#YourDICTRegionX continues to champion a cyber-secure Northern Mindanao!
On October 16, 2025, the DICT Region X conducted a Cybersecurity Essentials Workshop with the dedicated healthcare team of First Misamis Oriental General Hospital (FMOGH) in North Poblacion, Medina, Misamis Oriental.
The session empowered 25 hospital personnel with practical knowledge on:
Strengthening account and data protection
Practicing proper cyber hygiene
Understanding AI-driven cyber threats
Complying with the Data Privacy Act of 2012
In her opening message, Dr. Nafisah M. Langilao highlighted the crucial role of cybersecurity in safeguarding hospital systems and ensuring patient trust — especially in a time where the healthcare sector is a high-value target for cyberattacks.
Through shared learning and hands-on guidance, participants gained the tools to recognize online risks, prevent data incidents, and protect both personal and institutional information.
DICT Region X remains committed to building a resilient and cyber-aware healthcare community, ensuring that digital transformation goes hand-in-hand with data protection and public safety.
