The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has formally sealed a partnership with the Republic of Korea to establish the country's first National Cyber Security Center (NCSC). Beyond monitoring infrastructure, the multimillion-dollar project is heavily structured around capacity building, focusing on modernizing state information security networks, building a national cyber threat response system, and training a new generation of skilled local tech professionals. DICT Chief Henry Aguda emphasized that the strategic investment focuses primarily on safeguarding everyday citizens rather than just internal tech systems. He explained that cybersecurity has shifted far past basic technical frameworks, noting that the new initiative is ultimately built to secure public trust, data privacy, and the financial transactions that Filipinos rely on daily. The device has global 2G/3G/4G support and can be used for video calls.
