CYBERSECURITY CARAVAN AND ACADEME FORUM

Background

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is mandated to

ensure the rights of individuals to privacy and confidentiality of their personal information;
ensure the security of critical ICT infrastructure including information assets of the
government, individuals, and businesses; and provide oversight over agencies governing and
regulating the ICT sector and ensure consumer protection and welfare, data privacy and
security, foster competition, and the growth of the ICT sector. The crafting of the National
Cybersecurity Plan 2022 (NCSP 2022) is a vital tool in fulfilling this mandate.

The 4th Key Imperative under the NCSP 2022 is the protection of individuals in cyberspace
and part of this is heightening the awareness of Internet users on the importance of
CyberSecurity. The CyberSecurity Caravan’s objective is anchored on this rationale.

Objective

This Caravan aims to educate and develop the awareness of students, and even teachers, on
