Eastern joins Cloud service bandwagon

Companies of all sizes can now secure their business from basic to the most sophisticated DDoS attacks.

The latest Global Connectivity Index (GCI) has shown that the Philippines’ digital connectivity has improved from “starter” to “adopter” status as it was ranked 57 out of 79 countries in 2018.

This was reportedly due to the expanded smartphone and computer use, higher speed 4G coverage, and national planning with “cloud first policy” in government’s aim of reducing expenses through cloud technology.

Connectivity plays a vital role in businesses today as it allows companies to adapt and have efficient operations. With the transformation emerging in the business environment, security threats arise and flexibility becomes a challenge.

Meanwhile, Cloud service is starting to get recognized in the business landscape as a cost-effective method of storing and sharing company data and applications securely over the Internet instead of computer hard drive.

With this backdrop, Eastern Communications (EC) announced it has partnered with international cloud service provider Cloud Sigma to launch its public cloud solutions providing the full spectrum of infrastructure and IT Services.

EC has also aligned itself with Canada-based cybersecurity solutions provider DOSarrest with the aim of equipping Filipino companies with the right technology against cyber threats.

DOSarrest was founded in 2007 and has been mitigating Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS attacks for a global customer base with its leading-edge cloud-based DDoS protection.

With this partnership, companies of all sizes can now secure their business from basic to the most sophisticated DDoS attacks.

Eastern Communications said it has various cybersecurity solutions such as Web Application Firewall that blocks any Layer 7 threat like cross-site forgery, cross-site scripting, among others.

EC’s Content Delivery Network generates faster loading of a website, which saves companies money yet enhances website performance at the same time.

“It’s always been Eastern Communications’ High-Tech promise to provide the best and right solutions especially to businesses that aim for utmost productivity and efficiency without compromising security.
