MANILA, Philippines, October 14, 2025 – In celebration of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Globe Business is reintroducing its flagship thought leadership series, Technically Speaking, with an all-new format and a strong focus on cybersecurity. This series is designed to equip Philippine enterprises with the knowledge and strategies needed to build a secure and resilient future in the face of constant digital disruption and escalating cyber threats.
In today’s digital economy, where innovation and risk go hand in hand, Globe Business reminds local enterprises that the greatest competitive advantage is the courage to transform securely. With the Philippine ICT market projected to reach USD 45.67 billion by 2029, the stakes are high. However, a significant readiness gap remains, as only 6% of local enterprises have mature cybersecurity systems. This leaves many vulnerable to threats like phishing and ransomware, which are two of the fastest-growing threats in the country.
Globe Business has chosen the podcast medium for this new season of Technically Speaking to create a more personal and accessible experience for business leaders. The long-form, on-demand nature of podcasts allows for in-depth, conversational discussions that go beyond the surface of a typical webinar. This strategic pivot to a more relatable platform is Globe Business’s way of addressing customer concerns and making it easier to integrate critical cybersecurity knowledge into the busy schedules of C-suite executives and senior leaders.
The series is hosted by the Business Solutions Consulting team led by Marlon Cruz, AVP for Consulting & Architecture at Globe Business. At its core, his team focuses on solutions consultancy, working directly with enterprises to craft specialized ICT strategies in key areas such as cloud modernization, business solutions applications, data & analytics, and robust connectivity. With security as a non-negotiable core, they focus on helping businesses transform and innovate with confidence. Cruz’s role as host allows him to provide a public preview of the deep, actionable insights his team delivers, reinforcing the value of partnering with Globe Business to address specific challenges.
“The reality is that digital growth without cybersecurity is unsustainable,” said Cruz. “Our goal is to equip leaders not just with knowledge, but with a clear roadmap for resilience. By integrating security from the start, enterprises can pursue innovation with confidence, knowing they are prepared for the threats of tomorrow.”
Adding to this, KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business, highlights the company’s role as a trusted partner. With unparalleled access to the digital transformation challenges faced by businesses across various industries, including cybersecurity, Globe Business holds a unique vantage point—seeing both the macro trends of the evolving landscape and the granular details of real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience has allowed Globe to develop a wealth of proven solutions, case studies, and best practices that continue to grow, strengthening its credibility.
“Our commitment to our partners is to serve as a strategic guide on their journey, fueled by our continuous learning from the field,” said Dizon. “This new podcast format is a direct reflection of that dedication, ensuring we deliver meaningful insights and build a more resilient digital Philippines, one enterprise at a time.”
The series kicked off on October 7 with a session on Data Analytics, highlighting how a strong data foundation, when paired with integrated security, enables trusted insights that fuel smarter decisions and sustained growth. The spotlight will turn to Integrated Cyber Resilience on October 16, providing enterprises with the tools to withstand and recover from attacks while protecting customer trust and ensuring business continuity. Future sessions will explore Enterprise AI governance on October 23 and Cloud Modernization on November 12, giving leaders a comprehensive framework for building secure and scalable digital strategies.
Globe Business invites enterprises to take part in the remaining Technically Speaking sessions this October and begin charting their path to resilience. Beyond the webinars, organizations are also encouraged to work closely with Globe Business in shaping secure, future-ready strategies that will allow them to thrive in the face of disruption.
