The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is serious in its commitment to improve the nation’s cybersecurity as it spearheads, together with Digital Pilipinas, theTrustTech movement, a whole-of-society campaign that aims to build confidence among individuals and businesses in the Philippine digital realm.
The movement kicked off through its first-event, the TrustTech Conference: Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection, held on July 28 at Shangri-La The Fort, BGC, in Taguig City.
“We must build confidence and foster trustworthy relationships among all stakeholders in the digital realm. TrustTech provides us with an opportunity to reimagine the way we operate and interact in our digital ecosystems,” said BPI President and CEO TG Limcaoco.
“By leveraging the latest technologies, embracing robust security measures, and prioritizing consumer protection, we can create an environment that instills trust, encourages innovation, and promotes sustainable growth.”
The TrustTech Conference touched on the challenges and concerns surrounding trust in an increasingly digital world. It featured speakers from the Global Fintech Institute (GFI), namely David Lee, Professor at the Singapore University of Social Sciences and Vice President of the Economic Society of Singapore; and Chia Hock Lai, Co-founder of GFI and Founding President of the Singapore Fintech Association. Panel discussions from the government, foreign representatives, and private sector were also held.
