#cyber army philippines

The first thing that came to mind when thinking of a possible solution to defend the Philippines against a cyber attack is to have our own cyber army. If we have our conventional military, no matter how meager, to defend us in times of war, why not have a cyber army to defend country from foreign or domestic cyber attacks? The Philippine government's cyber army can be a mix of civilian contractors, government agents and uniformed soldiers who have undergone years of training in cyber warfare. And since there's no doubt that the Philippines have plenty of citizens with really brilliant computer skills, it's no longer a question of "who has the skills?" but rather a question of "who can be trusted?" Our nation's infrastructure should be protected by a cyber force that is strictly bound by laws and ethics. A cyber army's primary objective is the secure the country's networks from cyber attacks. The government might assign the cyber army to an existing branch or agency like the Department of National Defense or create a new one specific for the task. Cyber attacks have been a looming problem for a quite some time now and a cyber army is another way of trying to solve (or manage) that problem.
