Protecting businesses from cyberattacks

Through the formulation of the National Cybersecurity Plan 2022, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) aims to assure continuous operation of nation’s critical infostructures, implement cyber resiliency to respond to threats, coordinate with law enforcement agencies and cybersecure educated society.

Echoing the government’s mission, Acer Philippines calls on institutions that are highly vulnerable from cyber threats, like businesses, tostrengthen their data security through maximizing available hardware and software.

Acer Philippines’ Sales and Marketing Director Sue Ong-Lim said, “Technological advancements will continue to bring security issues if we don’t know how to utilize them. Cybersecurity has always been a problem in the country and it’s about time we do something about it. Globally, 43% of cyber-attacks are aimed at small businesses and with 230,000 new malware samples created every day, the number of data breaches are expected to rise in the coming years.”

But online threats are not the only entities Filipinos should be weary of. One can transfer malwares through unsafe transport of data though corrupted hard drives and USB devices.

“We always recommend to our clients and business partners to choose hardware that provide security features.”

Acer puts thought into their designs of both software and hardware.

Designed to protect companies’ assets from harm and theft, the Acer Security Suite is a complete hardware and software package that encrypts any program file, computer, and user-set passwords and can leverage the trusted platform module (TPM) technology.
