Kaspersky

'Kaspersky Anti- Virus combines a straightforward interface with slick reporting, advanced settings and accurate threat detection.'

Through integrating with current systems the Kaspersky anti- virus programme effectively detects viruses as well as receives alerts from external sources such as another email to forecast virus receipt. With over 16 years of accrued knowledge and know - how Kaspersky is an international leader in delivering business and personal systems security and protection. The program offers a comprehensive built-in password feature eliminating the ability of unauthorized individuals from turning-off the security features.

'Not only was it the most accurate here for detecting email viruses but it was nearly the most accurate at finding spyware, where it was just beaten by AVG. It found 91 per cent of email viruses and 48 per cent of web-based threats, giving an average detection rate of 73 per cent, head and shoulders above the competition. Norton AntiVirus averaged 55 per cent and McAfee VirusScan 50 per cent.' Simon Edwards

With these highly effective attributes and international credibility, Compnent was one of the first South African organisations to partner with this global icon in IT security. As an affordable, sophisticated infrustructure Kaspersky is a user-friendly system highly recommended and supported by Compnent.

Digital Video recording (DVR)

In recent years the VCR was replaced with the Digital Video recording (DVR) and through many revisions and updates it has become a comprehensive and valuable business tool. In fact, both the PC - based and non-PC based DVR's come highly recommended. Despite many current day misnomers A DVR meant for security surveillance and mission critical applications is a sophisticated system composed of specialised hardware, software and sub - assemblies with built-in checks and balances. It all works in unison to create a robust and reliable system.

Unlike a VCR, the DVR has many advanced features and can also be operated and viewed remotely from anywhere in the world using the Internet. A Digital Video Recorder differs from a VCR in one particularly significant way:
Instead of recording video and audio data to a tape, the DVR records to a computer hard drive or removable media such as a CD or DVD. In contrast to video cassette tapes, computer hard drives:

• Are more reliable (no tape jamming, degaussing or signal loss)
• Can store far more recorded material (weeks, months, years)
• Offer better video quality (cassettes wear out the tape)
• Are automated (no need to worry someone forgot to push the record button)

• Accessed quick and efficiently
• Viewed or retrieved locally or remotely across the Internet
• Viewed simultaneously by multiple users
• Tied to alarm systems
