Every day, thousands of people all over the world find themselves in the unwanted situation of a data or security network breach. This eventually led to the realization of the importance of cybersecurity by the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2004. Since then, awareness campaigns and education programmes have been spread all over the globe by individuals, small businesses, and even large corporations like Google.

In fact, based on an article by The Independent, the issue of cybersecurity risks and threats have been touted the third highest cause of global disruption over the next five years by the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2018, making it just slightly behind the risks of natural disasters. Just as recently as September this year, Reuters reported cyber-crime related attacks had infiltrated Europe’s largest economy in Germany, causing their manufacturing industry to suffer a loss of almost 43 billion euros through stolen manufacturing techniques and sensitive data, plus digital sabotage . It was found that small and medium-sized companies were often the main targets of these attacks.

As a leading provider of IT infrastructure and solutions, we understand just how devastating a cybersecurity threat can be. Through our stringent remanufacturing processes and partnerships, we ensure that the equipment you receive are secure and well-equipped to protect your data from beginning to end.

All rental computers and laptops have the option of being installed with Bitdefender Antivirus and Cibecs Data Protection Software, securing it from any form of immediate threats; while the provision of WatchGuard’s Total Security Suite ensures the safety of your backend by protecting your servers and networks. This is done through WatchGuard’s unique traffic monitoring system via its ATP and APT technology.

Here at Rentwise, we ensure the security of your data even after deployment of your retired IT assets. As a premier partner of Blancco™ (an industry standard data data wipe solution used by the US Department of Defense), all IT equipment decommissioned to us will go through a thorough data wipe that ensures the elimination of your sensitive data, giving you and your businesses, peace of mind.

Cybersecurity threats are more than just a casual issue. It affects industries and nations with crippling consequences. Let us support you by making your entire IT asset lifecycle management worry-free, allowing you to better focus on core-tasks and the value-creation of your businesses.

Tony Lee, Director – IT Services, Sunway Education Group spoke fondly of the CSR programme which benefits the younger generation.

Our continuous CSR collaboration with the Sunway Education Group has provided SK Sri Petaling a total of 20 newly remanufactured desktop computers. The newly equipped lab was officiated on 20th September 2018 by Rentwise Malaysia’s Head of IT Asset Management Services, Mr Lai Kien Wah and Sunway Education Group’s  representative, Mr Ong Kiat Ming.

Being a school that is half a century old, the total count of 40 working computers in the lab dwindled down to only 5 working units due to hardware and software problems. “The total number of students in one class can easily vary from 30 – 40 students. ” Mr Jegis Raj A/L Bala Subramaniam, the school’s Head of ICT and ICT teacher shares with us. “So 5 (computers) against 40 (students) – the ratio really wasn’t on our side. Slowly, the kids and I started to struggle with the teaching and learning process.”

Ms Sri Devi Ravana, a PIBG member from the school came across our CSR program on the internet and reached out to us for help. The 20 newly remanufactured computers donated to the school gave the computer lab the upgrade it needed to perform. The computer lab is now a dream come true for all students, parents and teachers alike with a noticeable improvement and more efficiency during ICT classes. The Headmistress of SK Sri Petaling, Puan Hajah Anum Zakiah shares her appreciation and hopes that both students and teachers will be able to carry out ICT classes and learning with less constraints after the upgrade.

As part of our community development, Rentwise initiates and runs CSR programmes. Semi-government aided schools or NGOs are invited to speak to us about their IT Infrastructure requirements. Over the years, we have helped create or upgrade the existing ICT facilities of a number of needy schools and NGOs. Many of these programmes run in conjunction with our corporate clients who partner with us to monetize and revitalise their retired IT equipment for worthy community and youth development causes through the process of Remanufacturing.

SMK Jinjang is proud to be the recipient of 35 remanufactured computers recently setup as part of a joint CSR donation exercise by Rentwise Malaysia and the Sunway Educational Group. These 35 units of remanufactured desktops have been deployed to equip the school’s computer lab and is seen as a huge step forward toward enhancing the ICT learning of SMK Jinjang’s students and teachers.

