Cybersecurity remains a key issue in the Philippines, and even more so now with Filipinos becoming increasingly aware about cyber attacks and similar threats. In line with this, the government has committed P2 billion for the next three years to boost the country’s cybersecurity framework. The Department of Information Communication Technology, a government bureau established in 2016 to help police the Philippine internet, launched the National Cybersecurity Plan 2022 early this year.

Hackers find new ways to leverage unprotected devices to launch cyber attacks. The reality remains – our world of unsecured devices is the new playground for hackers; and according to F5 Networks’ latest report, this is not going to change (until IoT manufacturers are forced to secure these devices), as IoT devices are becoming the “cyberweapon delivery system of choice” by today’s botnet-building attackers.
