The EO mandates all government agencies and local government units to formulate, adopt and implement cybersecurity plans in accordance with the NCSP.

“It is imperative for all concerned national government agencies and instrumentalities, and local government units, to support and cooperate towards the successful implementation of the NCSP 2023-2028,” the EO read.
