Shaya Technologies
Broadcast date: May 31, 2004
Hello, Hiya and welcome to Cybersurf, your weekly window on the world wide web. I am your friendly cyberhost, Steven Lang.
If you know anything at all about the Internet, you will know that security is a really big issue these days. Vandals, script kiddies and criminals are using the Internet to destroy web sites, servers and PCs. Personally I think they should all spend a long time behind bars.
However, the increasing problems created by these criminals, has been very good news – in some respects – for the Internet security company. We are going to speak to one such company in a few moments, but first I would liie to remind listeners what a patch is.
A patch is a piece of software, usually created and distributed by a major software company that has discovered a fault with a program that they originally sold you. The send you the patch to fix their mistakes, or holes in the software.
The problem with these patches, is they are not always compatible with the rest of your system, and sometimes there are so many of them that you really have to keep on your toes to have the latest patches installed.
Ian Melamed of Shaya technologies, says his company offers a security system that protects your network and is easy to update:
IN: The security system . . . .
OUT: . . . . period of six months.
DUR: 2’15”
Thank-you Ian Melamed, principal cosultant of Shaya Technologies, a South African Empowerment company that is leading the way in Internet Security. To find out more about the company and how it operates, click along to shaya.co.za
Before we go, I’d like to draw your attention to the new Numsa website at numsa.org.za – the design is great – it’s quick, intuitive and attractive – but it probably could be updated more often. Maybe they’re still getting all their material in place – will have a closer look at that site soon.
So with that quick comment, we wrap up Cybersurf for today. Thanks for listening and do make sure that you tune in against next Monday for more Cybersurf.
