Singapore-based telecommunications and Internet Service Provider (ISP) ViewQwest recently announced the launch of SecureNet for homes and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. SecureNet is Southeast Asia’s first consumer broadband with built-in security powered by Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The topic on cybersecurity has risen in importance and significance over the past few years, especially more during 2020 when the global pandemic struck the world and the world economy has adapted,\u00a0 how we work from home (WFH), moving into a new future of work, a hybrid working environment of home and office as time went by.<\/p>\n

Not just for WFH environment, having cybersecurity solutions protect your family and loved ones at home, as for businesses, protecting their key information and data. Whilst families and SMEs may attempt to protect their privacy by installing cybersecurity solutions, it is often too difficult and troublesome for many, especially the less tech-savvy. With more connected devices such as home security cameras being installed that do not come with built-in security, this problem is increased significantly.<\/p>\n

Last year, hacked footages from home security cameras in Singapore were uploaded to pornographic sites (1). As more families and small businesses spend time online at the comforts of their homes, hackers have been doubling down on their efforts to infiltrate home networks and attempt to steal valuable personal data via phishing.<\/p>\n

With ViewQwest SecureNet for homes and SMEs, customers do not have to worry about adding additional technology devices or software to their home or office network setup for cybersecurity. This would give customers a peace of mind especially those less tech-savvy ones who might encounter issues in setting them up.<\/p>\n

Vignesa Moorthy, CEO of ViewQwest, said: \u201cAs an ISP, we should take the lead in tackling cybersecurity threats from the get-go. For the first time in Southeast Asia and Singapore, consumers here can now get automatic, 24\/7 cybersecurity protection without needing to install or purchase any additional software or hardware<\/strong><\/span>. This is possible as the entire broadband line itself is now secure and protected against cyber threats.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a growing trend globally where ISPs have taken ownership(2) in tackling cyber threats by creating and offering broadbands with built-in security. With SecureNet, ViewQwest puts Singapore on the global map of advanced nations that can enjoy the latest cutting-edge technology in cybersecurity\u201d, Vignesa added.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starting from $29.90 per month and $96.00 per month for home and SME customers respectively, ViewQwest customers can now enjoy a 24\/7 network-delivered security solution that scans for malicious attacks, both known and unknown, to eradicate them before they can harm the users\u2019 devices. SecureNet can give these consumers peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Advanced technology to block cybersecurity threats before they reach home or office<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

SecureNet is designed to act as the household\u2019s first line of defence against cybersecurity threats such as malware, adware, spyware, phishing, and system vulnerabilities (e.g. outdated operating system). Routing network traffic through the Palo Alto Networks machine learning-powered Next-Generation Firewall, SecureNet automatically scans the entire network for known and unknown file and web-based threats, and has three main threat prevention measures to deal with them:<\/p>\n
