"...countries and economies investing in cybersecurity capacity are better equipped to weather increasing and relentless cyber-attacks and information security breaches. However, significant shortages in talent capacity exist across countries and at a global level."

Written by IBM with the support of USAID's BEACON Project

The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Better Access and Connectivity (BEACON) Project is a five-year project (2021-2026) which comprehensively supports economic growth in the Philippines by improving access and connectivity to information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure. The project’s three mutually reinforcing focus areas — ICT infrastructure, enabling environment, and cybersecurity — will increase productivity, facilitate trade, and foster innovation, leading the Philippines to be more inclusive, competitive, and self-reliant.

 

One of the project’s objectives is to reinforce cybersecurity protections by enhancing the cybersecurity capacity across Philippine government agencies. Activities include provision of cybersecurity trainings and certifications to upskill and increase the number of the current government workforce, working in close coordination and partnership with the Government of the Philippines’ Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
