded upon the principles of delivering quality, agility, and value for every client. Solutions range from complex bespoke dedicated private cloud offerings to hybrid cloud services. Every solution provides clients with controlled costs, unrivalled levels of service, and unparalleled levels of data protection and privacy – when and where privacy matters.

Prestige Ransomware Attack Highlights Need to Update Cyber Security


Prestige Ransomware Attack

Recent ransomware attacks such as this Prestige attack serve as an indicator of ransomware trends and a reminder of the need for improved security.

A NYC area cyber security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) examines recent ransomware attacks in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article highlights the Russian Prestige attack as well as attacks on Nvidia, AirAsia and CommonSpirit Health.

The author then cites increasingly sophisticated methods, and a focus on healthcare and infrastructure, among other patterns that have emerged. He continues by urging best practices for credentials, including least privilege and zero trust policies. He concludes the article by encouraging the proper configuration of security tools.

“Recent ransomware attacks such as this Prestige attack serve as an indicator of ransomware trends and a reminder of the need for improved security,” stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies.”

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Prestige Ransomware Attack Highlights Need to Update Cyber Security.”

Recent Ransomware Attacks Suggest Cybercrime Patterns

“Prestige – The Prestige attack mentioned above presents an example of a state-sponsored cyber-attack. In this case, Russia launched a targeted attack as an apparent warfare tactic focused on disrupting infrastructure. We have seen numerous such attacks around the world in recent years.”

“Nvidia – Early in 2022 a ransomware attack hit Nvidia, the world’s biggest semiconductor chip manufacturer. While Nvidia responded quickly to the attack, the event highlights the fact that even companies with strong security experience attacks.”

Credential Hygiene is Critical

“To guard against compromise of privileged accounts, organizations need to implement several best practices for credentials. For instance, the principle of least privilege mandates that users should be granted the minimum amount of access necessary. Tools like Microsoft Entra provide the analytics necessary to ensure that users do not have excessive or unused permissions.”

Configure Security Tools Properly

“Microsoft offers a suite of security tools in the Microsoft Defender family of products. Even small businesses can take advantage of enterprise-grade endpoint protection by deploying Microsoft Defender for Business. These tools and others can play a critical role in reducing the risk of ransomware and other cyber-attacks.”

Cyber Security Investment Delivers Results

Improving an organization’s cyber security posture requires an investment. However, companies that invest the time and resources required see important returns in mitigating the risk of a successful attack.

The cyber security consultants at eMazzanti Technologies offer the expertise necessary to ensure that business leaders deploy the security resources they need. They help to choose and configure security tools, including access management, email protection, data encryption and continuous network monitoring.
