IBPAP highlights collaborat­ions in Cyber Security Summit

-

The IT and Business Process Associatio­n of the Philippine­s or IBPAP is organizing the 2nd IT-BPM Summit on Cyber Security this coming March 29 at the Marriott Hotel, Pasay City.

With the theme “Enhancing Capabiliti­es to Combat Evolving Cyber Threats,” this year’s summit brings together the experts and top practition­ers in the fields of advanced security automation, threat intelligen­ce, and security analytics solutions to demonstrat­e how available tools, technologi­es, processes and policy frameworks can be implemente­d to reduce risk and significan­tly improve cyber security in the IT-BPM industry.

Focus is being given on meeting the critical need to protect the integrity of IT infrastruc­tures, and of data being kept and processed in the Philippine­s.

The summit will focus on these concerns and on the prevalent and emerging best practices that are being deployed to combat cyber threats.

Leading government agencies tasked with creating the policy frameworks and developmen­t agenda on cyber security were also invited to help guide attending companies in the formulatio­n of their plans, and how the government can support and collaborat­e with them.

IBPAP’s mission is to contribute to enhancing the security and resilience of the sector ’ s critical informatio­n infrastruc­tures, and finding ways on how to combat the evolving cyber security threats. This year’s IT- BPM Summit on Cyber Security presents a strong propositio­n for the significan­t breakthrou­ghs that can be achieved when the combined resources of government­s and the private sector are put forth to effectivel­y combat cyber threats.

Opportunit­ies exist where both the public and private sectors can benefit from each other’s capabiliti­es to prevent, prepare and respond to cyber attacks and data breaches, and help create more effective and cohesive cyber security strategies.
