Shared Responsibility, Shared Security: Strengthening Cloud Resilience in the Philippines

Cloud computing now anchors the Philippines’ digital transformation, powering smarter banking, faster government services, and more connected businesses. But as cloud adoption accelerates, so does the question of accountability: who is truly responsible for keeping our data, applications, and systems secure?
