Hundreds gather to champion behavioral-based cybersecurity in the Philippines
FORUM 1, the flagship event of the I AM SECURE 2025 cybersecurity awareness series, marked a powerful start with the successful execution of its hybrid event held at Makati Diamond Residences. Centered on the theme, “Priming for Cyber Defense: The Consummate Strategy,” the event gathered hundreds of cybersecurity professionals, experts, and industry leaders to explore cognitive used case strategies for cyber defense.
In his welcome address, ISOG President Chito Jacinto emphasized the forum’s growth since its 2023 debut at the same venue. “It’s inspiring to return to this venue where our journey began. From a single ballroom to an entire floor — this growth reflects the strength of our cybersecurity community. Our new direction on cognitive priming empowers individuals to instinctively recognize and respond to threats. ISOG remains steadfast in building a cyber-ready Philippines.”
ISOG Vice-President and Security Bank CISO Alvin Punsalan delivered a strategic road map for national cyber defense. “To prime our defenses, we must strengthen cross-sector collaboration, adopt a Zero Trust mindset, and mobilize our cybersecurity community. Through I AM SECURE, we protect, we lead, and we inspire. Together, we secure our nation’s digital future.”
