VST ECS strengthens enterprise portfolio, expands cybersecurity offerings through partnership with Akamai

VST ECS Phils., Inc., the country’s leading ICT distributor, is expanding its enterprise technology  portfolio through a new partnership with Akamai Technologies, the cloud and security company  that powers and protects businesses online. The appointment strengthens VST ECS’s portfolio  with advanced cybersecurity and cloud capabilities, giving its channel partners and customers  broader access to enterprise-grade digital protection solutions. 

As organizations across the Philippines become increasingly dependent on cloud environments,  digital platforms, APIs, and connected applications, cybersecurity has become a critical business  priority. Through this partnership, VST ECS now offers Akamai’s security solutions — including  application and API security, DDoS protection, Zero Trust security, microsegmentation, bot  protection, DNS security, and cloud security — as part of its expanded enterprise solutions  portfolio. 

This addition allows VST ECS to support a wider range of industries: helping banks and financial  institutions protect digital banking platforms and APIs, enabling retail and e-commerce businesses  to safeguard online transactions and manage malicious bot activity, and strengthening the  resilience of citizen-facing digital services for government and public-sector organizations. For  enterprises operating hybrid and multicloud environments — including BPOs,  telecommunications companies, and healthcare organizations — VST ECS can now also offer  Zero Trust and microsegmentation capabilities that help strengthen access controls and limit the  movement of threats across critical systems. 

“Cybersecurity has become a fundamental business priority as organizations become  increasingly dependent on digital platforms, cloud environments, and connected applications,”  said Jimmy Go, President and CEO of VST ECS Phils., Inc. “Our partnership with Akamai gives  our customers and partners access to technologies that can help protect critical digital assets,  strengthen cyber resilience, and support the secure growth of their businesses.” 

Through this appointment, Akamai’s portfolio of cybersecurity solutions becomes more accessible  to organizations across the country, leveraging VST ECS’s expansive and highly diversified  channel ecosystem. 

“Strengthening our partnership with VST ECS in the Philippines as we continue to expand  Akamai’s reach and support for customers and partners is important,” said Gordon Woo, Regional  Sales Director, Akamai Technologies. “With organizations facing an increasingly complex security  landscape, our channel ecosystem plays an important role in helping customers protect their  applications, APIs, infrastructure, and digital experiences. Together with VST ECS, we look 

forward to enabling our partners with the technology, expertise and support they need to address  these evolving customer requirements and create new opportunities for growth.” 

The partnership reflects VST ECS’s continued expansion of its enterprise portfolio to help  organizations secure, build, and scale their digital operations, while reinforcing Akamai’s  commitment to supporting the resilience and performance today’s connected environments  require.
