On November 16, the 2022 Sohu Finance Summit was held. Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Group, delivered a speech on the theme of "Looking at the New Challenges of Enterprise Digital Security from Extortion Attacks".
Zhou Hongyi said that under the digital background of "big data-driven business", enterprise data assets are equal to digital assets.
The biggest threat to the digital transformation of enterprises is blackmail attacks. 360 uses its "seeing" ability to prevent blackmail attacks, protect the security of enterprise digital assets, and escort China's digitalization and the development of the real economy.
At present, digitalization has become the main theme of the development of the country and various industries. Zhou Hongyi believes that the core of industrial digitalization is "digital and real integration", and all real economies must undergo digital transformation.
"Big data drives business" means that big data has become the core of the digital economy. "The most important asset in the transformation process of a real enterprise is data, and the data assets of an enterprise are equal to digital assets."
When data becomes the foundation of future enterprise survival, data security becomes more important than ever.
However, in the process of digital transformation, enterprises face data security risks including extortion attacks, double extortion, data leakage, and data pollution.
Among them, extortion attacks have become the "public enemy number one" of enterprise digitization.
In recent years, extortion attacks around the world have shown explosive growth, and are evolving towards APT and industrialization.
66% of organizations worldwide have been attacked by ransomware, which will increase nearly five times in 2021 compared to 2020.
The situation of blackmail attacks in my country is also severe. In 2021, 360 received and dealt with more than 4,000 blackmail attacks, with service, manufacturing, catering and retail industries bearing the brunt.
"The key to assisting the digital transformation of physical enterprises is to help enterprises protect the security of data assets." Zhou Hongyi said that the most important thing to deal with blackmail attacks is to "see" the attacks before attacking the organization's encrypted data.
In response to blackmail attacks, 360 protects the security of corporate digital assets by building a security operation service system centered on "seeing".
At present, 360 has established more than 800 ransomware family libraries, and protects more than 1 million ransomware incidents every day.
In order to ensure that the digital security of small, medium and micro enterprises "do not fall behind", in the middle of this year, 360 launched the "Enterprise Security Cloud", which turned the security capabilities of serving the country into SaaS, and opened it to small, medium and micro enterprises for free. At present, there are nearly one million small, medium and micro enterprises benefit.
Zhou Hongyi said that 360 is willing to be a "free security" in the new era to help the transformation of the real industry. In the future, it will continue to use the digital security system to escort the development of China's digitalization and the real economy, and explore Chinese solutions for digital security.
