Mobile payment, swiping face to enter the community... Nowadays, people have left a large number of "digital footprints" in their daily lives. Will these "digital footprints" be "tracked", collected, or even misused?
A few days ago, the 2022 Global Digital Economy Conference was held in Beijing. At the meeting, a large number of innovative achievements such as 5G were unveiled, showing the convenience that digital technology brings to people in communication, shopping, entertainment and other scenarios; at the same time, the vulnerability attack and defense demonstration of the automobile simulation platform also made people aware of the importance of digital security. sex.
Development and security are two wings of one body. At present, what are the shortcomings of my country's digital economy in the field of security? How to better ensure digital security in the future?
1. Digital security issues cannot be ignored
On August 7, the day of the beginning of autumn, Li Xiang, who lives in Haidian District, Beijing, received the bicycle he bought online early in the morning.
It took him 2 hours to put the car together and was happy with the look and performance.
"Online shopping is very convenient now. I usually 'buy, buy, buy' online, but I also have troubles. For example, the algorithm of the platform makes people very helpless, and it is almost impossible to prevent. These days, since I searched and browsed bicycles, Several apps (mobile Internet applications) are frequently recommending related products and short videos to me, which makes people feel like they've been leaked and peeped." Li Xiang said.
Nowadays, new business forms such as online shopping and online education are developing rapidly. Communication big data itinerary cards and epidemic prevention health codes are widely used. Digital technology has been integrated into various life scenarios, inadvertently changing people's lifestyles.
At the same time, new scenarios and new models such as intelligent inspections and digital factories are emerging rapidly, and a large number of traditional enterprises are "going to the cloud" to accelerate the pace of digital transformation.
The rapid development of the digital economy, the wide range of radiation, and the depth of its impact are unprecedented, providing a strong impetus for the sustainable and healthy development of the economy and society.
Data shows that from 2017 to 2021, the scale of my country's digital economy will increase from 27.2 trillion yuan to 45.5 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world in total, with an average annual compound growth rate of 13.6%, and its proportion in GDP will increase from 32.9%. to 39.8%, becoming one of the main engines driving economic growth.
However, with the vigorous development of the digital economy, the widely criticized "big data killing", "information cocoon room", "eavesdropping" and other problems also follow, data privacy protection, digital platform credibility , product safety issues, etc. have aroused people's concerns.
As Fan Youshan, vice-chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce said, while the digital economy breaks through the restrictions on the flow of traditional production factors and improves market efficiency, it also brings information security issues that cannot be ignored.
Wu Hequan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the epidemic has made working from home, distance learning, and online life into people's long-term habits.
As the network environment opens up and user roles increase, the expansion of protection boundaries brings new personal security risks.
At the same time, 5G commercialization promotes the development of the industrial Internet, and the association of internal and external networks of enterprises increases the security risks of industrial networks.
In the era of the Internet of Everything, urban security is getting more and more attention.
"The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The digital economy has become an important engine for a new round of global technological revolution and industrial transformation. The fundamental role of digital security has become increasingly prominent, and a new round of transformation and upgrading of digital security is imminent." Wu Hequan said .
2. The legal foundation of digital security is continuously consolidated
A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized a third-party testing agency to conduct inspections on apps such as life services and daily tools that the public paid attention to, and put forward rectification requirements for 368 apps that were found to violate users' rights and interests, and notified Daily Fresh. , Multipoint and other apps that collect personal information beyond the scope.
Wang Peng, head of the Information and Communication Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that in the first half of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology completed a total of 6.3 million App inspections, achieving full coverage of apps in my country's mainstream app stores, and significantly enhancing App governance capabilities. .
In the future, we will strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of telecommunications and Internet users, further standardize the business behavior of basic telecommunications companies and Internet companies, and create a favorable environment for information consumption.
Industry insiders said that data operators, as processors of data activities, must strictly abide by relevant laws and assume responsibility for data security.
In recent years, my country has promulgated laws, regulations and strategic plans such as the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, the National Cyberspace Security Strategy, and the Regulations on the Security Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, and issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review. Departmental regulations and normative documents such as the Measures for the Security Assessment of Cloud Computing Services and Several Provisions on the Management of Automobile Data Security (for Trial Implementation) have continuously consolidated the legal foundation for digital security.
In the digital age, opportunities and risks coexist.
Experts said that my country is speeding up the deployment of "new infrastructure". If a firm security line is not established, the digital economy can only be "building on the beach".
A few days ago, at the 10th Internet Security Conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, revealed that a certain country's cyber army has attacked important infrastructure such as the Chinese government, finance, scientific research institutes, military industry, aerospace, and medical industries for nearly 10 years. Shadows disappear without a trace until they are captured.
Zhou Hongyi believes that under the dual security challenges of internal and external, risks are all over the digital scene.
"As digital technologies serve the society and economy more widely and deeply, the consequences of their security problems will be more severe." Wu Hequan said that in the face of the ever-increasing cyber risks, individual combat can no longer cope, and ensuring digital security requires breaking the In order to fight the situation, realize the coordinated defense.
Wu Hequan said that digital security is no longer a purely technical issue, but a systematic project involving business, management, process, team and other aspects.
Digital security requires international cooperation, but the foundation is the establishment of my country's independent and controllable digital security technology, product and service system.
3. Establish and improve the digital security system
According to reports, from 2020 to 2021 alone, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, China, etc. have upgraded or passed laws and regulations related to data and privacy protection, while Brunei, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries are deepening its data protection framework.
For my country, how to build a strong digital security barrier in the future?
"We should actively promote the new development of digital security technology, give full play to the new role of market players, improve new rules, and help build a new Great Wall of digital economic security." Fan Youshan said that leading cybersecurity companies should give full play to their own technology, talent advantages and the role of the main body of technological innovation. Carry out basic theoretical innovation of digital security, research on major issues, and research on core technologies to facilitate the innovation and development of digital security technology.
All network security enterprises should actively participate in the formulation of international standards and rules for cyberspace, and help to form a benign data security governance system.
Wang Yiming, vice chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, said that at present, the intensification of the global cyberspace game not only brings increasingly severe challenges to my country's cybersecurity, but also provides a major opportunity for the development of the cybersecurity industry.
It is necessary to coordinate development and security, and establish a sound data security guarantee system.
Strengthen the construction of network security infrastructure, and improve the ability of network security dynamic perception, threat detection, emergency command, coordinated disposal and attack source tracing.
Improve the management methods of classification and classification, and standardize the whole life cycle management of data collection, transmission, storage, processing, sharing and destruction.
"As the country pays more and more attention to cyberspace security and the whole society's demand for the cybersecurity industry is further released, my country's cybersecurity industry will enter a period of rapid development and usher in new opportunities for high-quality development." Wang Yiming said.
Sui Jing, director of the Cyber Security Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that it is necessary to consolidate the security base, enhance the security resilience of key infrastructure, and build a network security collaborative protection system that is jointly built, shared, shared and maintained.
Promote breakthroughs in key technologies, and comprehensively enhance core capabilities such as cybersecurity risk perception, monitoring and early warning, real-time blocking, and traceability.
Accelerate the accumulation of resources, and accelerate the construction of a sound ecology for the coordinated development of production, education, research and application.
"Digital security is an important foundation for the construction of digital China and the development of the digital economy." Zhang Wang, deputy director and first-level inspector of the Information Development Bureau of the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, said that all sectors of industry, academia, research and application should strengthen technical cooperation and promote network security and data security. Theoretical and technical research develops in depth.
Timely formulate contingency plans for various problems, and conduct actual combat drills in a timely manner to improve emergency response capabilities for major security incidents.
