For instance, data management, data analytics, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, enterprise mobility management are some of the services MSPs now provide.
APAC CIO Outlook highlights Top Managed Service Providers annually to identify the outperforming providers. This is to help businesses find their preferred MSP based on their needs.
Netpluz was named in the Top 10 Managed Service Providers list for their delivery of high quality managed data, voice and video services.

Microsoft will no longer update or provide support for Windows 7. This means that Windows 7 users will need to start thinking about finally moving on from their favourite Windows operating system.
Systems that are running on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 will continue to function even after the support ends. However, users will no longer receive the latest security patches and this increase the RISKs of the system vulnerabilities being targeted with cyber threats such as malware infections.
With recent media coverage of cyber incidents, users of Windows 7 should take this seriously.
Windows 7 End of Life: what should you do?
So, if you still use Windows 7, what should you do? There are a number of things we’d recommend you do in preparation for Windows 7 End of Life, and the first is to consider upgrading to a newer operating system.
While you have a number of choices when moving operating systems, for many people, the obvious and simplest option is to upgrade to Windows 10.
Also, while Microsoft has done an admirable job of making Windows 10 able to run on older hardware, it’s still a modern operating system that might struggle to work well on your old Windows 7 machine. It may be time to do a technology refresh of the endpoints in your company.

Tier-based cloud security standard.
The Multi-Tier Cloud Security (MTCS) Singapore Standard (SS)584 is a cloud security certification managed by the Singapore Info-comm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
The MTCS SS is the world’s first cloud security standard that covers multiple tiers. With the new standard, certified CSPs will be able to spell out the levels of security that they can offer to their users.
MTCS SS has a self-disclosure requirement for CSPs covering service-oriented information that is normally included in Service Level Agreements. This covers areas such as data retention, data sovereignty, data portability, liability, availability, business continuity, disaster recovery, as well as incident and problem management.
Businesses that rely on cloud computing services will also be able to use the MTCS SS to better understand and assess the cloud security they require.
The scope of services included in the certification highlights Netpluz‘s ongoing and continuous commitment to ensuring sound operational and security controls across all Cloud Computing services, such as:
- Private Cloud
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)
- Backup as a Service (BaaS)
Netpluz Cloud Platform is certified as MTCS compliant.

