Vice President Jejomar Binay has left for Tokyo to keynote the SecureAsia 2012 cybersecurity conference.
“I consider the Tokyo conference a welcome opportunity to broaden own familiarity with the more complex issues of cybersecurity, and enlarge the network of experts that our government could call on for assistance, in case of need,” Binay said before his departure.
The two-day event, dubbed “SecureAsia@Tokyo: Meeting the Challenges of a Dynamic Connected Future,” will bring together senior representatives from the academe, government and industry to “identify solutions to the threats organizations face today and to plan for a secure connected future.”
He said cybersecurity was for all countries and not just a concern of developed nations and cited the recently concluded Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) regional forum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which reiterated the need to intensify regional security in the use of information and communication technology.
Binay said the Asean forum also recommended the development of strategies to address emerging threats in cyberspace and the enhancement of cooperation in bringing a culture of cybersecurity.
