Every year, the Cyber Security Operations Group (CSOG) from PLDT and Smart convenes with its technology providers. This annual summit is not just a meeting; it is a strategic alignment of processes and focus areas to fortify the cybersecurity defenses of the PLDT Group. The aim? To safeguard customers from the ever-looming threat of cyber-attacks.
As Chief Information Security Officer Angel Redoble asserts, these regular interactions with vendors are pivotal. PLDT and Smart, as integral components of the cybersecurity value chain, must ascertain that their solution providers are armed with the requisite technology and skills. This is not just about customer protection, but a matter of national security.
The CSOG summit provides a platform to spotlight the priority areas within the PLDT Group’s cybersecurity ecosystem that require enhanced solutions. In this year's summit, CSOG underscored the importance of threat intelligence sharing. It's all about stopping an attack before it even happens.
"Prevention is better than cure," declares Redoble. He urges partners to remain vigilant, informing the CSOG of potential vulnerabilities in their systems. Collaboration is key to formulating a solution before threat actors exploit these vulnerabilities.
In 2023, with its robust cybersecurity infrastructure, the PLDT Group successfully warded off over 16 billion attempted cyber-attacks. More than 65 million SMShing messages were blocked, and over 315,000 mobile numbers were blacklisted from the Smart network.
PLDT and Smart's collaborations with key partners to enhance their digital infrastructure form an integral part of their broader efforts to shield customers from threats and attacks.
These cybersecurity efforts are anchored in the PLDT Group’s customer-centric culture. They aim to deliver meaningful connections and experiences for a fuller life, free from the worry of cyber threats.
As technology continues to evolve, so do the threats it brings. PLDT and Smart, with their forward-thinking approach, are ready to tackle these challenges head-on.
The CSOG, with its focus on ongoing collaboration and threat intelligence, is at the forefront of this cyber defense.
Through their unwavering commitment to cybersecurity, PLDT and Smart continue to lead the way in digital protection. Their strategic collaborations and proactive approach to threat prevention ensure not just the safety of their customers, but the security of our digital world.
