Building a Strong Network Security "Firewall", People's Daily Review: Breaking the "Security Island"
Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the guarantee of security. Security and development should be promoted simultaneously. For the internet information industry, it is even more important to uphold the bottom line of security and achieve better development.
The 2023 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week will be held nationwide from September 11th to 17th, and the opening ceremony and other activities will be held in Fuzhou, Fujian. Since the first National Cybersecurity Awareness Week was held in 2014, various regions and departments have extensively carried out activities such as cybersecurity in communities, rural areas, enterprises, government agencies, campuses, military camps, and households, promoting the concept of cybersecurity, popularizing cybersecurity knowledge, and promoting cybersecurity skills, effectively promoting the improvement of cybersecurity awareness and protection skills throughout society.
Cybersecurity is for the people, and cybersecurity relies on the people. This year's Cybersecurity Propaganda Week will continue to be themed around this topic. Through forums, seminars, exhibitions, competitions, and other forms, it will encourage the participation of party and government agencies, scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises, social organizations, and the public, and comprehensively create a strong atmosphere for the whole society to jointly build a cybersecurity defense line.
Without cybersecurity, there would be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and the interests of the general public would be difficult to safeguard. This has largely become a social consensus. With the development of the Internet, people realize that it is a "double-edged sword", which will benefit society and people if used properly; If not used properly, it can become a tool for some people to harm the public interest and the interests of the people. From a practical perspective, network security threats and risks are becoming increasingly prominent, warning us to face the complex and severe network security situation more seriously, maintain a clear mind, work together to jointly manage and effectively maintain network security.
The network dividend comes from technology, and network security calls for technological support. From September 10th to 16th, this year's Cybersecurity Expo was held at the Fuzhou Strait International Convention and Exhibition Center. The exhibition areas for key information infrastructure protection, data security, personal information protection, network security products and services will present the achievements of technology empowering security. From the perspective of governance practice and development trends, continuously improving the network governance system requires vigorously developing core technologies, strengthening social security guarantees for key information foundations, and building a secure and controllable information technology system. By applying technology to technology and managing technology with technology, we can achieve one foot higher than magic and one foot higher than the road. Maintaining network security can be targeted, precise, and effective.
Ideas determine actions. To safeguard network security, it is necessary to establish a correct view of network security. This requires a full understanding that network security is a holistic, dynamic, open, relative, and common characteristic. Especially in the information age, network security plays a crucial role in national security. It requires the establishment of dynamic and comprehensive protection concepts, as well as the participation of the government, enterprises, social organizations, and the general public to jointly build a network security defense line. In this sense, only by sowing the seeds of cybersecurity throughout society, deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, sprouting, blossoming, and bearing fruit, can we gather common responsibility and truly transform security concepts into actions to maintain security.
To safeguard network security, it is necessary to know where the risks are, what kind of risks they are, when they occur, and to enhance network security defense and deterrence capabilities. Perceiving the network security situation and doing a good job in risk prevention should be accompanied by strategic and tactical deployment, which is an important manifestation of network governance capabilities. There should be clear accounts of which aspects require heavy military defense and strict prevention, which aspects are guaranteed and moderately guarded by local governments, and which aspects are protected by market forces. Looking at it from a different perspective, holding a Cybersecurity Awareness Week is also a part of enhancing the public's awareness and skills in cybersecurity, and is an important part of the country's cybersecurity work.
There is no "security island" in cyberspace, and there are no bystanders to maintain network security. Taking the Cybersecurity Promotion Week as an opportunity, we will continuously strengthen the awareness of cybersecurity in the whole society, and truly build a "firewall" for cybersecurity in people's minds. Only then can the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the general public in the development of information technology be more enriched, guaranteed, and sustainable.
