Press Release
Background/Description of the Disclosure

The NOW Group has announced the launch of three new model solutions aimed at protecting critical infrastructure within key industries that are currently vulnerable. These ongoing solutions are designed to address and mitigate the widespread and unchecked security breaches affecting physical and digital infrastructures.

NOW Corp and NOW Telecom are jointly implementing a secure and seamless integration of a digital bank's value chain that capitalizes on office and remote workforces, a combined human-machine cybersecurity prevention program for a large enterprise, and just recently, a technology upgrade contract from an American BPO that require complete sensor and video surveillance solutions to monitor the movement of data, objects, and people connected to its U.S. command and control headquarters -- all using only trusted equipment as defined by the U.S. government.

The "Respond and Replace" program is NOW group's answer to the urgent call of enterprises and governments belonging to the free world whose offices and factories are located in the Indo-Pacific region, requiring complete end-to-end solutions to confront threats to physical and digital critical infrastructures.

NOW recently launched "TODAY," an acronym for "Technologies on Demand Assist You," specifically tasked with managing the Respond and Replace program. A Cyber Threat Assessment is designed to identify and address vulnerabilities in both private and public sector organizations. A set of comprehensive solutions follow this to counteract and protect against cyber threats, given NOW’s strategic alliances with global tech giants such as CISCO, Nokia, Fortinet, Mangata, OneWeb, Celona, and other technology partners in collaboration with the Philippine Military, the Cybercrime Investigation Coordinating Center (CICC), Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), UnionBank of the Philippines, and other organizations.

This strategic program of NOW brings together global tech and telecom giants aligned with the Trusted Network initiative to work only with trusted vendors in building and maintaining telecommunications and infrastructure, aiming to minimize vulnerabilities that malign actors could exploit. Globally, around 60 nations are part of the Trusted Network initiative, including the U.S., United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and India; around 180 telecom companies including Telstra of Australia, SK Telecom & K.T. of South Korea, Reliance Jio of India, Rakuten and Softbank of Japan, and Telus & Bell of Canada, and global technology partners like CISCO, Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung – all forging a solid alliance committed to securing their data privacy and national security.
