The ministry's general department of technology and the security companies talked about threats as well as ideas for securing the computer network. The network must be secure yet highly available, according to Do Xuan Tho, head of the ministry department. Security standards were another point mentioned at the seminar. Microsoft informed the attending information technology managers of its Trustworthy Computing Initiative, which is a guideline for designing a secure application. "Information is crucial to government agencies, especially our ministry," Tho said. "So we have to constantly seek new solutions." The audience also saw product introductions from Microsoft, Juniper, Stratus Technologies and others. Microsoft brought forward the .NET technology while Stratus touted its servers as a perfect ground for .NET programs to run with high availability and stability. Juniper also took the opportunity to inform the audience of its new network architectures and technologies. _________________________________ Donate online for the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes! http://www.c4i.org/ethan.html
