With the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, it has become an imperative for enterprises to employ Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans to ensure continued operations given these uncertain times.
In support, ePLDT – the ICT arm of PLDT Enterprise, has bolstered its portfolio to cater to businesses via its strategic partnership with Acronis. Globally renowned for setting the standard for cyber protection, Acronis offers its award-winning AI-based Active Protection technology, blockchain-based authentication and unique hybrid-cloud architecture to protect all data in any environment – including physical, virtual, cloud, mobile workloads and applications – all at a low and predictable cost. Both organizations have strengthened their portfolio and footprint following the partnership on marketing and technology.
According to Acronis’ just-released Cyber Readiness Report 2020, 92% of global companies adopted new technologies to enable remote work. Same research shows 50% of global companies have encountered cyberattacks at least once a week in the past few months. Incidents of fake websites, phishing attacks, malware, and other cybercrimes are making it critical for enterprises to ensure their preparedness for this new way of working and be able to respond to disruptions – from the minor inconveniences to those with more disastrous consequences.
Through the partnership, ePLDT will be offering solutions that will leverage on the Acronis Cyber Cloud – a platform that enables service providers to deliver data protection in an easy, efficient and secure way. One solution such as Data Back-up and Recovery Solution, customers can gain access to hybrid cloud backup, recovery and AI-powered anti-malware, manageable from a single, comprehensive console.
ePLDT and Acronis has recently formalized their partnership with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, with the said new products set to be introduced subsequently.
