With the Philippines entering the most decisive phase of its digital transformation, cybersecurity has now become the central pillar supporting its national digital agenda. Following the implementation of the National Cybersecurity Plan (NCSP) 2023–2028, the government continues to reinforce its commitment through bold new initiatives aimed at strengthening digital resilience across both public and private sectors.
AI-Powered Threat Detection & Defense
Expansion of National Cyber Infrastructure
Rise in Cloud and IoT Adoption
The Philippines’ cybersecurity market, valued at USD 261.5 million in 2025, is projected to surpass USD 682.16 million by 2032, supported by national regulations such as the Data Privacy Act and multi-sector initiatives like the newly introduced Cybersecurity Council of the Philippines (CSCP). The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) continues to lead the charge with initiatives like Cybersecurity Awareness Month, national cyber drills, and the establishment of regional Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to elevate the nation’s cyber defense posture.
Organised by Tradepass, the 6th edition of PhilSec on 30 June – 1 July 2026 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, will once again gather over 800+ cybersecurity leaders including the Heads of Information Security, Risk, Compliance, Forensics and Cyber Law from the leading public and private enterprises across the country.
As the country accelerates toward becoming a regional digital powerhouse, cybersecurity is emerging as both a national priority and a business imperative. With the rollout of 5G connectivity, increased AI-driven automation, and the government’s digital ID system gaining traction, the Philippines is experiencing unprecedented levels of data generation and with it, heightened exposure to cyber risks.
Recent reports reveal that the Philippines remains among the Top 10 most targeted nations globally for cyberattacks, with SMEs and critical infrastructure sectors facing the brunt of advanced phishing, ransomware, and cloud-based exploits. At the same time, this challenge has ignited massive opportunities for cybersecurity vendors, investors, and policymakers to collaborate in building the nation’s next-generation defense ecosystem.
PhilSec is a highly focused initiative that carefully cherry-picks key decision-making profiles from the Philippines' leading organisations that’re actively seeking cybersecurity solutions.
