Globe Business to Enhance ACEN’s Security Operations Center

Globe Business to Enhance ACEN’s Security Operations Center

ACEN’s renewable energy plans are complex operations that require robust protection of critical infrastructure. As ACEN scales up its projects, the need for expert security management becomes paramount.

 

Globe Business’ Managed Security Operations Center (MSOC) solutions offer a comprehensive approach to managing ACEN’s sophisticated and ever-evolving security requirements. It ensures regulatory compliance, manages intricate Information Technology and Operational Technology environments, and responds to evolving cyber threats.

Globe Business and ACEN signing ceremony for the Managed Security Operations Center.

“We are thankful to ACEN for their trust. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge security solutions that support ACEN’s sustainable energy goals. We are here as their ally in ensuring business continuity in an increasingly hostile cyber landscape while reducing cost,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business.

 

Globe Business provides ACEN with access to skilled professionals with deep expertise and knowledge of the necessary platforms. Its MSOC offers 24x7x365 remote support, making security solutions more robust, effective, efficient, and reliable in safeguarding ACEN’s assets and data.

 

“Our efficient managed security services bring various benefits for companies like ACEN. It enhances the security posture of companies, complements their operational and infrastructure needs, and protects confidential customer data from breaches,” said Dizon.

 

“We already had a partnership in the past with Globe Business for Managed Detection and Response. With the signing of ACEN’s Managed Security Operations Center, for us, this is another step in strengthening the partnership, and we are very appreciative that we have Globe Business to rely on,” said Zeeshan Pervez, President of ACEN Shared Services.

 

Globe Business’ service implementation for ACEN was completed in July 2024.

 

Energy companies like ACEN are pivotal in ensuring that Filipinos have access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy. Despite the country’s growing population of 119 million, around 2 million households still lack access to dependable electricity.

 

The Philippine energy sector contributes nearly 3% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Although the nation has a lower energy consumption level compared to its Southeast Asian neighbors, it remains a net energy importer, producing over 50% of its energy consumption.

 

Together, Globe Business and ACEN are paving the way for a cleaner, greener future, demonstrating that robust security and sustainable energy can go hand in hand.

With the roll-out of the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion and the introduction of Open Finance frameworks, Globe Business has taken a pioneering step to position itself as a leader in digital enablement for the finance sector.

The first part of the series was designed to educate financial service institutions on the concept of Open Finance and its potential benefits for their businesses. The second webinar, slated later this month, will focus on fintech, improving backend efficiencies, leveraging CX to grow customer base, and building business resilience through cybersecurity.

 

“Globe Business is excited to help bring these opportunities to Philippine financial businesses. We commit to providing tailored solutions and technologies that your businesses need to succeed with your Open Finance journey,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business.

 

“As we embark on this journey of exploration and discovery, let us open our minds to the possibilities that lie ahead. We at Globe Business are truly excited to empower Filipino businesses with innovation that propels businesses towards growth and drives financial inclusion in the country,” she added.

 

The webinar addresses the specific needs of diverse subsegments within the finance sector, including banking and non-banking institutions, cooperatives, microfinance, insurance, and pawnshops.

 

This targeted approach ensures that the solutions and strategies discussed are applicable and actionable for businesses at various stages of digital maturity, tailoring insights to the unique challenges and opportunities each segment faces.

 

The series kicked off with insights from Anatoly “Jing” Gusto, Bank Officer V of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas; Imelda “Ida” Tiongson, President and CEO of Opal Portfolio Investments; and Alan Ainsworth, Open Finance Lead of the Cambridge Judge Business School. Each speaker brought a unique perspective on the framework's principles, its potential for innovation, and the practical challenges of adoption.

 

The discussions showed that financial institutions actively seek opportunities for upskilling to close gaps in their operations or discover innovative approaches to enhance their existing technology programs.

 

These businesses also seek resources to understand new financial frameworks, the best technological applications, and successful tech transformation stories. By integrating these insights and practices into their operations, they seek to boost their competitiveness in the market.

 

The "Breakthrough" webinar series represents a significant step forward in Globe Business' journey toward a more inclusive and technologically adept financial ecosystem.
