Join us for the Global Encryption Day Webinar on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, starting at 7:00 PM (TT local time)

The Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society (TTCS) invites you to a special collaborative webinar, marking Global Encryption Day! We’re hosting this important discussion in partnership with the Internet Society Trinidad and Tobago Chapter, IEEE Young Professionals TT, and the CTU Caribbean ICT Youth Network.

What is Encryption?

Encryption is a tool or process that makes messages unreadable to others. Encryption transforms your data in code so that only the intended recipient can read it. In other words, it secures your information from unauthorised access.
