“McAfee continues to focus on the global threat landscape’s most sophisticated cyberwarfare and cybercrime campaigns such as Shamoon. McAfee’s long-standing partnership with WSI has helped establish a robust cybersecurity program in the Philippines and we look forward to expanding our offerings to address increasingly complex cybersecurity risks and challenges,” said Gavin Struthers, Senior Vice President and President McAfee, Asia Pacific.
“The government’s bid to build the country’s cybersecurity infrastructure is a push in the right direction and we are committed to working closely with the government and the industry players in the Philippines to build a safer environment for all,” added Struthers.
“The Philippines is still plagued with a shortage of cybersecurity talents and increasing cybercrime incidents. To combat this challenge, organizations must adopt an integrated, multi-layer platform that allows businesses to seamlessly gain “intelligence” from every security technology available. With that, they will then be able to build their own local threat intelligence and create an IT environment that uses automated processes to handle security operational tasks,” said Daryush Ashjari, Head of Presales McAfee Asia Pacific.
“We understand the need for providing dependable security solutions to consumers and businesses. McAfee is one of the leading cybersecurity solution providers that WSI distributes to help meet this demand and protect consumers and businesses of all sizes from the latest malware and emerging online threats. “, said Juan G. Chua, president, WSI.
