Aboitiz CISO Leads Philippine Giant’s Digital Transformation

The Aboitiz Group stands as one of Southeast Asia's most significant conglomerates, with a remarkable journey spanning over a century from its origins in Philippine agriculture. Today, the organisation operates across 44 business units, positioning itself as the Philippines’ first techglomerate while maintaining substantial interests in power generation, banking, food, land, and infrastructure development.

The company’s evolution reflects its adaptive capability, transitioning from traditional operations to technology-enabled growth. Its power generation arm is actively working toward a 50-50 split between renewable and thermal power capacity by 2030, while its banking division has evolved from conventional branch operations to cloud-enabled digital banking powered by data science and AI.

Aboitiz’s technology integration spans all sectors of their operations. Its data science and AI division develops models for government, healthcare and financial services, achieving notable successes such as 86% accuracy in fraud detection within its banking operations. The company’s infrastructure division manages multiple airports, while its manufacturing facilities are being modernised with digital systems enabling real-time monitoring. This comprehensive digital transformation is secured through a data-centric security approach, protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive information across their diverse business portfolio while maintaining their commitment to advancing business and communities through technological innovation.
