(Interview between the two sessions) Zhou Hongyi: Install "Network Security Brain" for the new infrastructure

  China News Agency, Beijing, May 21 (Xia Bin) The new infrastructure is a hot word in China today, and it also requires cold thinking under the investment boom it has created. "Cyber ​​security is my 'old topic', but with the proposal and implementation of the new national infrastructure strategy, there have been a lot of 'new content' this year." Zhou Hongyi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman and CEO of 360 Group, accepted China and Singapore The reporters and other reporters called for an interview to establish a corresponding "network security brain" system in the field of new infrastructure to ensure the smooth operation of the digitalization of the new infrastructure.

  Since the beginning of this year, the state has repeatedly mentioned new infrastructure, launched a number of major projects, and clearly supported the participation of multiple entities in the construction of new infrastructure. One of Zhou Hongyi's proposals this year is to suggest that the new infrastructure network security protection system be built as soon as possible.

  Why is cybersecurity important to the new infrastructure? Zhou Hongyi said that the essence of the new infrastructure is digital infrastructure, which is no longer a simple "cement + brick". New technologies such as IoT Internet of Things technology, 5G mobile communications, AI, big data, cloud computing are the foundation of the new infrastructure, and the new technology itself Will bring the possibility of being attacked by various kinds.

  "In the past, many of our factory equipment that was not connected to the Internet were connected, and many new sensors in the city were also connected. The number of connected Internet of Things devices may be 100 times that of the individual users who used the network in the past. Such a large number of terminals are all connected. When connected via 5G, any terminal may become a starting point for an attack, or it may become a shortcoming of a system. "Zhou Hongyi said.

  He said bluntly that he cannot wait until the new infrastructure is completed before considering the construction of network security. He should consider how to establish the entire security system simultaneously while building various digital systems for the new infrastructure. "Without the protection of the network security system, any digital development is like streaking, the faster it runs, the higher the risk in the future. With the support of the network security system, our new infrastructure can go faster."

  Therefore, Zhou Hongyi suggested that the overall thinking should be used to plan the top-level design of the new infrastructure network security protection system; the security infrastructure of the new infrastructure should be built simultaneously, focusing on the construction of the new infrastructure security protection capacity; the security of the big data platform should be strengthened to achieve a large security Data collaborative computing; normal network security offensive and defensive confrontation exercises should be carried out to continuously test and improve the security capabilities of new infrastructure.

  Another proposal by Zhou Hongyi focuses on 5G. In his view, network security runs through the strategic security, technical security, application security and operation security of the new infrastructure. Among them, one of the most prominent is the security problem of "a set of critical infrastructure", and a set of critical infrastructure Refers to 5G construction.

  "The value of 5G is not simply to make our mobile phones watch videos faster, but to build for our entire industrial Internet and the entire Internet of Things era." Zhou Hongyi said that as a new generation of digital infrastructure, 5G is empowering development At the same time, it will also lead to new network security risks, and its security has basic and global significance. In March of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued the "Notice on Promoting the Rapid Development of 5G", which clearly mentioned that efforts were made to build a 5G security assurance system.

  In this context, Zhou Hongyi suggested that the importance and urgency of 5G network security should be reviewed from a strategic perspective, the top-level design of 5G security should be strengthened, and the "National 5G Security Strategy" should be formulated. (Finish)
