CICC names Gogolook as cybersecurity vanguard

The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC), created upon the approval of Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act, has extolled Gogolook, a global leader in anti-scam applications, for its efforts in helping strengthen the country's cybersecurity.

CICC Executive Director Usec. Alexander Ramos expressed gratitude to Gogolook and other private sector partners for assisting the government in strengthening the Philippines' cyberspace.

 "We commend the private sector for its outstanding efforts in bolstering our nation’s cybersecurity. Their dedication to protecting our digital landscape has been instrumental in safeguarding critical infrastructure and the personal information of millions,” Ramos said.

“We look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to fortify our country’s defenses against evolving cyber threats," he added.

Mel Migriño, the country head of Gogolook, voiced her gratitude to the CICC for acknowledging their work in enhancing online security, particularly for individual Filipino internet users.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized by the government, especially the CICC, for our contributions to the national cybersecurity programs,” Migriño said.

“This recognition fuels our commitment to safeguard the digital identities and online activities of Filipinos and ensure a secure future for both businesses and citizens. Together, we will continue to innovate and reinforce our defense against cyber scams,” she added.

The recognition highlights Gogolook’s involvement in CICC’s campaigns against online scams and fraud.

Through joint efforts like online initiatives, caravans, and roadshows, Gogolook has shared data on scams collected via its Whoscall app and has shared its expertise and data on global trends.

The acknowledgment also highlights Gogolook's efforts to make Whoscall, a digital anti-scam application aimed at enhancing users' online safety, accessible to all Filipinos.
