Globe Business lends cybersecurity expertise to DICT’s e-Government Master Plan 2.0

Globe Business, the enterprise information and communications technology (ICT) arm of Globe Telecom, recently led a team of cybersecurity experts in conducting a focused group discussion (FGD) geared towards the development of the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s e-Government Master Plan 2.0 (eGMP 2.0).

The e-GMP 2.0 is a comprehensive master plan that aims to harmonize and integrate the ICT efforts of the national government. It plans to address the challenges of digitally transforming the government’s systems by developing strategies in focus areas such as cybersecurity, financial management, general administration and logistics, and data exchange to name a few.

Globe Business was invited to be part of the FGD on Cybersecurity and Security-in-Depth Systems that discussed a wide-range of topics to help equip the government sector with knowledge on addressing cybersecurity threats.

The event, which Globe Business organized in partnership with the Infocomm Technology Association of the Philippines (ITAP) and DICT, gathered over 80 participants from 13 different national government agencies.

“We couldn’t be more pleased that DICT chose us as a business advisor and partner for this endeavor. Globe Business is leading the way in encouraging both the government and private sector to put in place measures to help them effectively respond to these increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges,” said Globe Business Senior Vice President Peter Maquera. Globe Business is also spearheading the #makeITsafePH campaign to empower Globe Business clients to safeguard sensitive corporate data and to protect company resources.
