THE DEPARTMENT of Finance (DoF) will integrate cybersecurity features in the country’s new trade facilitation platform.
“A digital trading platform that aims to reduce the processing time and number of transactions for import and export clearances will be reinforced with cybersecurity features to keep it safe from unauthorized access and other forms of cyberattacks,” the DoF said in a statement yesterday.
The DoF was referring to TradeNet, the country’s National Single Window system launched in December that is also linked to some Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) counterparts.
“Our cybersecurity system will be implemented to provide monitoring and continuous vigilance services for TradeNet,” Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III was quoted as saying. — Elijah Joseph C. Tubayan
