Did You Know Your Business could face penalties for Data Privacy Violations?

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) was enacted in the Philippines to protect the fundamental human right to privacy. It aims to ensure that personal data is handled securely and responsibly. The law requires businesses and organizations to implement strict data protection measures. These include preventing unauthorized access, misuse, and cyber threats.

Penalties for Violations

Violations of the Data Privacy Act can result in significant penalties. These include fines ranging from ₱100,000 to ₱4 million. Depending on the severity of the offense, imprisonment can range from 6 months to 7 years.

The Growing Threat of Phishing

Phishing remains the most common form of cybercrime. An estimated 3.4 billion spam emails are sent every day. Despite advanced cybersecurity measures, Google blocks around 100 million phishing emails daily. However, 48% of all emails sent in 2022 were still spam. Phishing attacks cost businesses an average of $4 million per data breach. In some cases, a single successful whaling attack can result in losses of up to $47 million.

The Role of Email in Business Cybersecurity

Email is critical to business operations, but it is also a prime target for cyberattacks. Rising threats like phishing, ransomware, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) make traditional email security insufficient. To protect your business, you need a multi-layered defense.
