Philippines, 21st June, 2021: With an aim to aid Philippines’ Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in promoting the National Cybersecurity Plan 2022 and to develop counter-intelligence against the burgeoning state of cyber-crimes in the Philippines, Tradepass has taken the initiative to launch PhilSec 2021, scheduled for 13-14 July, 2021.
The virtual event will be a one-of-a-kind platform that will have dignitaries from the leading public and private organisations across the Philippines including the government bodies like National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-PH), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The event will also have a massive turnout from a wide range of sectors including but not limited to E-commerce, Retail, Banking, Healthcare, Automobile, etc. and is expected to be a game changer for the cybersecurity landscape in the country.
As one of the leading guest speakers for PhilSec 2021, Allan S Cabanlong, the voice behind the Philippines’ National Cybersecurity Plan, will address over 700 cybersecurity enthusiasts including CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, Heads of IT, Risk, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Law & Forensics from various public & private enterprises along with the leading cybersecurity solution providers.
Tradepass’ CEO, Sudhir Jena, commented that “The event is a crucial feat for Tradepass as it will help the Philippines in strengthening the ties between its government and the many enterprises from the public and private sector, thereby enhancing collaboration on matters related to tackling cyber-threats.”
As per the Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group, there have been 869 online scams between March to September 2020 which is 37 percent higher compared to the same period in 2019 that witnessed 633.
