At a press launch held at the Discovery Primea on Monday, network service company LR Data announced their partnership with Continent 8, the world’s leading anti-DDOS organization. LR Data CEO Ed Lopez highlighted their already impressive capabilities providing end-to-end data services, while pointing out that the gaming industry was the most demanding in terms of the number of attacks it sustained.
The launch was also attended by Undersecretary Eliseo M. Rio Jr of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) who outlined the Government’s National Cybersecurity Plan 2022. Undersecretary Rio said that the Philippines currently had a tools-based approach to cybersecurity, but was determined to move towards being cyber-resilient through the development of human capital, research and development, domestic and international collaboration, public-private partnerships and education programs.
Peter Williams, commercial director of Continent 8, spoke about what makes the company different from other providers in Asia, stressing their 20-year experience in the field and their robust global network.

Global data centre and managed service provider Continent 8 Technologies has announced key partnerships to enable the delivery of its globally respected services directly to businesses throughout the Philippines. The new partners approached Continent 8 as they wished to offer the company’s advanced DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection and mitigation services alongside Continent 8’s global private connectivity to Philippines based companies.
In 2016, Continent 8 announced the completion of its latest network expansion, bringing its European, North American and Asia Pacific networks together to give true global coverage across a multi-terabit network. Now with over 25 points of presence globally, this enables the company to deliver its world-class service portfolio into a number of additional regions.
Partnerships have been announced with IP Converge Data Services Ltd (IPC, an ePDLT company) and LR Data Center and Solutions, Inc, both headquartered in Makati City, Manila. These significant players in the local connectivity and data centre markets were carefully selected by Continent 8 as they are both businesses which share Continent 8’s values of service excellence, innovation and integrity.
By forging these strategic partnerships, Continent 8 brings proven expertise and the delivery, management and support is carried out by the partners – enabling continuity, use of local knowledge and leveraging existing relationships. This model is now to be extended to other regions in the coming months through more carefully selected partners who share Continent 8’s ethos for service excellence and who wish to bring Continent 8’s service portfolio to their own customer base.
Michael Tobin, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer commented “With nearly 20 years of experience and operations, we have built a global reputation for service excellence alongside a unique global footprint of data centres and network points of presence. By partnering with IPC and LR Data, we bring to the table advanced DDoS Mitigation services to Philippine enterprises, at a time when attacks are becoming increasingly prolific,”
Further services will be rolled out in due course and will allow Filipino businesses to connect globally using their local, trusted partners.
