In recent years, the importance of protecting digital information has become increasingly clear in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks that can cause extensive damages on a global scale. In response to this, NEC is helping to improve the early detection and effective handling of targeted cyber threats against Asean countries through an intensive training program for 40 Asean administrative staff. This training took place in Manila on Thursday and Friday with the cooperation of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). The training will be similar to the Cyber Defence Exercise with Recurrence (CYDER) programme that Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has provided since 2013.
