In a digital world where scams evolve faster than our passwords, Filipinos are constantly seeking safer ways to transact online. This is why PLDT Enterprise is stepping up its cybersecurity game. The corporate arm of PLDT has partnered with global tech innovator Nabstract to introduce SmartSafe SilentAccess—a new solution designed to authenticate users without relying on one-time passwords. For Filipinos tired of worrying about phishing scams, this could be a game-changer.
A New Era of Secure, OTP-Free Authentication
As digital transactions continue to rise, so do incidents of cyber fraud. Traditional OTPs sent via SMS have become common targets for phishing, SIM swaps, and social engineering scams. To address this, PLDT Enterprise is rolling out SilentAccess, the flagship solution of the soon-to-launch SmartSafe fraud management API suite.
SilentAccess allows real-time, direct user verification through the Smart network. Instead of waiting for a text message, users are authenticated seamlessly in the background—making login and checkout experiences faster and much more secure.
During the launch, PLDT Enterprise executives shared that this new tool is designed to benefit industries like banking, fintech, e-commerce, and even SMEs that want to safeguard customer transactions. As Nico Alcoseba, First Vice President and Head of Product Management at PLDT Enterprise, emphasized, the partnership is part of their mission to innovate responsibly and build digital trust. He explained that with their GSMA Open Gateway API Certification, PLDT Enterprise is taking bold steps in protecting businesses with seamless and fraud-resistant technology.
How the Partnership with Nabstract Strengthens Security
Nabstract, known for its expertise in secure network exposure, plays a major role in enabling SilentAccess. Through Smart’s Service Exposure Platform (SEP), enterprises can tap directly into advanced network intelligence for:
- Real-time fraud detection
- Authentication without OTP friction
- Stronger security for online transactions
- Smoother user experiences across platforms
This means banks can block unauthorized access instantly, e-commerce platforms can reduce abandoned carts, and SMEs can offer secure logins without complicating user journeys.
According to Nabstract Founder and Director Vaibhav Mehta, the company trusts PLDT Enterprise to deliver secure and scalable digital solutions to the Philippine market. Their shared goal: empower organizations to thrive safely in an increasingly digital economy.
Building a Safer Digital Future for Filipino Businesses
The collaboration also aligns with PLDT Enterprise’s support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to innovation, industry, and digital inclusion. By enabling secure online services, the initiative helps boost trust and confidence in the country’s digital ecosystem.
With cybersecurity threats evolving every day, SilentAccess is a timely tool for businesses that want to protect users while providing fast, frictionless digital experiences.
