ePLDT Inc., the ICT arm of PLDT Enterprise, and the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that aims to help organizations enhance their cyber security capabilities through a lecture series titled “Into the Cyberverse.”
Through this strategic collaboration, business organizations are encouraged to participate and learn from these thought-leadership programs which will feature cyber security experts, industry, and academe professionals sharing their insights on cyber threats and risk mitigation.
Present during the MOU signing were PLDT Enterprise FVP and Head of Enterprise Digital Solutions and Business Consulting John Gonzales; VP and Head of ICT Product Management Amil Azurin, and Asst. Vice President and Customer Relationship Management Head for FMCG, Logistics and Education Benedicto Perez.
Meanwhile, AIM was represented by AIM President and Dean Jikyeong Kang, Associate Dean Michelle Antero, and AIM Executive Managing Director of Alumni Relations Office Bernardino Jiao.
Dr. Kang highlighted AIM’s involvement in developing programs that are responsive to the challenges of the rapidly changing business environment as part of their mission to sustain the growth of Asian businesses and societies.
Likewise, Gonzales noted that the collaboration is relevant to mitigating the risks against cyber security incidents among companies which have increased in the past few years.
The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) is an Asian pioneer in management education. It was founded in 1968 by a consortium of prominent business leaders, Philippine academic institutions, and the Harvard Business School.
