Singapore-based APAC Expo Pte. Ltd. has the exclusive right to organize the international conference and exhibition within the next five years with the support of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Cybercrime Coordination and Investigating Center (CICC).
The MOA allows the NPC to access resources, technical expertise, and institutional and international linkages of the National Cybercrime Hub (NCH) to fulfill its mandate related to data privacy and protection.
Blockchain company Binance has recently partnered with the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) under the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), to share its insights and experiences in preventing cybercrime using blockchain forensics with the various law enforcement agencies.
Globe Telecom chief information security officer Anton Bonifacio said their coordination with law enforcement agencies has led to the arrest and prosecution of text scammers.
The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) said the Digital Forensics Platform and Laboratory (DFPAL) will serve as an important tool of the government’s fight against the rising cybercrimes, especially Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC).
The NPC said the collaboration is in recognition of the significant synergies and complementarity on the respective duties and functions of both agencies in the protection of data privacy and cybersecurity.
The main function of the CICC, however, is now merely confined to just coordinating anti-cybercrime efforts among law enforcement agencies. Republic Act 10844 — the law that created the DICT — transferred the cybersecurity and anti-cybercrime powers of the CICC and its executive director to the DICT.
