Cybersecurity company expanding PHL talent pool

NCC Group, a cybersecurity company, said on Thursday that it is scaling up talent development in the Philippines by offering specialized cybersecurity skills training.

“The Manila office has been an integral part of our global capacity for clients and has opened doors to develop local technology talent,” NCC Group Philippines Country Leader Mirei Magallona said.

“We are now growing into a hub for specialized cyber expertise and continuing to expand our cybersecurity scope to support our clients,” she added.

Since operations started in Manila last year, the company has expanded its local capabilities through training and plans to offer its services to Philippine companies.

“The company’s push for local talent development comes at a time when local firms plan to invest in their tech capabilities,” NCC added.

According to Ms. Magallona, NCC’s goal is to continue attracting and developing expertise.

Citing Forrester, it said that tech spending in the Philippines is expected to increase 9.4% in 2025, with artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity among the key drivers of investment.

Recently, NCC Group has launched a new suite of Digital Identity Services, which aims to help organizations manage and protect their digital assets.

“It is the latest addition to NCC Group’s suite of solutions powered by its professionals all over the world, including the Filipino workforce,” NCC said.— Justine Irish D. Tabile
