The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Friday called on the public to maintain their vigilance against cyber threat actors infiltrating various digital platforms, reminding everyone that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
“Cybersecurity is not solely a governmental responsibility but a shared duty that requires the cooperation and vigilance of every Filipino,” AFP spokesperson Colonel Margareth Padilla said in a statement. Padilla acknowledged serious risks posed by cybercriminals, thus it is imperative on the part of the public and private sectors to take a collective action in defense of our country’s overall cyberinfrastructure.
“It underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and the consequences of failing to address these adversities effectively,” the AFP spokesperson said.
