China News Service, Fuzhou, October 13 (Reporter Long Min) At the third Digital China Construction Summit to be held on the 13th, Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of 360 Group, pointed out in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews that there is an urgent need for safety Building the premise and foundation of Digital China.

  Since the beginning of this year, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, global economic development has suffered an unprecedented blow.

Zhou Hongyi said that under the epidemic, a series of new scenarios such as remote meetings, live streaming and cloud classrooms have emerged, further accelerating the pace of digital transformation.

Faced with the new situation of accelerating development in the current era, network security is bound to face more severe threats and challenges, and its impact will rise to a whole new level. It is urgent to accelerate the formation of a security consensus in the digital age.

  In Zhou Hongyi's eyes, digitalization will bring unprecedented security risks, and cyber threats will surpass traditional threats and become the biggest security threat in the digital age.

He said that through the Internet of Things, cyber attacks can attack power stations, industrial workshops, urban buildings, unmanned vehicles or intelligent networked vehicles, and the damage is extremely large.

Cyber ​​attacks may cause massive urban paralysis, large-scale water and power outages, and gas outages.

  Zhou Hongyi believes that the government, enterprises and everyone should fully realize that the promotion of digital transformation and network security are no longer a vassal of digitalization, but the foundation of digitalization.

To build security capabilities in the digital age, we cannot continue to use methods of investigating and remediating omissions after the fact. It is necessary to use the methodology of system thinking to plan and construct a new generation of security capabilities system.

  Zhou Hongyi pointed out that only by reaching the same consensus and putting security in the forefront can the follow-up "marching route" be better laid.

"360 will be based on the positioning of network security operators, taking the protection of new infrastructure and the digital economy as an important mission, and working with all walks of life to promote the high-quality development of Digital China." (End)
