Episode description

Are you concerned about data breaches and the safety of your personal information in the Philippines? With the increasing number of cyber attacks and human errors, data breaches have become a significant concern in the country.

 The Data Privacy Act of 2012 established the legal framework for protecting personal data, and the National Privacy Commission requires personal information controllers to report any data breaches that occur. However, despite these measures, data breaches remain a significant threat to the safety of personal information. This episode delves into the exciting and ever-evolving landscape of data breaches in the Philippines. We discuss the common causes of data breaches, the impact of these breaches on individuals and organizations, and the steps that the National Privacy Commission is taking to mitigate these risks and safeguard personal information.

 Tune in to learn more as Gorriceta Partners, Atty. Kristine Torres and Atty. Edsel Tupaz discusses these critical issues and how you can protect yourself from the risks of data breaches in the Philippines.
