The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the DICT Cybersecurity Bureau finally hit their stride during the ongoing Cybersecurity Month 2023.
They concluded their latest weekly event centered on two key pillars of the digital revolution: digital transformation through cybersecurity and the future of fintech with digital lending.
Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian smart cities market is expected to reach $236.7 billion by 2030, and there is a growing need to protect and secure them - along with other critical industries including energy, insurance, health, and logistics. "Our event today is dedicated to exploring the vital role of cybersecurity in safeguarding these sectors, which are the lifeblood of our modern society," said Villamorel."We will delve into the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, innovative solutions, and best practices that protect our digital infrastructure, ensure our data privacy, and foster trust in the digital era."
Small and Medium Enterprises are already a regular fixture in the Philippine economy. The further development of technology that will help them, such as data-driven credit scoring systems, customer data platforms, and intelligent automation, among many others, is critical to success. It should be noted that technology alone won't solve all of the industry's problems. As Ivan Dianga, Director of Sales at Collabera, states, it's important to understand not just the importance but the actual real-world impact of cyber threats and cybersecurity prevention to real world operations.
