The Information Security Officers Group (ISOG) was represented by its President, Mr. Chito Jacinto, who served as one of the panelists alongside fellow industry experts at the BusinessWorld Cybersecurity Summit 2026: Toward Stronger Digital Defenses, held on July 21, 2026, at The Ballroom, Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts.
Mr. Jacinto took part in Panel Discussion 2: โBecoming a Crisis Commander in the Event of a Cyber-Attack,โ sharing insights and perspectives on leading organizations through cyber crises, from making critical decisions during the first hour of an attack and defining crisis leadership roles, to strengthening incident response preparedness, managing communications, addressing third-party and supply chain risks, and recognizing when a cyber incident becomes an enterprise-wide business crisis.
The panel also brought together fellow industry experts, including ISOG Members Mr. Mar Apuhin, representing GT Capital, and Mr. Dennis Mathew Opiso representing JG Summit Holdings, Inc., who shared their valuable insights and perspectives on cyber crisis leadership, incident response, and organizational resilience.
The discussion highlighted an important reality: Cybersecurity is no longer solely an IT concern. Effective cyber resilience requires strong leadership, clear accountability, cross-functional collaboration, and organization-wide preparedness.
Also in attendance to show their support were ISOG Core Members Archie Santana, Raymond Nunez and Mario Demarillas.
ISOG remains committed to supporting meaningful industry dialogue and fostering collaboration among cybersecurity leaders and professionals toward building stronger digital defenses and a more resilient cybersecurity ecosystem in the Philippines.
