About this Event

Join us at FORTIFY – the Bahamas’ first AI Cybersecurity Summit.

Cybercriminals are no longer working alone in the dark. They are using artificial intelligence to craft emails that sound exactly like your CEO. They are scanning thousands of systems simultaneously – finding the one unlocked door in seconds. They are deploying ransomware that learns your network before it strikes.

AI has made every attack faster, cheaper, and more convincing. And the Bahamas – with its financial services sector, government infrastructure, and growing digital economy – is not invisible to these threats. It is a target.


Most organizations are still defending against yesterday’s attacks with yesterday’s tools. FORTIFY exists to change that.

Under the theme “Build Your Digital Fortress. Defend What Matters.”, FORTIFY is a half-day immersive command briefing for the Bahamas’ business and government leadership – combining live threat demonstrations, hands-on challenges, and strategic frameworks designed to confront AI-powered cyber threats head-on.

Hosted by Montino Roberts, Founder and Executive Chairman of Proficient Business Services (PBS), in partnership with Fortinet, Kaseya, and Halcyon, the summit blends urgency with action in a setting built for decision-makers, not spectators.

You won’t just hear about the threats. You will see them. You’ll also attempt to breach a live AI system yourself and leave with a blueprint for your organization’s digital defense – built on the same framework PBS deploys for the Royal Bahamas Police Force and leading financial institutions across the region.


The question is not whether your organization will be targeted. It already has been. The question is whether your fortress will hold.

Who Should Attend
  • Government Officials – Financial Secretaries, Permanent Secretaries, Cybersecurity Regulators, Ministry Heads
  • C-Level Executives – CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, CSOs across financial services and private sector
  • IT & Cybersecurity Leaders – IT Directors, Security Analysts, Incident Response Teams
  • Industry Experts & Innovators – Technology Providers, Risk & Compliance Officers, Cybersecurity Consultants



This is a curated audience of public and private sector leaders with direct authority over cybersecurity decisions and IT investment. Attendance is limited by design.
