A Saint Lucian cybersecurity professional has been selected to participate in a prestigious United States leadership exchange programme focused on cybersecurity innovation and policy.
The US Embassy in Bridgetown announced on Tuesday that Talisha Son has been selected for the International Visitor Leadership Programme (IVLP), the flagship professional exchange programme of the US Department of State.
Son will participate in a multi-regional project titled Advancing Cybersecurity Innovation and Policy. The programme, administered by the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, brings together international professionals to examine issues at the intersection of cybersecurity, innovation and public policy.
According to the embassy, the project will explore the roles of public and private sector stakeholders in advancing cybersecurity innovation, review United States approaches to cybercrime legislation and policy, including responses to ransomware, and examine mechanisms that support individuals and organisations affected by cyber incidents.
Participants will also review international cooperation frameworks and global agreements designed to strengthen collaboration on cybersecurity issues.
Son currently serves as a Digital Forensic Examiner with the Regional Security System, where she provides technical and investigative support across multiple jurisdictions.
In her role, she assists eight RSS member states with the identification, preservation and analysis of digital evidence.
The US Embassy said her selection reflects an ongoing commitment to professional development and the responsible use of technology in support of public safety.
The embassy also congratulated Son on her selection and expressed confidence in her continued contribution to cybersecurity and regional collaboration in the Caribbean.
