    The article of Ed K. Usman entitled “DICT launches PH 5-year national cybersecurity


    plan” talks about the mandate by the DICT that ensure the rights of individuals to privacy and
    confidentiality of their personal information; ensure the security of critical ICT infrastructures
    including information assets of the government, individuals and businesses; and provide
    oversight over agencies governing and regulating the ICT sector and ensure consumer
    protection and welfare, data privacy and security, foster competition and the growth of the ICT
    sector. The president itself recognized this plan by the DICT as useful one since its intention
    was to improve the Filipino users in the ICT sector.
    In a constantly changing information and communications technology (ICT), with the
    rapid growth in cyber threats environment, it is very crucial to have a flexible and dynamic
    cybersecurity strategy in order to meet new global threats. In view of this, I personally believe
    and confident with the mandated plan of the DICT, that it will help contribute to the improvement
    of the security and resiliency of national infrastructures and services. This strategy becomes a
    key policy feature that will help us to tackle risks which have the potential to undermine the
    achievement of economic and social benefits from cyberspace. By conducting its primary goals,
    which were to implement cyber resiliency measures to enhance our ability to respond to threats
    before, during, and after attacks; and with the effective coordination with law enforcement
    agencies and a cybersecurity educated society, I believe that this plan will really help our
    country.
    Cybercrime is considered as an on-going threat. Someone might think that the only form
    of cybercrime that we have to worry about is hackers stealing our financial information. But it
    may not be so simple. There are far more concerns than just basic financial ones. Cybercrime
    continues to evolve, with new threats surfacing every year. However, there are basic and simple
    ways that we need to practice in order to protect ourselves from against the range of
    cybercrimes out there. First is to use strong passwords. We must not repeat our passwords on
    different sites, and change our passwords regularly. We should make them complex by using a
    combination of at least 10 letters, numbers, and symbols. Second is keeping up to date on
    major security breaches. Making ourselves aware about the process in the cyber world will help
    us mitigate and keep us away from being a victim of cybercrime. Awareness is the key. And
    lastly, we must know what to do if we become a victim. If you believe that you’ve become a
    victim of a cybercrime, you need to alert the local police and, in some cases, the FBI. This is
    important even if the crime seems minor. Your report may assist authorities in their
    investigations or may help to thwart criminals from taking advantage of other people in the
    future. These are just naming a few of those helpful tips to secure our cybersecurity as an
    individual. We must just remember that our safety will rely on our actions, and when we do, we
    are now warriors that help to fight cybercrimes.
