With this, ePLDT brings customers a safe and more secure internet experience for residential, mobile, and corporate users of DNS security.
“Today’s cybercriminals and the threats they pose are ever growing in size. They have hundreds of ways to compromise DNS servers and it could lead to loss of personal information of users and mission-critical data of companies. We at ePLDT are committed to delivering groundbreaking and innovative digital solutions to our customers, while ensuring their security and protection online,” says Nerisse Ramos, ePLDT Group Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Considered as the phonebook of the internet, the DNS (domain name system) matches web addresses into browsers with an IP address in order to for them to land on the correct website. This particular function is oftentimes the reason why DNS is prone to attacks by cybercriminals, redirecting users to malicious websites.
