MANILA, Philippines — Multi-award-winning, architecture-led technology partner Trends & Technologies Inc. (Trends), together with global cybersecurity innovator Cyble, hosted a joint cybersecurity briefing to address the rapid escalation of sophisticated threats targeting Philippine enterprises and public institutions. The event, titled Defining the Era of Control: AI-Driven Threat Intelligence for the Next Generation, was held at Discovery Primea, Makati City last June 18. The briefing gathered industry leaders across critical sectors—including Telecommunications, Banking and Finance, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Real Estate and Government—to discuss shifting from reactive damage control to intercepting cyber threats outside the organization’s digital borders. During the discussion, Trends emphasized the severe operational and economic consequences of modern cyber infrastructure breaches. “Cybersecurity threats are moving faster than ever before, making breaches costlier both operationally and financially,” said Leo Alvyn Cruz, Operations Sr. Manager for Managed ICT Services at Trends. “We’ve partnered with Cyble for this focused session because of their expertise and emphasis on AI-driven, real time threat intelligence, and we agree: when threats move faster than a business’s visibility on them, the real impact and vulnerability will never be fully understood in time for a response. Waiting for an alert inside your network means you’re already behind. True defense means looking outward, finding those risks, and neutralizing them before they ever have a chance to disrupt the business or hit the bottom line,” explained Cruz. According to Cyble’s Director for Global GSI and MSSP Business, Kapil Barman, there has been a 1,265% increase in phishing activities via generative AI, and the average cost of an AI-powered breach is at $5.72 million. “With global ransomware recovery costs benchmarked at an average of $1.5 million, and the average time to detect a breach sitting at 181 days, enterprises need more advanced capabilities,” Barman stated. This reality requires enterprises to shift from reactive defense to proactive, intelligence-led security, allowing companies to take control of their security timeline and break the cycle of constant recovery. “In line with our theme, we urge organizations and tech leaders to define this new era of control. The digital landscape is becoming increasingly complex, and they face more sophisticated cyber risks. More than ever, security teams need holistic visibility into emerging threats and adversary activity in order for them to prioritize and respond effectively. And, more than ever, businesses need strong cyber threat intelligence solutions partners to increase their resilience and have proactive defense,” Barman added. This joint initiative reinforces the shared commitment of Trends and Cyble to elevate enterprise defense standards in the region, shifting organizations toward automated, intelligence-led threat prevention.