Representative from Rentwise, Mr Lanz Boo and from the Sunway Educational Group, Mr Ong Kiat Ming were present to officiate the launch of SMK Jinjang’s computer lab in the presence of the school’s headmaster Tuan Haji Sauki bin Yusof, witnessed by key personnel of the school. It was indeed a momentous occasion in the history of the school which acknowledged this key milestone in the information technology development program for its students.

The school has expressed full commitment to ensure the donated computers will be used extensively to enrich the learning experience of its students. The VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) frog program initiated by the Ministry of Education can now be implemented in a more effective manner.

“I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the ICT committee of SMK Jinjang for their dedicated effort in spearheading the establishment of this computer lab which would help empower the IT learning capabilities of this school. This will certainly help give rise to a new generation of students who are IT-savvy in relevance to current times,” Tuan Haji Sauki says. The school’s principal acknowledged that this would not have been possible without the donation of computers by Rentwise and the Sunway Educational Group. Hence, the launch of this computer lab has become a crucial turning point in the drive for excellence by SMK Jinjang.

Tuan Haji Sauki believes that ICT learning helps expand the minds and thought processes of students in present times. Most importantly, the newly equipped computer lab will positively impact the learning culture of its students and further facilitate the duties of teachers who now have unlimited potential in their arsenal of available teaching tools to engage students.

“Our Green IT policy meets strict environmental standards when retiring and disposing IT equipment, while maximising equipment recovery values and reducing carbon footprint. Research notes the carbon footprint of a desktop PC is 800kg, whereas a notebook is 350kg. Hence, the deployment of 35 units of computers in SMK Jinjang can be considered a beneficial impact to our environment,” Mr Lanz Boo says. Rentwise believes in empowering youth to advance into the global technological and digital arena. Thus, Rentwise is continuously committed to enhancing the education infrastructure with comprehensive digital platforms.

As part of our community development, Rentwise initiates and runs CSR programmes. Semi-government aided schools or NGOs are invited to speak to us about their IT infrastructure requirements. Over the years, we have helped create or upgrade the existing ICT facilities of a number of needy schools and NGOs. Many of these programmes are run in conjunction with our corporate clients who partner with us to monetize and revitalise their retired IT equipment for worthy community and youth development causes through the process of Remanufacturing.

With the Government’s commitment to embrace and adopt digitization, the 1BestariNet Project, headed by MOE, was initiated. This programme connects government schools across Malaysia via the Internet to provide an online learning platform in conjunction with the Frog VLE (Virtual Learning Environment). This is in line with Improving Student Outcomes (NKRA).

One of our Company’s core values is ‘Self Development’. This drive coupled with a self-sustaining momentum is essential to empowering our youth to advance into the global technological and digital arena. Rentwise is continuously committed to enhance the education infrastructure with comprehensive digital platforms.

Since our first successful launch of a CSR programme in 2012, Rentwise has since provided over 310 sets of Remanufactured computers, benefiting over 8,200 students across various institutions and organisations.

Rentwise is happy to work together with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to extend our coverage to identified schools in Kota Bahru, Kelantan.

In our latest project, we are working to enhance the existing infrastructure of the following 5 schools.

1. SJK (C) Chung Cheng, Kota Bharu
2. SMJK Chung Cheng, Kota Bharu
3. SJK (C) Peir Chih, Kota Bharu
4. SJK (C) Chung Hwa, Kota Bharu
5. SMJK Chung Hwa, Kota Bharu

Each school from the above list will get 5 Desktops and 5 Laptops which will be used in their ICT Labs, classroom or libraries. This comes as a huge benefit to the almost 6,500 students collectively who will now be able to unlock unlimited potential in their access and journey to obtain knowledge for an enhanced e-learning experience. We hope to identify a few more schools in Kelantan that will significantly benefit from our CSR program.
