Globe underscored the need for telecommunications operators to modernize security practices and prepare their organizations to scale artificial intelligence responsibly as the technology rapidly reshapes industries and economies worldwide.
Speaking at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Globe Chief AI Officer and Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio joined global technology leaders in discussions on cybersecurity resilience and the evolving innovation ecosystem.Bonifacio emphasized the need to modernize security practices within telecommunications networks, noting that IT and network security can no longer be treated separately. As AI becomes more deeply embedded across these networks and digital services, organizations must rethink how they protect systems and infrastructure to keep pace with rapidly advancing technologies. “For us to be able to keep up with the pace and be proactive, there must be modernization of the security practice,” Bonifacio said. “That shift means treating security as an engineering discipline, where protection is built directly into systems rather than applied after deployment.” The discussions also explored how organizations can scale emerging technologies such as AI through stronger collaboration between startups, corporations, and investors. While many companies are experimenting with new technologies, translating early innovation into sustained business impact remains a challenge. Many pilot initiatives fail not because the technology is weak, but because the corporate foundations required to support scaling are not yet ready. “Companies often treat AI like dipping their toes in a jacuzzi, when in reality it’s a tsunami,” Bonifacio said. “The real conversation should be about readiness for scale, not just experimentation.” For Globe, these conversations reflect a broader strategy that combines secure infrastructure, data readiness, and innovation partnerships to accelerate digital transformation while strengthening digital trust. The company continues to advocate for the responsible deployment of emerging technologies so that progress in connectivity and digital platforms supports secure and impact-driven growth. MWC Barcelona is the world’s largest gathering of the global connectivity ecosystem, bringing together mobile network operators, technology leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to shape the future of connectivity and emerging technologies. Globe’s participation reinforces its role as a voice from Asia Pacific in advancing a secure, innovative, and inclusive digital future.
