With ePLDT, clients can fortify their digital transformation with customized cybersecurity solutions
In today’s dynamic platform-heavy world, businesses, institutions, organizations, and even governments face limitless opportunities — but also 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 — a true 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 exactly 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 unpreparedness in 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 of them are 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 right defenses in place before an attack is an 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 the back seat across 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.”
