AI-driven cybersecurity: A game-changer for organisations in the Philippines

Manila Standard | 19th March 2025

Digital transformation has unlocked significant opportunities for Philippine organizations to enhance customer experiences, optimize operations, and boost revenue growth. However, this progress also brings substantial cybersecurity risks.

As companies embrace the digital future, they face an increasingly complex threat landscape marked by more sophisticated and frequent cyberattacks. This reality has prompted many organizations to recalibrate their cybersecurity strategies and adopt measures to mitigate risks effectively.

While organizations deploy various security tools to safeguard their systems, the report revealed that Philippine organizations tend to rely heavily on best-of-breed (BOB) solutions rather than integrated platforms for their cybersecurity needs, as 65% of respondents noted. These solutions are primarily deployed for malware detection (83%), vulnerability management (75%), incident response (63%), threat intelligence (58%), and network monitoring (48%).

To effectively navigate the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations need a unified platform approach. Relying on multiple point solutions can hinder efficiency, as managing disparate security stacks, vendors, and siloed products often results in fragmented policies and isolated consoles. By adopting an integrated cybersecurity platform, organizations can streamline operations, improve visibility, and enable faster threat detection and response. This makes the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity even more critical, as it enhances the ability to identify and mitigate threats swiftly and effectively.
