As agriculture and natural resource systems continue to evolve through digital innovation, the need for strong cybersecurity practices becomes more critical than ever.
The DICT Isabela Provincial Office was invited to serve as resource speakers in the webinar “From Field to Cloud: A Cybersecurity Awareness Webinar for AANR Stakeholders,” conducted in partnership with the Cagayan Valley Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (CVAARRD).

Bringing together participants from across the AANR sector, the session created a space for learning, awareness, and collaboration—highlighting how digital tools, while powerful, also introduce new risks that must be managed.

Through a series of insightful discussions, participants explored the current cybersecurity landscape, learned practical ways to strengthen cyber hygiene, and gained strategies on preventing and responding to cyber threats in their respective fields.

More than just a webinar, the activity emphasized a shared responsibility:
- to protect data,
- to secure systems, and
- to build a more resilient digital future for AANR.

More than building knowledge, this activity calls for a shared commitment— to safeguard our systems, protect our communities, and ensure that technology remains a tool for growth, not vulnerability.

Nitong unang quarter ng taon, naghatid ng bagong pag-asa ang Free Wifi Team, sa pamumuno ni ASec. Pinky T. Jimenez, sa pamamagitan ng pamimigay ng Bayanihan SIM Cards sa mga g**o, mag-aaral, at iba pang benepisyaryo sa iba’t ibang paaralan at komunidad sa Region 2, kabilang ang mga lalawigan ng Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, at Quirino.

Para sa marami, lalo na sa mga nasa liblib na lugar, ang simpleng SIM card na ito ay naging tulay upang mas mapalapit sa kaalaman at oportunidad.

Bawat Bayanihan SIM ay may kasamang libreng 25GB na load bawat buwan sa loob ng isang taon – isang konkretong hakbang upang matiyak na walang maiiwan sa digital na pag-unlad.

Balikan natin ang mga makabuluhang sandali sa isinagawang SIM Card distribution.
