Globe Business champions cybersecurity for SMEs with integrated GFiber Broadband – Free Vulnerability Assessment solution
As more businesses embrace digital operations and AI-driven tools, cybersecurity is becoming just as important as connectivity itself. For many small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the challenge is finding a way to grow securely in an environment where they face silent, invisible digital threats.
This protection is vital because SMEs are the backbone of local communities, generating millions of jobs and driving national economic growth. Yet, as these businesses shift online, cyberattacks targeting them have surged by up to 325% because automated bots continuously scan the internet for unlocked digital doors, regardless of a company’s name or size.
In the latest installment of The Blueprint by Globe, Globe Business highlights that GFiber Broadband plans now include a Free Vulnerability Assessment Scan (VA) to help businesses build a more secure digital foundation. By combining high-speed connectivity with proactive cybersecurity directly into everyday internet connectivity, Globe Business is changing the paradigm. Cybersecurity should not be viewed as an expensive cost center, but should instead be embedded directly into an organization’s everyday business operations. This democratizes protection regardless of business size and digital maturity.
This free protective service is bundled with GFiber Broadband plans starting at Plan 1299 and extending through Plans 1499, 1999, 2499, and 2999, with the number of bundled Vulnerability Assessment scans increasing with each plan tier. Each scan can save a business PHP 4,500, giving Filipino entrepreneurs immediate savings they can reinvest back into their operations.
“No entrepreneur, regardless of their size, should have to risk their entire life’s work just because cybersecurity feels too expensive or too complicated,” said KD Dizon, Globe Chief Marketing Officer. “By embedding proactive protection directly into their everyday business connection, we are helping local enterprises move past the era of basic connectivity and transition toward intelligent resilience, ensuring that as their business scales, their protection scales with it.”
The integrated Free VA Scan serves as a critical digital diagnostic tool, performing three essential functions for a business. First, it detects security vulnerabilities. It identifies weaknesses across the entire network, website, and devices to protect sensitive customer data before a breach can happen. Second, it minimizes costly downtime. It prevents operations from halting and sales from stopping due to malware infections or network disruptions. Third, it drives IT efficiency. By mapping out exact digital vulnerabilities, it eliminates the critical guesswork, allowing them to allocate their IT budgets precisely where they are needed most rather than wasting resources.
The solution also supports businesses across different industries. For e-commerce and retail companies, it helps secure online transactions and customer payment data. Healthcare providers can better protect sensitive patient information, while financial institutions and legal firms can strengthen the security of confidential records, contracts, and digital communications. Hotels, restaurants, and cafes can also help safeguard guest information, payment systems, and online transactions while maintaining reliable connectivity.
Through solutions that combine everyday business broadband with robust, built-in security, Globe Business continues to strengthen its role as a trusted partner in intelligent transformation, helping Philippine businesses build secure digital platforms to innovate, scale, and succeed safely in the digital economy. #
