CA Confirms Ad Interim Appointments of 36 AFP Officers Cybersecurity Concerns Raised in Senate Hearing

The Commission on Appointments (CA) has approved the ad interim appointments of 36 senior Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) officers and 19 Department of Foreign Affairs officials, potentially paving the way for significant implications for national security. In a timely move, just days before Congress adjourned for the campaign season, Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Risa Hontiveros held a hearing to address concerns surrounding the AFP's cybersecurity posture.

Cybersecurity Concerns Raised in Senate Hearing

During the hearing, Senators Dela Rosa and Hontiveros questioned some of the AFP officials about their efforts to shield the military from cyber attacks and espionage. Specifically, Senator Dela Rosa expressed concern regarding the use of Chinese AI app DeepSeek by Filipino soldiers. He asked Brig. Gen. Constancio Espina II, commander of the AFP Communications, Electronics and Information Systems Services, how the military planned to implement policies prohibiting the use of such apps.

Implementing Policy against Cyber Threats

Espina explained that all information and communications would be secured through a dedicated network provided by the AFP. This approach aims to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data from cyber threats.

Cyber Defense Doctrine

Senator Hontiveros also raised concerns over data breaches and cyber intrusion issues plaguing the country. She asked Espina about the status of the AFP's cyber defense doctrine, which he reported was already in development. The doctrine focuses on information network operations and defense cyber operations, aligning with the third horizon modernization program aimed at boosting the AFP's capabilities.

Conclusion

As we continue to explore the evolving landscape of material scientists professionals, it is clear that cybersecurity concerns are a growing concern for organizations worldwide. By staying ahead of these threats, we can ensure our success in the years to come.
