Fortinet: 93% of Philippine firms suffered cyber breaches. By Minerva Newman July 31, 2026, 12:05 PM Estimated reading time: 2 minutes and 2 seconds CEBU CITY - Cybercriminals are becoming more organized and sophisticated, with artificial intelligence accelerating the pace and scale of attacks, leaving Philippine businesses increasingly vulnerable, cybersecurity firm Fortinet said. Geographic Reference Citing its latest threat intelligence findings and a Philippines-focused Forrester study, Fortinet said 93 percent of Philippine organizations experienced at least one cyber breach in 2025, while 28 percent suffered five or more incidents. - Advertisement - Discover more Lifestyle content platform Financial market data Speaking at a media briefing in Cebu on July 30, Fortinet Philippines Country Manager Bambi Escalante said the average cyber breach costs local organizations about $1.5 million, driven by malware, phishing attacks, and ransomware. Beyond financial losses, she said 70 percent of affected companies required more than a month to recover, resulting in prolonged operational disruptions, lost revenue, and reputational damage. Escalante said a shortage of cybersecurity professionals remains one of the industry's biggest challenges, with 71 percent of surveyed organizations attributing security breaches to gaps in cybersecurity skills across their workforce, processes, or technologies. As cybercriminals increasingly use artificial intelligence to enhance the speed and sophistication of attacks, organizations continue to struggle with securing sensitive data, cloud environments, and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The study also found that fragmented cybersecurity systems contribute to "alert fatigue," making it more difficult for security teams to identify and respond quickly to AI-powered threats. Despite the growing threat landscape, Fortinet said 94 percent of Philippine organizations plan to increase investments in cybersecurity, while many are already deploying or testing AI-driven security tools. Nap Castillo, Fortinet Philippines senior manager for systems engineering, said the company is promoting integrated, platform-based cybersecurity solutions through its FortOS operating system, which combines network security, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and AI-powered security operations. Castillo added that Fortinet is also developing quantum cryptography technologies to help organizations prepare for future cybersecurity challenges posed by quantum computing. Globally, Fortinet said its threat intelligence efforts have supported law enforcement operations that led to the disruption of more than 1,200 cybercriminals and the shutdown of 114,000 malicious networks. The company also emphasized the importance of developing cybersecurity talent. Castillo said Fortinet has committed to training and certifying one million cybersecurity professionals worldwide and is expanding partnerships with Philippine universities to integrate cybersecurity courses into academic programs. Geographic Reference He added that the company's free online Network Security Expert (NSE) certification program has already issued 1.8 million certifications worldwide and, together with workforce awareness initiatives, aims to help close the country's cybersecurity skills gap. - Advertisement -
