As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, numerous companies have been forced to go partially or fully online, switching to a work-from-home setting. Consequently, the risk of cybersecurity threats has significantly increased and has affected numerous online platforms frequented by businesses. Due to the increasing shift towards online business operations and digital transactions, cybercriminals view this as an opportune time to target enterprises by illegally accessing confidential data and using the same for unlawful purposes; thus, putting the organization at high risk of cyberthreats.

We, invite you to the online conference entitled "Cybersecurity Risks & Trends", as the speakers from the Department of Information and Communications Technology and technology companies discuss the latest developments and risks in the Philippine cybersecurity landscape, how this can affect organizations, and how businesses can prepare against these cyberthreats.

This event is in partnership with ECCP, Advantage Austria, the British Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, French Chamber of Commerce and German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
