Information systems should be deeply integrated with cybersecurity systems to deal with more challenges in the industry, experts said at the 2021 Beijing Cybersecurity Conference over the weekend.
The conference, one of the most influential and high-profile events in Asia Pacific regions, continues to focus on industry key topics, ranging from the international governance of cyberspace and the development of the cybersecurity industry, to technology innovation and talent cultivation, based on the perspectives of strategy, industry and technology.
"Cyber security has come to a new turning point," said Wu Yunkun, president of Qi-Anxin Technology Group, one of the country's major cybersecurity technology enterprises. "We must consider cybersecurity on the basis of informatization to create a healthy environment for high-quality development. Meanwhile, security systems should be constructed under systematic and engineering thinking."
According to a report released by Qi Anxin, supply chain attacks and ransomware attacks are the main challenges in global cyber security. Among the 2,557 domestic enterprise software projects analyzed by Qi Anxin, each had 66 known open source software vulnerabilities on average, which is the main channel of supply chain attack. With high activity, ransomware attacks try to paralyze the whole network of enterprises. It is the most important threat to trigger enterprises' emergency responses.
The visualization of machine learning and Aspect-oriented Security systems are the main technological transformation in network security protection, experts said.
The security field is faced with complex games while visual analysis can better help decision makers understand the data and respond with effective countermeasures, said Yuan Xiaoru from Peking University.
