'Peace of mind' is the ultimate goal of cybersecurity

In today's dynamic platform-heavy world, businesses, institutions, organizations, and even governments face limitless opportunities and an ever-present threat of cyberattacks. These lurking, silent dangers have proved many times that they can and will strike without warning, undermining progress and eroding hard-won trust. 

 

Peace of mind? It may remain out of reach. And the hard truth? No one is immune.

 

"Whether you're a retail startup, a global corporation, or a government agency, the question isn't IF you'll be targeted, but when," says Alex Bernardino, ePLDT's Chief Cybersecurity Evangelist. But sharing this truth isn't about sparking fear — it's ultimately about moving to take the right action. It's about implementing a proactive approach that combines expertise, foresight, and rigorous management — an actual necessity in a world where unchecked risks can cripple organizations."

 

That's where ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT, steps in. As the country's premier digital transformation partner of enterprises, it faces these challenges head-on.  It empowers businesses with solutions designed strictly for what they need, allowing them to focus on what they do best — while growing with protection, confidence, and resilience, with peace of mind intact.

 

Addressing cybersecurity

"When it comes to cybersecurity, a one-size-fits-all approach is destined to fail," says Mr. Bernardino. "Hackers are evolving, using increasingly sophisticated tools — some even integrating AI into their attacks. We're seeing more targeted, harder-to-detect breaches that demand proactive, adaptive safeguards."

 

His team of cybersecurity professionals fully knows that preparedness in these circumstances can mean the difference between bouncing back and catastrophic failure. "In one instance, a financial client was just weeks away from executing their cyber resilience strategy when they were breached. We responded swiftly, but the key takeaway is this: having the proper defenses before an attack is imperative.

 

For those who don't want to spend another day blind to risks and want to assess their current vulnerabilities today, ePLDT offers a great starting point: Free Security Posture Assessments. 

 

From there, businesses can opt for more comprehensive services like Governance Risk Compliance, Vulnerability Assessments, Penetration Testing, Security Source Code Reviews, and Information Security Management, all of which comply with the highest international standards. 

 

They can also outsource their monitoring, alerting, incident analysis, response, and threat intelligence requirements to ePLDT, allowing them to take a backseat to operations and keep their eyes on the way forward.

 

"Having our 'techspertise' on your side," Bernardino adds, "is like activating an advanced armor that shields your data, resources, and reputation from the inside out, 24/7."

 

Cybersecurity that works

If you work in banking or healthcare, ePLDT's Incident Response and Managed Security Services deliver dependable, 24/7 protection, safeguarding your organization and your customers' sensitive data. 

 

For retail and hospitality businesses, ePLDT's Cloud Security and Data Center Protection offer comprehensive control to anticipate potential threats. Solutions like Managed Detection and Response and DDoS Mitigation help ensure uninterrupted operations in the event of a cyberattack.  

 

And if you're a government agency beginning your digital transformation, ePLDT assists in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities during your tech advancements, fortifying defenses as cyberattacks become increasingly common. 

 

 

It's about people and relationships

Need help to stay ahead of new malware threats with personalized threat intelligence reports? Want to strengthen your internal response capabilities or ensure full compliance with industry governance regulations? ePLDT's team works with you to make the process more efficient and seamless while fully committing to protecting what you're building at every step.

 

This advantage is further amplified by ePLDT's strategic partnerships with major global tech giants. As Alex Bernardino highlights, ePLDT collaborates with industry leaders like Palo Alto, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, and AWS, creating a robust ecosystem of critical capabilities that leverage each partner's strengths. Together, they deliver tailored, outcome-driven solutions to address pain points, ensuring you're equipped with adaptive, cutting-edge security you can always rely on.

 

Don't wait

"At the end of the day, there's no such thing as 100% security," says Bernardino. "But with the right partner, expertise, and ecosystem of tools, you can take the best possible action, so you don't have to live in fear of long-term damage."

 

No matter your industry or role, cybersecurity must be a top priority. With ePLDT's managed services, you'll get secure by designing solutions to protect what matters most, giving you the peace of mind to grow, innovate, and succeed in your digital transformation journey.

 

It's time to empower your business to thrive in today's fast-changing digital world with the confidence and peace of mind that comes from being protected at every step.
