#TechPH - DECODE 2025: How Cybersecurity Pros Are Staying Ahead in the Age of AI

Cybersecurity might sound like a topic reserved for techies, but at DECODE 2025, it was clear that staying safe online is everyone’s business. Trend Micro’s annual conference brought together over 600 professionals, industry experts, and law enforcement leaders—all eager to share the latest strategies for protecting our digital lives.

This year’s theme, “Maximize Momentum,” was more than just a catchy slogan. With AI-assisted threats on the rise, the event focused on how we can all be more proactive about cybersecurity. From deepfakes and sophisticated online scams to the erosion of trust in digital spaces, the sessions tackled real issues that affect everyday people.

One of the standout moments was the keynote by David Sancho, who broke down the risks of relying too much on AI. He pointed out that while AI can make life easier, it can also lead to a loss of skills, fewer job opportunities, and—most importantly—a growing difficulty in telling what’s real and what’s fake online. With social media amplifying misinformation, it’s never been more important to stay sharp and skeptical.

The conference also highlighted how the Philippine Army is shifting its approach from simple defense to true resilience. LtCol. Rod Quinto shared how the military is focusing on preparation, threat intelligence, and strategic response—reminding everyone that cyber resilience means staying effective even when attacks happen. It’s not just about building walls; it’s about bouncing back stronger.

Throughout DECODE 2025, one message kept coming up: cybersecurity is a team effort. Whether you’re a business owner, a student, or just someone who loves scrolling through your feed, being aware and educated is the best defense. Trend Micro’s mission is to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible to all, encouraging everyone to invest in their own digital safety.

In a world where technology is always evolving, DECODE 2025 was a reminder that we all have a role to play in keeping our online spaces secure. From sharing tips with friends to staying updated on the latest threats, every little bit helps.
