CyberGatekeeper!?

  从前天（周五）起，学生们都无法连接上校内所有tetamu-ukm无线网络热点，取而代之的是出现了以上的页面。该页面中要求学生下载一个名为CyberGatekeeper的软件，方可以使用校内的tetamu-ukm网络。

  依据学生的询问，理事会代表去了一趟国大资讯科技中心（Pusat Teknologi Maklumat）询问相关课题。依据Bahagian Pengurusan Rangkaian的负责人En. Mohd Hanafeyah说，要求校内的所有网络使用者安装该软件是PTM的新政策。

   En. Hanafeyah表示，由于之前的tetamu-ukm网络是不设防的，再加上许多使用者的电脑并没有安装防毒软件，造成了很多电脑病毒在该网络中散播。他也说，安装Cyber Gatekeeper的主要目的为确保学生电脑的防毒软件有定时更新，并且没有带有危害网络的电脑病毒，否则将会冒出警告或拒止其使用该网络，以保护其他网络使用者。

  理事会代表向En. Hanafeyah反映了学生的忧虑，包括该软件会否影响学生的私隐以及带有监控性。En. Hanafeyah解释说该软件的主要目的只是为了网络安全，并无其他目的。无论如何，他也说学校政策一向以来是不允许使用P2P软件，以免占用太多网络资源，影响他人上网。此项政策并没有改变。

  任何人如果有任何技术问题（如安装了无法上网）或疑问，可拨电En. Mohd Hanafeyah @ 03-8921 6162询问或致电任何一位理事会代表，让我们帮您反映。

  Since last Friday, students have not been able to connect to wifi hotspots of tetamu-ukm and the above page appears which requires students to download software, named CyberGatekeeper before being able to use the tetamu-ukm wifi.  

  The CCC representative had personally gone to Pusat Teknologi Maklumat to enquire about the relevant topic. According to the person-in-charge of Bahagian Pengurusan Rangkaian, En.Mohd Hanafeyah, it is the new policy of PTM to require all UKM internet users to install this software.  

  En.Hanafeyah said that, a great variety of virus spreading in the internet as the tetamu-ukm network was undefended and many users do not install antivirus software in their computers. He added, the main purpose of installing CyberGatekeeper is to ensure that the antivirus software in the students’ computers are always updated and do not spread virus. If otherwise, a warning or blocking alert will pop out to protect other internet users. 

  The CCC representative had conveyed the students’ worries to En.Hanafeyah whether the software will be invading the students’ privacy. He explained that the major concern of the software is just for website security without any other intention. Anyway, he also said that the policy of UKM is to disallow the usage of P2P software so as not to occupy too much internet source that affect others’ internet usage. Such policy is never changed. 

  Anyone with any technical problem (such as unable to connect after the installation) or enquiry may contact En.Mohd Hanafeyah @03-8921 6162 or any of the CCC representatives to bring out your problem.
