Vectra AI, the leader in AI-based XDR (extended detection and response), announced the expansion of its long-term partnership with Globe Telecom, the largest mobile network provider in the Philippines.
This collaboration aims to strengthen Globe Telecom’s cybersecurity operations across its network. Key improvements from this partnership have enabled Globe Telecom to reduce alert noise by 99% and significantly improve its security posture, ensuring reliable services to over 80 million customers.
By leveraging Vectra AI solutions, Globe Telecom cleared a fog of cyber threats from its vast infrastructure in one year. The AI-powered Attack Signal Intelligence™ integration provided detailed insights previously lacking across its broader network, while network detection and response combined with CrowdStrike’s EDR provided comprehensive visibility into network and endpoint activities.
After implementing Vectra AI’s solutions, Globe’s incident response time was reduced to 3.5 hours, with a 99% reduction in noise and escalations.
With a better understanding of their network activity, Globe Telecom’s security team was able to maintain tighter control over their environment. Additionally, having a complete view of east-west traffic and lateral movement allowed them to uncover hidden threats before damage could occur.
As an additional layer of defense, Vectra’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service provided around-the-clock support, offering continuous alert management, threat hunting and expert analysis. With an additional eye on its network, Vectra MDR secured the frontline, allowing the Globe Telecom team to focus on high-priority alerts that require immediate action.
A recent report from Vectra AI found that 73% of security professionals in APAC believe their organization may have been unknowingly compromised due to alert overload. Additionally, there is a growing disconnect between SOC practitioners and security vendors, with many (45%) expressing dissatisfaction with their current tools.

With Vectra in place, the light began to come on. Its automation and filtering capabilities allowed us to focus on the most important threats, making our team more effective and efficient in our response. The MDR aspect has been a key differentiator for us. Vectra’s MDR team and their threat hunting expertise have been invaluable in helping us secure our environment. What really stands out about Vectra AI is the strong relationship we’ve built. They have always been a supportive partner, even in difficult times, and we truly appreciate it.
Aylwin Lam, Regional Director of Vectra AI Asia

Vectra AI is proud to provide real-time visibility and MDR services to Globe Telecom, helping eliminate threats and maintain reliable services for its 80 million customers.
