Cyber security should no longer be viewed as ‘optional’, especially in today’s constantly changing landscape. As cyber threats become more complex, we at the Enterprise Group assure our customers that we can provide them with equally evolving and sophisticated services that can keep them protected, said Jovy Hernandez, SVP & Head of PLDT and Smart Enterprise Groups.

ePLDT unveiled their security ecosystem that houses three pillars. The first one covers the cyber-security consultation that includes risk management, and vulnerability assessment. The second pillar covers the management of security platforms by the ePLDT's pool of experts. And lastly, the third pillar covers the incident response that includes the proactive monitoring and response to cyberattacks.

The threats we all face are evolving and becoming more advanced at an alarmingly rapid rate. It is critical that we are ready and we accept that no company or individual is 100% safe from any breach. Thus, as business leaders and protectors of your organizations, you can no longer afford to be ill-prepared in today’s world. Preparedness means being ready before, during and after an attack, said Nerisse Ramos, SVP and Chief Operating Officer of ePLDT Group.
