Now in its 6th edition, PhilSec 2026 returns as the Philippines’ most influential and anticipated cybersecurity summit — a landmark gathering that brings together the region’s foremost minds to confront the threats, trends, and technologies defining our digital future.
Scheduled for 30 June – 1 July 2026 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Philippines, PhilSec 2026 is set to be its biggest and most impactful edition yet, welcoming 1,000+ attendees from across the public and private sectors. From Chief Information Security Officers and government policymakers to technology architects and emerging security leaders, this is the room where Southeast Asia’s cybersecurity agenda is shaped.
A Summit Backed by the Highest Levels of Government
PhilSec 2026 carries the endorsement and active support of the Philippines’ leading cybersecurity institutions, including the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Anti-Cybercrime Group PNP, and the Philippine Coast Guard. With government bodies deeply embedded in the programme, conversations at PhilSec go beyond the boardroom — they directly inform national policy and infrastructure security decisions.
The Agenda: Where Strategy Meets Action
The two-day summit will cover the most pressing priorities on the regional cybersecurity agenda through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and focused breakout sessions. Key themes include:
- National Cyber Resilience — building frameworks that can withstand evolving state and non-state threats.
- Emerging Threat Landscapes — understanding AI-driven attacks, ransomware evolution, and the growing sophistication of adversaries.
- Cloud Security & Digital Transformation — securing infrastructure as organisations accelerate their migration to cloud-native environments.
- Zero Trust Architecture — practical implementation strategies for enterprises of all scales.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection — safeguarding energy, finance, telecommunications, and government systems.
- Regulatory Compliance & Data Privacy — navigating the Philippines’ evolving legal and compliance landscape.
