GLOBE BUSINESS DOUBLES DOWN ON CYBERSECURITY, EMPOWERS BUSINESSES TO SHIELD THEMSELVES AGAINST DIGITAL THREATS

3 December 2024

Globe Business remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding the digital landscape for organizations of all sizes. Building on the momentum of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the brand strengthens its comprehensive cybersecurity offerings, aimed at fortifying enterprises against the rising complexity and scale of today’s cyber threats.

In 2023 alone, the estimated global cost of cybercrime reached $8 trillion, with about 13 million attacks recorded in Southeast Asia. Locally, one in four Filipino firms faced threats such as malware, phishing, and password-related breaches. This is driven by the rise of bring-your-own-device practices in hybrid work environments and new technologies that introduce additional points of vulnerability.

“Our goal is to not only protect against today’s threats but also prepare businesses for the cyber challenges of tomorrow. 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,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business.

Responding to the urgency of the situation, Globe Business rolled out several initiatives designed to empower businesses to protect their digital environments. These include:

  • Crack the Code Cybersecurity Series

The series provides in-depth insights into Globe’s Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities, and practical solutions for securing remote workforces and protecting critical infrastructure.

The sixth and final session is scheduled this November in Tagaytay for South Luzon clients. The year-long initiative highlights Globe Business’s sustained efforts to broaden its cybersecurity outreach and reinforce its advocacy across the country’s different regions.

  • Technically Speaking

Technically Speaking is a series of informative sessions, both online and on-ground, designed to help enterprises navigate the digital landscape and achieve their goals. By simplifying complex topics in the area of information and communications technology, the sessions aim to empower businesses with practical tech solutions they need to thrive in a tech-forward world.

  • Ayala Cybersecurity Day

This was a collaboration among Ayala Corporation, ACEN, and Globe Business in support of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Discussions focused on data privacy, the Philippine cybersecurity landscape, governance, security risks, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing digital defenses.

To enrich the experience, Globe Business introduced interactive activities, adding an experiential element to the event. A dedicated consultation room was also provided to the participants for personalized guidance on the brand’s cybersecurity solutions.

  • Breakthrough Masterclasses

This webinar series provides existing clients with a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity’s vital role in today’s digital landscape. This exclusive opportunity allows attendees to learn how to safeguard their valuable data, mitigate emerging threats, and build resilient digital defense systems. Delivered via live Zoom sessions, the Breakthrough Masterclasses continued with its second installment last November 13, 2024, following its successful debut on August 7, 2024.

Globe Business’ robust suite of cybersecurity offerings covers user, network, and cloud protection,  backed by the SOC for 24/7 support. Tailored endpoint and network security protocols help organizations prevent unauthorized access, while the SOC ensures constant vigilance.

Likewise, Globe Business’ cybersecurity portfolio provides compliance support, assisting organizations in meeting regulatory standards like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

As it expands its suite of protections, backed by industry-leading partners, Globe Business empowers organizations to confidently secure their digital ecosystems, equipping them to thrive in an increasingly dynamic digital economy.
