Globe to sustain hefty investments in cybersecurityMANILA, Philippines — Telco giant Globe Telecom Inc. would sustain its multi-billion dollar investment in cybersecurity, which has become more important amid the proliferation of spams and hacking during the pandemic. “We have been investing this much without any promise of ROI (return of investment),” Bonifacio said. Parts of those investment were used to build what Bonifacio said could be the largest cybersecurity team in the country. Bonifacio said Globe has increased its cybersecurity and privacy manpower to “almost a hundred people,” growing by 5.8x from just 18 people before he joined the telco company. This year alone, the Ayala-led telco successfully intercepted close to 71 million spam messages.
