    See How PBCOM Accelerated Secure Banking with 8×8

    This asset highlights how Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM), a universal bank in Manila with nearly 100 branches and a strong digital presence, partnered with 8×8 to modernise critical customer communications. The focus was on improving OTP delivery, operational messaging, and the overall speed and reliability of digital banking interactions.

    What you’ll learn

    • Why delayed OTP delivery was affecting transaction success and customer experience at PBCOM.
    • How 8×8 SMS API helped deliver OTPs in 2–3 seconds.
    • How automated SMS replaced slower, labour-intensive outbound calls for application error notifications.
    • How the bank completed integration in less than three weeks, using its existing in-house messaging platform.

    Why this matters

    For banks, secure communication is not just an operational issue. It directly affects transaction completion, customer trust, and digital adoption. In the PBCOM story, rapid OTP delivery helped reduce failed logins, abandoned sessions, and customer frustration, while faster operational messaging improved internal efficiency and responsiveness.

    Key outcomes featured

    The 8×8 case study tied to this video highlights several business outcomes: faster transaction completion through near-instant OTPs, a significant drop in OTP-related complaints, improved account opening completion through timely notifications, and time savings from replacing manual calls with SMS alerts.

  • Buyer’s Guide to OT Security

    Buyer’s Guide to OT Security

    Six out of ten OT organizations experienced at least three intrusions in the past year, yet many of the industrial networks running power grids, water systems, and factory floors were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. Fortinet’s Buyer’s Guide to OT Security is a practical, no-nonsense resource for CISOs and security leaders who have inherited OT responsibility and are not sure where to start.

    The guide walks through five essential considerations, from network segmentation and asset visibility to SOC integration and OT-specific threat intelligence, and arms readers with the exact questions to ask vendors when evaluating solutions. With the number of CISOs overseeing OT infrastructure having tripled in just two years, the stakes have never been higher, and the margin for error has never been smaller. If your security strategy was built for IT and you are now responsible for operational technology too, this guide was written for you.

  • Preparing for the Quantum Era: Your Network Against Emerging Cryptographic Threats

    Preparing for the Quantum Era: Your Network Against Emerging Cryptographic Threats

    Quantum computing is moving quickly from theory to reality—and with it comes a new class of risk. Once available, quantum computers will be able to break public-key cryptography standards such as RSA and ECC, threatening your digital infrastructure and data. For organizations like financial institutions, healthcare, and government storing sensitive data long term, the danger is even greater: attackers can capture encrypted traffic now and decrypt it later, a tactic known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HDNL) attacks. 

    Fortinet is approaching quantum readiness as a platform capability rather than a single feature, embedding NIST-standardized Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) across the Fortinet security portfolio, enabling QKD integration for high-assurance links, and supporting mandatory Hybrid Mode to provide a safe transition path for customers as PQC adoption accelerates. Combined with hardware-accelerated performance and consistent management, these capabilities allow organizations to begin securing their data today while preparing for the post-quantum landscape ahead.

    This webinar will cut through the hype to show you what quantum-safe security means for your day-to-day operations and how to start preparing.
