The National Cybersecurity Plan (NCSP) for 2023-2028 is expected to promote the formulation of updated cybersecurity guidelines for ICT systems or networks, and the adoption of internationally-recognized policies and frameworks.
The Department of Information and Technology (DICT) announced on Friday, Jan. 20, that its Tech4Ed Centers located in its regional offices are ready to support the public with free assistance for SIM registration.
The DICT also held a presscon this week to formally launch the SIM Registration 24/7 interagency response center at the DICT Cybersecurity Bureau Building in Quezon City where subscribers who have concerns regarding SIM registration can dial the response center via its hotline 1326.
DIWA aims to harness the role of ICTs to advance gender equality and empower women to actively participate in building an inclusive and sustainable digital future.
Under the law, those who are required to register are all SIM subscribers, whether postpaid or prepaid, including embedded SIMs or eSIMs and other variations that are provisioned by any telco to provide text messages, calls, and/or data services.
Among the questions hurled on DICT secretary Ivan Uy at the committee level hearing was the appointment of Jose Vicente “Jovy” Salazar, the controversial former chair of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), as undersecretary of the DICT.
The partner agencies include the Landbank of the Philippines, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Trade and Industry, GSIS, SSS, and the Mindanao Development Authority.