Quality Communication Services with Cyber Protection
The internet revolution has radically altered the way business is conducted. The size and location of business are becoming increasingly unimportant, in today’s internet-connected global playing field. Furthermore, with new entrants of SaaS solutions and multiple branches distributed globally, optimized connectivity from a single management point of view is critical to ensure that all branches of a business can communicate effectively. However, with companies using connectivity systems from multiple vendors, this is not an easy task to achieve because IT professionals are usually directed around different vendors, and no clear causes are identified when an issue arises. In today’s always-connected era, response time to resolve is crucial to ensure secure businesses’ reputation and operations. Having one managed service provider to overlook the entire network is necessary to ensure faster response time and resolution. Understanding these requirements, Netpluz delivers quality communication services with cyber protection to clients. With the company’s offering, clients get the agility they require without the huge capital expenditure and hassle of managing multiple vendors. Leveraging its decades of experience and expertise in secure communications, Netpluz enables quick identification and fast response to resolve issues while guaranteeing 99.99 percent uptime. “As a B2B company, our focus is to simplify the communications needs of businesses with solutions that fit both company resources and requirements,” says Lau Leng Fong, CEO of the company.
Netpluz helps organizations with their secure internet networking needs by first understanding their unique challenges. By providing carrier-agnostic and secure network connectivity services, Netpluz builds customized solutions for every client. “Netpluz understands that every business is unique, and there is no one solution to fit all. Our approach is to first understand the requirement and challenge, growth plan for scalability before we propose a holistic solution,” says Leng Fong. With secure internet connectivity managed by Netpluz’s team of 24/7 technical helpdesk and proactive network monitoring, businesses can be rest assured that their network is being monitored and responded to whenever a need arises. “There were cases of internal network being compromised, devices being used for crypto-jacking, and cases of downtime due to target of DDoS attack. One of the value-added features that come with Netpluz Managed Service is network monitoring on bandwidth utilization,” mentions Leng Fong. An alert will be triggered upon a set threshold, and a dedicated account manager will contact the business representative to check if there is any abnormal network activity. A surge in network bandwidth utilization could spell malicious activity, and Netpluz can be engaged to mitigate the risks.
Companies subscribed to Netpluz DDoS Mitigation service enjoy auto mitigation of DDoS attacks, ensuring high availability of their network connection. In Q2 of 2019, Netpluz successfully mitigated a total of 1.8 Gbps DDoS attack over 2 hours, with the single largest DDoS attack of 506 Mbps mitigated. They commissioned local Scrubbing Centre, leveraging on machine learning technology and multi-layered mitigation to provide intelligence-based detection to automate threat detection. This approach enables an adaptive security architecture, simultaneously addressing detection, prediction, prevention, and response.
In fact, the company will soon launch a Datacenter-grade cloud-based managed security service (MSS) platform, eSentinel especially for SMEs as they do not have the resources to implement a dual firewall implementation, or even DDoS mitigation and secure network monitoring system. Conceptually, eSentinel is built with state-of-the-art cyber technologies, offering the various protection features such as intelligent next-gen firewall (iNGFW), DDoS mitigation, SIEM, 24×7 monitoring and detection, and response should the on-premise firewall is managed by Netpluz. Netpluz also leverages SD-WAN technology, powered by VeloCloud, now part of VMware, to offer secure, high performance and reliable cross border business connectivity operations ensuring optimal performance even for demanding applications, such as voice and video. “eSentinel is our answer for Secure Internet Connectivity and SD-WAN, for Secure WAN Connectivity,” adds Leng Fong.
Businesses can view Netpluz as an extension of their IT department to manage the entire network and system infrastructure. The company’s team is trained, and industry certified to bring the highest value to clients. “Having a managed communication service provider is, therefore, preferable in terms of skillset and cost saving, as compared to hiring a team of specialized IT professionals. We take your IT operations to the next level, and you can focus your time and resources to take your company to new heights,” says Leng Fong.
As a B2B company, our focus is to simplify the communications needs of businesses with solutions that fit both company resources and requirements.
Among the numerous success stories of Netpluz is that of Paradise Group, a diners’ paradise for Oriental cuisine. With the need to have agility on global connectivity across 110 branches in 9 countries, Paradise Group embraced cloud computing to digitally transform their global communications. As the business grows, the need to be cyber resilient is imminent. As cyber-attacks are evolving to be more complex and harder to detect, Netpluz managed to implement a deep learning solution that leverage on neural networks to detect malicious activities, securing critical data with proper disaster recovery in place. “We are proud to serve Paradise Group with a fast detection and response team to ensure that they can achieve a robust networking and secure framework, with significant cost savings in place,” states Leng Fong. Netpluz successfully implemented and managed a robust networking and communication framework for Paradise Group and helped them achieve a whopping 20 percent cost-savings on secure networking across their headquarters and outlets in Singapore. Additionally, Netpluz has implemented an intelligent queue management solution for the client that is forecasted to achieve at least 40 percent cost-saving on voice services. Keith Kee, IT Manager of Paradise Group, mentions, “No other service providers were able to take a step back to understand my challenges, and Netpluz offered to go the extra mile. We are proud to have Netpluz Asia as our IT solutions provider.”
With such stellar success stories, Netpluz is set on a regional expansion throughout the Asia Pacific, to be the leading Managed Communications Service Provider in the region. Headquartered in Singapore and with business operations in Malaysia, Netpluz is set to expand their support coverage to Indonesia in the very near future, in line with the vision to be the top regional Managed Service Provider (MSP) with cyber security as their key focus. With humble beginnings in 2015 serving business internet connectivity followed by the acquisition of Mediaring and merger of Y5Zone Singapore in 2016, Netpluz has evolved from an internet service provider to a leader in managed data, voice, video, mobility, analytics and cybersecurity services. Today, the company offers its services to over 2000 clients over a single, converged network with uncompromising availability, scalability, and service standards. “Leveraging on our expertise and decades of experience, Netpluz is strategically poised to be the one-stop-shop managed communications service provider to support the growth of performing businesses looking to build optimized, secure and diverse connectivity throughout the region,” remarks Leng Fong.

