RISK (Raising Internet Security Knowledge), as the seminar was called, mainly focused on spreading awareness on spam-related problems, network and internet security and discussing prospective solutions to the problems.

The program started off with a welcome address from the general manager of DCL sales department, Mohammed Asif, who mentioned different achievements of DCL, citing the company's currently engaged in an IT project for Bangladesh Railway under the government's supervision. He also referred to various privatised projects that are under development for the banking sectors of Bangladesh.

Peter Theobald, CEO of IT Secure Software Pvt. Ltd., who delivered the main presentation at the RISK seminar, giving a detailed and informative account of the different aspects of spam and network security. Theobald made suggestions on how spam can be controlled under the strict supervision of the preloaded hardware, which comes with a software interface, from Sonicwall, the leading US-based company of which IT Secure Ltd. works as the distributor. The CEO of the Indian company also referred to the different wireless security hazards and the viruses that use Malicious Coding to produce spywares from which any legal liability exposure is completely unsafe.

While offering the speech, Theobald stated how network security in everyday life is overlooked and needs to be completely understood before private party efforts against computer viruses prevail. With today's complex operating systems it is hard to rectify viral attacks. Precautions along with updated measured steps should be applied beforehand. Theobold mentioned Microsoft's recently release of seven security patches to its clients, emphasizing that clients need to look beyond the different anti-virus software. "Regular update of these patches are vital for a full protection from the ever-evolving viruses," added Theobald. These updates are automatically operated by interactive software from Sonicwall that may well put a lid to any virus venture to affect their computers on a major scale." With broadband internet connection, the interactive software from Sonicwall will update itself everyday.

When asked if IT Secure is looking for a benefit from such an informative presentation, Theobald stated that it was too early to say how much prospect Bangladesh holds. He assured that the country is making due progress in IT fields and believes it will soon join the international IT community. The Indian company acts as the sole IT solution distributor for India, Bangladesh and Nepal. Theobald also suggested that while Bangladesh may hold future prospects as a major software developer, the country currently lacks the image of a sophisticated IT service provider by India. "To secure such an image Bangladesh will need to proceed on a salesmanship towards Indian IT companies and thus may achieve sub-tenders from India," according to Theobald.

Minister for Posts and Telecommunications Aminul Haque , who attended the seminar as the chief guest, offered a short but assuring speech afterwards, mentioning the ongoing projects Bangladesh government has already secured on various IT sector developments. Haque cited that such seminars to procure IT elements in the country's infrastructure are greatly appreciated by the government and promised to work on such growth attempts from the private sectors of Bangladesh.

The seminar came to an end with a speech from the managing director of DCL, Sabur Khan, who enthusiastically held up a view that Bangladesh will soon attain a secured position as an internationally proclaimed IT administrator. Khan emphasized the importance of correct governmental approval on different sector projects in promoting growth of the IT infrastructure of Bangladesh.
