CyberInt Comes to PH as IPV Network brings world leader in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a topic most relevant today than ever before. As more and newer technologies and machines are invented and propagate, as more data become essential and relevant, cybersecurity will increasingly be important.

CyberInt: Amir Ofek, a retired captain in the elite Israel Defense Forces Intelligence Unit and now the CEO of Cyberint, a leading international cyber security firm that offers cutting-edge cyber defense solutions at the media launch held at New World Hotel in Makati yesterday. CyberInt is now available in the Philippines through IPV Network for businesses in the financial industry, such as banks and accounting firms, gaming industry, e-commerce players and key utilities companies.

Indeed, no business is safe from cyber threats. From stealing data, to defacing online assets, to the installation of malware on personal computers, companies of all types and sizes need to take both reactive and proactive measures to keep themselves protected.

We don't have to look far. Just recently, the Philippines' Commission on Elections' (COMELEC) voters' data were hacked and exposed to the public. The data may be basic but these are private information of individuals who are now exposed to a higher risk of identity theft, to say the least.

CyberInt Comes to the Philippines

And in this times of insecurity, this is where Cyberint becomes relevant to the times. Cyberint is a leading international cyber security firm that offers cutting-edge cyber security solutions. As the head cyber consultant to the Bank of Israel, CyberInt is the only company of its kind that offers a holistic approach to protection beyond the perimeter.

In a recent press conference, CyberInt made its official entry into the country as represented by IPV Network.

“We (IPV Network) are looking forward to partnering with Cyberint to help Philippine companies and organizations provide the highest level of cybersecurity for their operations. As the digital and analog world converges, the internet becomes a much bigger part of our everyday lives. This brings increased cyber risk to Philippine companies and their customers thus the demand for best in class solutions to protect the integrity of a companies operations and data,” shared Mr. Ramos at the press launch

IPV Network CEO, Miguel Ramos, first learned about CyberInt during a business trip to Tel Aviv, Israel, last 2015 where he met Amir Ofek, the CEO of CyberInt. With the growth of the Philippine economy and CyberInt’s targeted move into Western Europe and Asia, the company heads saw a vision of introducing world-class cyber security standards to the Philippines.

"The Asia Pacific market, specifically the Philippines, is considered a strategic market for the entry of CyberInt. With the rise of cyber crime in the Philippines that leverages on the strong social media activity in the country, we see a great need for cyber protection beyond the perimeter of organizations based there. Implementing the right cyber risk strategy, we will ensure that organizations are vigilant when the next cyber attack arrives, and we will be proactive about their cybersecurity planning. Globe is at the forefront of this approach with CyberInt support working closely with Globe management to ensure they are one step ahead with their innovative cyber approach. We are also partnering with IPV Network to help promote cyber protection beyond the perimeter to other organizations across the Philippines,” shares Amir Ofek 

CyberInt’s most immediate prospective clients would range from those in the financial industry, such as banks and accounting firms, to those in the gaming industry, ecommerce players and key utilities companies. Any company, however, with digital assets and sensitive information is prone to online attacks and must take both precautionary and preventive measures to keep itself safe.

Through this partnership between IPV Network and CyberInt, Filipino companies will have the means to do so, with targeted intelligence, targeted services, and targeted protection that goes beyond the perimeter.
