Globe Business showcases cybersecurity solutions in immersive 'CyberHeist 2023’

Globe Business opened its groundbreaking event "CyberHeist 2023," a three-day activity that highlights the vital role of cybersecurity in the digital age and how cybersecurity solutions can help organizations protect their data.

Held at The Globe Tower, CyberHeist 2023 features two main experiential components: The Cybersecurity Escape Rooms and Whiskey Business: Code on the Rocks.

“Globe Business is here to help customers build a roadmap so they can shift from a reactive to a proactive cybersecurity posture.  We want to help them strengthen their defenses by preemptively identifying security threats and vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate policies and processes to mitigate threats before they occur.” ~KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business

KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business

CyberHeist enables IT risk practitioners and cybersecurity professionals from various businesses the chance to first-hand experience realistic cyber breach scenarios in a secure setting. Whiskey Business: On the other hand, Code on the Rocks serves C-level executives and decision-makers, facilitating intelligent discussions with cybersecurity thought leaders over some excellent whiskey. Additionally, participants get to take part in interactive videos that are inspired by Bandersnatch and make choices about how to respond to cybersecurity assaults in real time.

The event showcases Globe Business’ wide array of cybersecurity solutions, covering every critical aspect of cybersecurity, including ZScaler, Palo Alto Networks, Samsung, Fortinet, Checkpoint, CyberArk, Tenable, Dell Technologies, NS Focus, WithSecure, and Yondu.

Mr. Marlon Cruz, Senior Director - Services and Healthcare Sector, Ms. KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business, and Mr. Cocoy Claravall, Head of Partner Ecosystem.

At the event, Globe officials led by Dizon, with Cocoy Claravall, Head of Partner Ecosystem, and Marlon Cruz, Senior Director - Services and Healthcare Sector, spoke about the ever-increasing threat of cybercrime to all businesses, irrespective of size or sector, and the crucial role that Globe Business plays in helping organizations proactively protect their digital assets.

CyberHeist 2023 underscores Globe's transformation from being a Telco to a TechCo, offering a wide range of technology solutions to enterprises. 

The State of Incident Response report done by Kroll, a financial and risk advisory firm, indicates that the Philippines is among countries in the Asia-Pacific region most affected by cyber incidents such as malware, phishing, and password attacks. These often result in data loss, business interruption, and intellectual property theft.

CyberHeist 2023 is a direct response to these growing threats and highlights Globe Business' commitment to being a trusted partner in securing enterprises from potential breaches and attacks.

Globe Business continues to innovate and expand its portfolio, utilizing its expertise to ensure that organizations can safely navigate the digital landscape. For more information on Globe Business and its cybersecurity solutions, visit www.globe.com.ph/business/enterprise/cybersecurity.
