The Bahamas

The Bahamas National Computer Incident Response Team (CIRT-BS) and the Bahamas Ministry of Economic Affairs joined LAC4 on behalf of the Government of the Bahamas in August 2025.

Cooperation between LAC4 and The Bahamas has focused on strengthening national cybersecurity governance, enhancing cyber resilience and supporting the development of strategic cyber capabilities. A key milestone in this partnership was the National Cybersecurity Risk Assessment, conducted in 2026 to support the development of a more comprehensive national cybersecurity framework. In addition, Bahamian representatives regularly participate in LAC4’s regional trainings, workshops and policy dialogues, contributing to knowledge exchange and closer cooperation across the Caribbean.  

The National Computer Incident Response Team of The Bahamas (CIRT-BS) is the government-mandated focal point for cybersecurity, established in 2023 to protect national infrastructure. It provides both proactive and reactive services to the public and private sectors, including incident response, vulnerability management, and cybersecurity awareness. Through its work, CIRT-BS plays a key role in strengthening national cyber resilience and safeguarding critical systems.
