Global
In Singapore, SMEs make up 99% of all enterprises[1] and contribute 44% of the nation’s gross domestic product.[2]
Yet, 80% of businesses experience a cyber breach each year – and 99% of these lead to business impact.[3]
For small businesses with limited resources and no in-house cybersecurity expertise, managing these risks is a growing challenge.
The Challenge
Fragmented Tools, Rising Threats and Constant Anxiety
JJ Innovation Enterprise, a Singapore-based tech solutions provider, was one such small and medium enterprise (SME). With just eight employees and a growing list of clients, cybersecurity management was becoming increasingly unsustainable. Their setup – basic antivirus software, a firewall and standalone endpoint protection across nine devices – provided limited visibility and no integration between tools.
Without a dedicated cybersecurity team, one person oversaw everything.
What the team needed was a robust yet simple cybersecurity solution – one that didn’t require building an in-house Security Operations Centre (SOC).
“The only word to describe how we felt was anxiety. We were always worried that something would slip through the cracks. Monitoring systems manually and second-guessing alerts also took time away from our core business and innovation.“ Gary Wong, Co-Founder and Managing Director, JJ Innovation Enterprise. |
The Solution
Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity for SMEs
JJ Innovation Enterprise adopted our AI-Enabled Threat Elimination and Response service – an AI-powered cybersecurity service designed to bring enterprise-level protection to SMEs.
With real-time threat detection, 24/7 monitoring and customised incident response support, it gave the team confidence without adding operational complexity.
“The service combined the strength of an enterprise system with the usability and practicality SMEs need. ST Engineering’s credibility and local expertise were key differentiators. It felt like a partnership, not just a transaction," said Gary.
Deployment was seamless and well-supported, tailored specifically to JJ Innovation’s scale and environment with minimal disruption.
The Results
Peace of Mind, Proactive Defence and Productivity Gains
After several months, JJ Innovation Enterprise saw measurable results:
In one incident, the AI-Enabled Threat Elimination and Response service detected a phishing email disguised as an invoice from a trusted vendor. The system flagged the threat before anyone interacted with it – preventing a potentially serious breach.
“We no longer chase down false positives or second-guess alerts,” said Gary. “Now, we have full visibility, centralised control and the assurance that our systems are protected.”
With AI cyber defence running seamlessly in the background, the team now operates with sharper focus and greater agility – channeling their efforts into business growth and client success.

“It’s not just protection – it’s peace of mind. We’ve moved from reactive firefighting to proactive defence, and it’s made a real difference to our productivity and mindset.”
