Digicel Vanuatu and Telstra International have forged a pioneering alliance in the Pacific region to support the National Bank of Vanuatu (NBV) to validate its cyber security framework.

This collaboration symbolizes NBV’s dedication to safeguarding the integrity of its network and Customer Service channels and its ongoing commitment to ensuring that robust security controls are in place to counter evolving cyber threats.

Telstra International CEO, Roary Stasko, said; “Cyber security threats and attacks are an increasing challenge in the Pacific, as they become more frequent and complex.
