Lin Xue nodded and quickly relayed the message through her secretary. Soon, the main conference room was filled with the technical and sales teams, a buzz of anticipation in the air. Most of them had only heard of Lin Yun by reputation; this was their first time seeing him in person.
Lin Yun stood at the head of the long, polished table, a CD in his hand. Lin Xue stood beside him, a reassuring presence. He could feel a few dozen pairs of eyes on him, curious, expectant.
"Good morning, everyone," Lin Yun began, his voice calm and confident. "As you know, we've had some great success with QuickBooks and Cloud Browser. But we can't stop there. We need to keep innovating, keep pushing forward."
He held up the CD. "And that's what this is about. This," he announced, "is Aegis."
A murmur rippled through the room. Aegis. The name was familiar to some, a whisper that had been circulating through the office grapevine.
"Aegis," Lin Yun continued, "is a next-generation cybersecurity program. An antivirus software, to be precise. But it's unlike anything currently on the market."
He paused, letting his words sink in. He could see the skepticism on some faces, the curiosity on others. It was time to explain.
"Most antivirus programs today rely on signature-based detection," he explained. "They have a database of known viruses, and they scan your computer for those specific signatures. It's like having a wanted poster for every criminal out there. If they see a match, they know it's a virus."
He paused again, making eye contact with different people around the room. "The problem is," he continued, "new viruses are created every day. Thousands of them. It's impossible for any database to keep up. And that's where Aegis is different."
Lin Yun walked to the end of the table where a desktop computer was set up. He inserted the CD, and the Aegis logo – a stylized shield – appeared on the screen during the installation process.
"Aegis uses something called 'Real-time Deep Learning Malware Detection'," he explained, turning back to the audience. "It doesn't rely on a database of known viruses. Instead, it uses advanced algorithms to analyze the behavior of files and programs in real-time."
He could see some of the technical staff leaning forward, their interest piqued.
"Think of it like this," Lin Yun said, searching for a simple analogy. "Instead of looking for a specific criminal, Aegis looks for criminal behavior. It learns to recognize the patterns, the anomalies, that indicate malicious intent."
"For example," he elaborated, "if a program tries to access sensitive system files without authorization, or tries to replicate itself rapidly, or tries to connect to a suspicious server, Aegis will flag it as a potential threat, even if it's never seen that specific program before."
He turned back to the computer, where the installation was complete. "Aegis doesn't just detect viruses," he continued, "it prevents them from executing in the first place. It's a proactive, not reactive, approach to cybersecurity."
To demonstrate, he opened a folder containing several files, some harmless, some infected with simulated viruses, including one he had created himself that, in theory, should be undetectable by current methods.
He launched Aegis. The interface was clean and intuitive, a simple window with a large "Scan" button. He clicked it.
The room watched in silent anticipation as Aegis began its scan. A progress bar slowly filled the screen. After a few minutes, the scan completed.
Aegis displayed a list of threats it had detected, including the simulated viruses and his own creation. The technical team murmured in surprise.
"As you can see," Lin Yun said, a hint of pride in his voice, "Aegis detected even the zero-day threat, the virus I created specifically to test its capabilities. Because it doesn't look for signatures, it looks for behavior."
He then went on to explain the size of the potential market. "Cybersecurity is a growing concern, for individuals, businesses, and even governments. Right now, the market is dominated by a few players offering outdated solutions. There's a huge opportunity for a product like Aegis."
"Moreover," Lin Yun added, gesturing towards the programmers, "This is where all of you come in. Aegis needs constant updates, improvements. We need to refine the algorithms, expand its capabilities, and stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape. This is a chance for us to build something truly revolutionary, something that will change the way people think about cybersecurity."
He turned to the sales team, his tone shifting slightly. "And you," he said, "will be the ones to bring this to the world. We need to educate people about the limitations of traditional antivirus software and show them the power of Aegis."
He looked around the room, meeting the gaze of each person present. "This is more than just another product," he declared. "This is a chance to make a real difference. To protect people's data, their privacy, their livelihoods."
He paused, letting his words hang in the air. "We're not just selling software," he concluded. "We're selling security. We're selling peace of mind. And I believe that Aegis is the best way to do that."
The room was silent for a moment, then, applause erupted, tentative at first, then growing in volume and enthusiasm. Lin Yun smiled. He had planted the seed. Now, it was time to watch it grow.
Lin Xue, standing beside him, gave him a proud smile. She knew that her brother had just launched them on a new, exciting trajectory.
The meeting continued for another hour, with Lin Yun answering questions and outlining his vision for Aegis. He talked about marketing strategies, distribution channels, and the need for a dedicated cybersecurity research team.
By the time the meeting ended, the room was buzzing with excitement. The employees, initially unsure of their young leader, were now energized, inspired, and ready to work. They had a product they believed in, a leader they trusted, and a mission that resonated with them.
Lin Yun had not only introduced Aegis; he had ignited a fire. And as he looked around at the faces of his team, he knew that this was just the beginning.
He had a feeling that Aegis would not only be a successful product but a cornerstone of his burgeoning tech empire, a shield that would protect his future endeavors and pave the way for even greater innovations…
