MANILA, Philippines, June 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Altius Inspiroa global leader in digital customer experience (CX) and business process services (BPS), today announced it has won the prestigious award Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2026 in the Network Security category of the Business Intelligence Group. Earning this distinction for the second consecutive year, the award highlights the company’s comprehensive 12-month security transformation, which replaced legacy perimeter defenses with a cloud-delivered SASE and Zero Trust architecture, increasing phishing resilience from a 15% click rate to 0% and delivering a 92% improvement in mean time to identify.
Building on this award-winning foundation, the company is advancing a practical, controlled approach to AI that bridges the speed gap between modern attackers and defenders while protecting the people, customers and partners who rely on its services.
Inspiro’s position rests on a clear observation: AI has not changed the game; it sped it up. Attackers already operate at machine speed, while many defenders still operate at human speed. The company sees AI as the biggest force multiplier in cybersecurity today and is closing that gap through purposeful adoption rather than trend-driven implementation. Inspiro is actively evaluating leading technologies to determine where AI can meaningfully strengthen its security operations.
Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for proven controls or experienced analysts, Inspiro sees it as an enabler that should complement strong defenses and expert judgment. Each opportunity assessed must meet strict criteria: measurable value, operational utility, and manageability from both a security and data privacy perspective.
For the Inspiro community, this translates into tangible results. Inspiro focuses on stronger detection, accelerated analysis, improved visibility, faster triage and improved response efficiency. The result is lower risk, stronger resilience and safer, more reliable service across the company’s world.
“The future of cybersecurity belongs to organizations that link innovation to discipline,” says Ryo Ohashi, president and CEO of Altius Inspiro. “AI is accelerating the way we defend, and we plan to lead that change responsibly – building a more resilient Inspiro that protects our people, customers and partners not only today, but for the future.”
“The threats are real, and so are the defenses,” he said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer of the Business Intelligence Group. “Altius Inspiro stood out because its work in network security reflects where the market is going: practical cybersecurity that solves real problems, earns trust and protects the people and assets that depend on it.”
