OpenGov Asia is pleased to invite you to our exclusive OpenGov Breakfast Insight aimed at imparting knowledge on implementing a proactive threat prevention strategy against cyber-attacks.
Technology’s rapid and transformative evolution remains persistent, catalysing a revolution across various aspects of life. Its ubiquitous influence has fundamentally reshaped the global landscape, inaugurating an era characterised by unparalleled convenience and connectivity.
Nevertheless, as technology continues to push boundaries and redefine possibilities, the growing concerns regarding the protection of personal information, safeguarding against cyber threats, and ensuring ethical practices highlight the crucial importance of balancing progress with ethical responsibility.
In the Philippines, the rapid adoption of digital technologies and the rising prevalence of internet usage elevate the susceptibility of Filipino online users to cyber threats. Exploiting the relatively modest cybersecurity market in the country and the insufficient awareness of cyber hygiene among internet users, perpetrators have capitalised on these factors, leading to multiple instances of data breaches and cyber-attacks.
In a recent series of cyberattacks, ineffective cybersecurity in the Philippines led to breaches on government websites, jeopardising millions. In 2023, hackers targeted the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), compromising data, including that of overseas Filipino workers. Concurrently, the House of Representatives homepage was tampered with, revealing government vulnerabilities in the digital realm.
Acknowledging the cyber threat landscape in the country, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has pledged support for legislative measures proposed by the PSAC Digital Infrastructure Group to strengthen cybersecurity. This reflects the government’s determination to prioritise and expedite the approval of three pending bills in the Senate: the Cybersecurity Act, Anti-Mule Act, and Online Site Blocking Act, crucial components of the nation’s strategy to enhance cybersecurity and safeguard digital assets.
In light of these threats and initiatives, how can organisations ensure protection? What strategies and robust measures should they embrace to achieve cyber resilience and safeguard their mission-critical applications, services, and infrastructure?
Cloud Security Solutions to Mitigate Cyberthreats
In the Philippines’ digital transformation journey, securing sensitive government data and critical infrastructure is crucial. Automated and unified cloud security solutions are employed to efficiently detect, prevent, and mitigate cyber threats across various platforms, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of essential government information. These advanced security measures enhance cybersecurity resilience, safeguard national interests, build public trust, and promote technological innovations.
Safeguarding Organisations With AI
AI shows substantial potential in strengthening the defences of government agencies and businesses against sophisticated cyber threats. Its core functionalities encompass the detection of unknown malware via infected hosts, static analysis within sandboxes, and the identification of anomalies in cloud networks. Furthermore, AI can effectively tackle phishing risks by detecting them in both network and mobile environments and employing an anti-phishing AI engine.
