THE Department of National Defense (DND) sent two representatives to the 11th ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM)-Plus Experts Working Group on Cyber Security (EWG-CS) in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
DND spokesman Arsenio Andolong said the ADMM seeks to introduce ASEAN states to the EWG Work Plan for the 2024-2027 cycle, which includes the revival of the EWG Web Portal to be managed by the ADMM Cybersecurity and Information Center of Excellence (ACICE).
Deployed to the ASEAN conference in Thailand were Director Christine Cariño, head of the Office for Cyber and Information System Management (OCISM), and Col. Joey Fontiveros, chief of Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Cyber Command.
The meeting was co-chaired by the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Australian Department of Defense.
The ADMM-Plus EWG on CS is a platform for the defense establishments of ASEAN and its eight Dialogue Partners to strengthen practical cooperation on cybersecurity towards peace, stability, and development in the region.
