Dhiraagu has introduced NetProtect as a reliable digital safety solution for customers in the Maldives at a time when internet scams and online fraud are on the rise. The service is designed to protect users from unsafe SMS links, social media links, and phishing websites by proactively alerting them when a link or website is potentially unsafe before access is granted. This early-warning approach helps prevent exposure to scams, financial fraud and other digital risks, enabling users to browse, work and communicate online with greater confidence. Demonstrating its effectiveness, Dhiraagu NetProtect blocked over 9 million security threats in November alone. The service is powered by artificial intelligence that is continuously updated with real-time threat intelligence, underlining Dhiraagu’s commitment to delivering a safer and more secure digital experience for its customers across the country.
Beyond individual users, NetProtect offers clear value for households and the wider tourism and hospitality sector, including resorts and guesthouses that rely heavily on secure, high-quality connectivity for their operations and guest services. For families, the service is particularly beneficial as a parental control tool, helping parents and guardians ensure children’s online safety. NetProtect enables the identification and blocking of unsafe websites and allows adults to set specific time limits for accessing certain online content or restrict usage during selected periods. This is especially relevant for resort environments where families on vacation expect safe internet access for children across multiple devices. By deploying a security layer such as NetProtect on their networks, resorts can enhance guest trust, protect users from harmful or fraudulent content and support a more secure digital environment in public Wi-Fi areas, staff networks and back-office systems.
Dhiraagu NetProtect is offered at an affordable monthly fee, priced at MVR 35 for Dhiraagu mobile customers and MVR 50 for fixed broadband customers, making enterprise-grade protection accessible to a wide range of users, from individual subscribers to small businesses and hospitality operators. Customers can easily activate the service via the DhiraaguApp, and NetProtect is fully customisable through Dhiraagu’s dedicated web portal at netprotect.dhiraagu.com.mv based on individual or organisational needs. Importantly, the service does not require the installation of any additional software or applications, simplifying deployment for busy households and resort IT teams alike.
As digitalisation accelerates across the Maldives, with resorts, hotels and travel businesses increasingly depending on seamless online operations for bookings, communications and guest engagement, robust cyber security solutions are becoming essential infrastructure. Dhiraagu’s introduction of NetProtect reflects this shift, supporting both residents and the tourism industry with an added layer of online safety. The company remains committed to delivering the latest digital solutions while prioritising the protection, privacy and security of its customers as they navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape.
