A data expert on Saturday urged the government to invest more on cybersecurity, which includes hiring more tech specialists, as several agencies have fallen victims to cyber attacks.

This comes after state insurer PhilHealth and the Philippine Statistics Authority recently reported data breaches. Weeks after, the De La Salle University also experienced a "cybersecurity incident."

"Ikakasama nila 'yan if I say we need to lobby for more cyber investment. And then sa taumbayan... cyber literacy," Ligot said over Teleradyo Serbisyo. Companies must also begin drills on cyber attacks, as the first 24 hours are "crucial to secure the rest" of the data. "Wala tayong cyber drill. Paano pag nagkaroon ng breach, what do you do? Kaya lahat ng tao nasha-shock agad," he said.
