The Protect Technology-Telecom Alliance Pilipinas or PROTECTA Pilipinas is working with the Department of National Defense, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center to strengthen community participation in protecting telecommunications infrastructure and improving cyber resilience.
Two local technology groups have called on the fintech industry, particularly e-wallet firms, to institute stronger cybersecurity measures and consumer protection in the wake of recent unauthorized fund transactions on the GCash e-wallet platform.
The public-private collaboration, called Protecta Pilipinas or Protect Technology-Telecom Alliance, aims to safeguard technology and telecommunications infrastructure across the country and help ensure that Filipinos have unhampered access to much-needed connectivity.
