CyberEYE is Committed to protecting & empowering the Youths of Today & the Future Leaders of Tomorrow
%
There was a 400% increase in cybercrimes against children between 2019 and 2020
Globally, children and teenagers are the target of various types of cybercrime.
The Caribbean region is not exempt.
Incidents of phishing, identity theft, cyberbullying, revenge porn, online pedophilia cyber-exploitation and cyber stalking are just some of the exposures faced by our youth.
CyberEYE’s commitment goes beyond our desire to have a successful and sustainable business model.
When the company was formed, we committed to servant leadership and impactful corporate social responsibility. In that light, we have elected to focus on an outreach program at the primary and secondary school levels in T&T, with the intention to eventually expand the initiative across the region.
The “CrossWalk” initiative plays on the concept of pedestrian/zebra crossings being a safe space to traverse in areas where there will always be risk.
CyberEYE’s intent is to contribute to creating safe spaces for children and teenagers to navigate cyberspace despite the risks that continue to be ever present.
We aim to do so by having a suite of offerings that this demographic can draw from to reduce their cyber-related exposures.

information regarding cyber-related terms, risks and actions to keep
them safe.

knowledge base on the topic of cybersecurity.

pique their interest in being more “cyber aware”.
