FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila - The
Philippine Army continues to strengthen its cyber defense capabilities
during the conduct of 2nd Gat Andres Bonifacio Colloquium on Monday,
Oct. 14.
With the theme, “Building Resilience in
the Age of Disruption: Strengthening the Army’s Cyber Defense
Capabilities,” the activity aimed to broaden Army’s knowledge and
strategies in addressing the challenges of hybrid threats.
The forum provided Army leaders and
other participating units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines an
in-depth discussion on the latest developments and threats in
cybersecurity. Other key speakers also discussed the significant
approaches that will fortify the Army’s cyber capabilities through the
utilization of the country’s cyber competencies.
Guest of Honor and Speaker, Chief of
Installation and Management Command Maj. Gen. Tyne T. Bañas emphasized
that “the continuous enhancement of our [Army’s] cyber-related
capabilities is now an integral part of developing a responsive defense
posture that can effectively address fast-evolving threats.” He also
highlighted the importance of such operations in countering the spread
of violent extremism narratives in the cyber domain.
The event is the second of the
three-part series colloquium that provides extensive discourse anchored
on the topics of the 12th Senior Leaders Conference. The first leg was
launched last July that tackled Army’s strategic communication of
effective messaging in the era of disinformation and fake news. The last
part of the colloquium is set to take place before the year ends.
“We must build up our ability to address
and undermine cyber-related threats. May the insights of today fortify
our capacity to operate and prevail in cyberspace, as part of our
mandate to serve the people and secure the land,” added Bañas.#