Netpluz Launches eSentinel, Cloud-based 360° Cyber Security protection for digitally connected businesses.
eSentinel features a single solution that only requires a “plug & play” approach to subscribe to firewall, DDoS Mitigation and even Security & Network monitoring for the market.
SINGAPORE, 2 September 2019 – Netpluz, a homegrown Managed Communication Service Provider is launching eSentinel, a Cloud-Based 360° Cyber Security platform at Cloud Expo Asia 2019 in Singapore on the 9 & 10 September 2019.
The Netpluz Cloud Security Platform provides enterprises with a smart, simple and secure way to significantly reduce the risks against malicious cyber threats, both externally and internally. With a strong R&D and management team with decades of experience in network connectivity, Netpluz is investing in its core infrastructure to help secure businesses network availability and data, across SaaS and PaaS environment.
“Businesses, especially small to mid-tier, understands the risk of non-secured connectivity. However, it is unfortunate that such priorities are unlikely to be high in the management list due to various of understandable reasons such as being budget constraint and lack of awareness on the cybersecurity landscape. The impressions are that cybersecurity services are expensive and is only useful in the event of cyber-attack, which they think is unlikely for the size of their businesses.” said Lau Leng Fong, Chief Executive Officer at Netpluz. “With eSentinel, businesses can leverage on a single, simple and secure cloud security platform instead of engaging multiple vendors for different cybersecurity services. It is time the market requires a solution that different cybersecurity services can synchronise with each other to form a resilient cybersecurity perimeter.” Leng Fong also light-heartedly shared that this should be known as Cyber Security Systems as-a-Service (CSSaaS).
eSentinel, a concept that was developed internally, will leverage industry-leading technology partners and ‘honeypots’ to divert cybercriminals to attack and be contained.

Newcomer aims to harness critical properties from one of Spore’s pioneer developers of Voice-over-Internet Protocol technology
SINGAPORE, 25 January 2016 – Netpluz Asia Pte Ltd, a newly formed homegrown managed services provider, said today it is paying S$3 million for the business assets of two Mediaring communications companies – Mediaring Network Services (MRNS) and Mediaring Communications (MRC).
The purchase, which is staggered over four phases till mid 2017, will complete a full circle for Mediaring, a company formed in Singapore in 1994 and became a trailblazer at its initial public offering in 1999. At Mediaring’s height in 2000, it had the largest market share worldwide as a one-stop service provider of voice, data and computing services with leading- edge VoIP technology.
Netpluz Asia, comprising a management team who worked in Mediaring in 2005, has agreed to purchase the commercial assets of the brand. The retail assets of Mediaring will continue to remain with its existing owner, publicly-listed Si2i Ltd.
With the transfer of MRNS and MRC underway, Netpluz Asia aims to:
- Inject newer systems and technologies and offer the likes of cloud computing, IP Private Branch Exchange (IP-PBX) and data analytics to corporate customers;
- Enhance its managed service offerings to the 2,000 active customers from the MRNS and MRC pool, substantially increasing its overall group of clients; and
- Leverage on Mediaring’s technology jewel of its ownership of a significant number ofbInternet Protocol Version 4 addresses, an extremely valuable asset that is experiencing rapid depletion given the on-going explosion of the internet.
On the cards are plans to establish a regional footprint with in-country offices in Indonesia and Malaysia to directly support customers in these markets. The goal is to become a leading managed communications service provider in the region.
With the integration of the Mediaring assets and projected growth from the regional perspective, Netpluz Asia is looking to generate annual revenues of S$10 million in 2017.
While there is no shortage of managed service providers in the IT market, Netpluz Asia is solely focused on small and medium-sized businesses. The Mediaring acquisition will beef up its pool of small-business customers as well as targeting medium-sized organisations with five to 200 users.
There are currently other IT service providers which target larger enterprises, but many do not offer a gamut of offerings to small-and-medium-sized businesses.
Netpluz’s Managing Director Lau Leng Fong said: “Netpluz evolved into its current form because of its strategic focus of offering managed services over the internet to smaller and medium-sized companies. We add value by delivering high quality managed data, voice and video services over a single, converged network.”
“Small and medium-sized businesses are springing up in Singapore and the region. These businesses find it hard to leverage on emerging technologies in a comprehensive manner because large managed service providers do not necessarily allow them to benefit from economies of scale. Hence, these smaller players end up taking a piecemeal approach to technology implementation,” said Mr Lau.
He explained that the current information technology needs of small and medium-sized businesses are met, to a small extent, by system integrators who have the ability to address the nuts and bolts of technology. However, these same system integrators are often unable to harness the power of the internet via the simultaneous use of data, voice and video.
Looking ahead, there are plans to introduce a string of new services in Asia, including a surveillance video system that is able to pump out data via emails without any human intervention. Customers will have a choice of implementing this service either on their networks or have it managed remotely on Netpluz Asia’s hosting systems.
