With the growing urgency to strengthen digital defenses in the face of relentless cyber threats in the Philippines, the country's leading fiber broadband and technology solutions provider, Converge, has stepped up to lead the conversation on resilience and showcased its latest innovation at an event with the theme "Cyber Resilience Check: Are You Ready for the Next Cyberattack?" this past Friday at the Grand Hyatt Manila.

Converge rallies business leaders in Cyber Resilience Event

Converge's Cyber Resilience event focused on enhancing organizational preparedness against these cyber threats in the age of artificial intelligence. The event highlighted the importance of being ready for the next cyberattack in the current digital landscape while emphasizing the critical intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and the need to build a profound digital resilience.

Building on this concept, Converge's Chief Commercial Advisor Sherie Ng spoke on "The Age of Intelligence: Why AI Is Everyone's Business" during her keynote speech. She opened her talk by discussing the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the accompanying risks and dangers of its even quicker widespread adoption.

Ms. Ng's keynote tackled how the power of AI, while transformative and efficient, is a double-edged sword that must be wielded responsibly. She followed with an introduction on cybersecurity, current trends, the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, and challenges faced by both businesses and individuals. Converge's Chief Commercial Advisor, who also serves as its Managing Director for Converge Global Business Group, concluded that leaders must ensure that AI literacy and adoption are embedded across all levels to gain a competitive edge through faster insights and quicker adaptation to market demands.
