PLDT Enterprise, together with its ICT arm ePLDT, is calling on businesses to strengthen and modernize their defense against rising cyber threats by combining employee awareness with advanced technology.
“Fraud schemes like phishing, smishing, vishing, and other similar scams continue to increase in the Philippines,” said Alexis Bernardino, field CISO and product head of Cybersecurity of PLDT Enterprise and ePLDT. “Given all these dangers, we continue to empower our clients’ workforce to become the first line of defense against cyber threats.”
With the Philippines being one of the most active digital markets, businesses face growing risks from scams such as fake CEO messages, spoofed HR announcements, and urgent payment requests. Even a simple step, like calling to verify identities directly through the telco network, provides an added layer of security for customers.
To address these challenges, PLDT Enterprise and ePLDT offer solutions that protect employee devices and data, enhance organizational security, and deploy AI-enabled managed services to detect and stop cyberattacks. Their team of certified experts provides threat intelligence, rapid response, and tailored guidance for clients, along with 24/7 monitoring.
Silent Authentication, one of PLDT Enterprise’s key offerings, allows secure, seamless digital transactions without passwords or one-time PINs. It enables merchants to verify customer identities directly through the telco network, adding another layer of protection.
PLDT Enterprise emphasizes that effective cybersecurity is both a technology and a human effort. By fostering awareness and vigilance among employees while providing advanced tools and expert support, businesses can better guard against evolving digital threats.
“Our goal is to inspire proactive action,” Bernardino said, “so businesses can stay ahead of cyber risks and keep their operations secure.”
