#TechPH - Guardians of the Digital World: How Eastern Communications Is Helping Filipinos Stay Safe Online
Most of us spend a huge chunk of our lives online, whether it’s for work, shopping, or just catching up with friends. But as our digital lives get busier, the threats lurking in cyberspace are getting smarter, faster, and harder to spot. That’s why Eastern Communications is stepping up, teaming with cybersecurity experts to help Filipinos protect what matters most.
In their latest “Thoughts on Tech” vodcast, Eastern brought together voices like Maez De Guzman from EY Global Delivery Services and Colonel Francel Padilla from the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Their message? Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT problem—it’s everyone’s business, and it’s now a matter of national defense.
Maez De Guzman put it perfectly: “We’re being attacked at machine speed, but we’re actually defending at human speed.” That means businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, need to rethink how they protect themselves. She recommends the Zero Trust framework—trust no one, verify everything. It’s a mindset shift, but it’s one that today’s technology can support, from micro segmentation to identity proxies.
Colonel Padilla added another layer, reminding us that cyber threats don’t respect borders. Digital protection isn’t just about keeping your company safe—it’s about securing the whole country. “If we have a secured country, we have a secured economy then,” she said. It’s a powerful reminder that our online safety is tied to the nation’s well-being.
Eastern Communications isn’t just talking about solutions—they’re delivering them. Their partnership with Nexusguard means local businesses can access DDoS-Protected Internet Direct Service, offering dedicated internet with 24/7 security. With DDoS attacks getting bigger and more frequent (some peaking at nearly 1 terabit per second!), having hybrid protection—cloud scalability plus on-premise responsiveness—is more important than ever.
For companies that want even more peace of mind, Eastern’s DDoS security solutions are available as standalone services. It’s all about keeping operations smooth, efficient, and worry-free, no matter how the threat landscape evolves.
Edsel Paglinawan, Eastern’s Chief Revenue and Experience Officer, sums it up: “We aim to empower enterprises to build digital resilience and strengthen the Philippines’ cybersecurity ecosystem. This is part of how we continue exceeding expectations and serving with malasakit.”
As cyber threats keep changing, Eastern Communications is proving that being a trusted tech partner means more than just providing internet—it’s about helping Filipinos stay connected, competitive, and safe in a world where AI and digital innovation are moving faster than ever.
