Globe Business Boosts Cybersecurity to Combat Digital Threats

Manila, Philippines – Globe Business is ramping up its cybersecurity initiatives, equipping businesses with tools to protect against the rising complexity of cyber threats in an increasingly digital economy.

With cybercrime costs reaching $8 trillion globally in 2023 and 13 million attacks recorded in Southeast Asia, the urgency for robust cybersecurity measures has never been greater. Locally, one in four Filipino firms faces threats such as malware, phishing, and password-related breaches, exacerbated by the prevalence of bring-your-own-device practices in hybrid work setups.

“Our goal is to not only protect against today’s threats but also prepare businesses for the cyber challenges of tomorrow,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business. “With Globe Business’ various initiatives and expanded suite of cybersecurity solutions, we’re empowering companies to confidently lead in the digital space, ensuring their data and operations remain secure.”

Empowering Businesses Through Key Initiatives

To address these challenges, Globe Business has introduced several programs:

• Crack the Code Cybersecurity Series: This year-long series provides businesses with insights into Globe’s 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities, along with practical solutions for securing remote workforces and critical infrastructure. The final session is set for November in Tagaytay for South Luzon clients.
• Technically Speaking: Through both online and in-person sessions, this initiative simplifies complex tech topics, helping enterprises navigate digital challenges and leverage practical solutions for growth.
• Ayala Cybersecurity Day: A collaborative effort with Ayala Corporation and ACEN, this event highlighted critical topics such as data privacy, governance, AI in cybersecurity, and the Philippine cybersecurity landscape.
• Breakthrough Masterclasses: A webinar series offering deep dives into cybersecurity best practices. The latest session was held on November 13, 2024, following its debut in August.

Globe Business’ cybersecurity offerings encompass user, network, and cloud protection, backed by SOC monitoring and tailored protocols to safeguard against unauthorized access. It also assists companies with compliance to global standards such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.

A Commitment to Building Resilience

Globe Business’ initiatives align with its broader commitment to fostering economic growth through digital security. Marlon Cruz, Senior Director of Business Solutions Consultancy at Globe Business, emphasized the importance of collaboration during the Crack the Code series, saying, “By empowering enterprises with insights and solutions, we are enabling them to confidently secure their digital environments.”

As Globe Business expands its cybersecurity services with industry-leading partners, it remains steadfast in its mission to equip organizations with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing digital economy.
