Outside the education system is a far more dangerous place where people—children in particular—can be victims of cyber threats. “In the digital world, children’s rights are threatened by cyberattacks, data breaches and online exploitation. UNICEF uses advanced cybersecurity tools to protect children, partners and donors – enhancing visibility and managing the threats in our digital environment,” he said. “As an organization, we adapt and innovate to tackle cyber challenges and take advantage of opportunities. We’re working on new ways of assessing and managing risks. Evaluating how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence can keep our digital services safe and reliable. Always aiming to use technology to provide the best support for children.”

For businesses to get involved and secure children’s welfare, whether visiting your website or using your services online, any interaction or contact made on your end should always be safe and gated for any users, especially critical and sensitive information. ManageEngine, one of ITG’s tech partners, promotes cybersecurity from inside to outside ecosystems of your company that can help you and your business gain trust from the public. 

“The risk of losing the business or the risk of losing valuable assets or damage of those assets can [really] happen. So we need to protect those assets and important information, important details about our employees. That’s one of the [many] responsibilities of each organization [involved in data privacy and security],” he said. “Both private and public organizations, they are all growing. The demand for technology is increasing, and at the same time, threats are also evolving, so we need to practice [how to protect our data],” said Rommel Bernabe, ITG’s Head of IT Management Solution, during the celebration of  World Privacy Data.
