China's Practice in Cybersecurity Governance Provides a Demonstration Sample for the World | Cyberspace | Global

In recent years, while digitization has brought various conveniences, it has also increased the risk of information leakage. Cybersecurity concerns the lives and property interests of the people, and is an important component of national security. How to effectively ensure network and information security is an important issue in the digital age.

From August 27th to 29th, at the first Cyberspace Security Summit Forum hosted by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, organized by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and the Tianjin Public Security Bureau, and co organized by the Cybersecurity Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the Binhai New Area Government, nearly 800 domestic and foreign guests faced this important topic, discussed cybersecurity countermeasures, and explored the practical path of comprehensive cybersecurity governance in China.

Tamping the foundation and planting thick soil for Tianjin's network security

"Security companies need to help the country truly solve problems, not just sell goods." The speech by Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, received applause.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, because Zhou Hongyi has returned home. At present, 360 has built the first national information and innovation security center in Tianjin, and plans to build an enterprise digital security service center this year. With the concept of "security as a service", 360 will provide security custody and operation services for tens of thousands of large and medium-sized enterprises in Tianjin, including enterprises that were previously "unaffordable or not well used" in the scope of protection, and improve the overall urban security level of Tianjin.

Not only 360, many companies have found a sense of "home" in Tianjin.

In recent years, the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Government have attached great importance to cybersecurity work and have successfully held four consecutive international anti virus conferences. They have gathered a group of leading cybersecurity enterprises such as Kirin Software, Feiteng, and Shuguang, as well as a number of cutting-edge research institutes such as the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center and the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center. They have continuously promoted the construction of digital economy, digital society, digital ecology, and digital civilization, and are fully committed to building an information and innovation industry system and a national level cybersecurity industry base.

At the same time, Tianjin took the opportunity to hold the National Cybersecurity Awareness Week, focusing on hot issues such as personal information protection and telecommunications fraud prevention, and effectively mobilizing the participation of the whole population through a combination of online and offline efforts. Every year, thousands of themed activities are organized to popularize network security knowledge, enhance network security awareness and protection skills, and create a strong atmosphere for the whole society to jointly build a network security defense line in a form that is popular among the public.

The cyberspace is not a lawless place. Tianjin is the first city in China to establish a network data security law enforcement team and improve the network data security law enforcement system. The Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Establishment of a Comprehensive Network Governance System in Tianjin City has been issued, adhering to the principles of unified governance, legal governance, technological strengthening, and collaborative governance. We will continue to increase administrative law enforcement efforts, regulate administrative law enforcement behaviors, resolutely investigate and deal with various illegal cases in accordance with the law, and continuously improve the level of network governance in accordance with the law.

The above details depict the "Tianjin background" in maintaining cybersecurity, and also cultivate a fertile soil for Tianjin to build a high standard cybersecurity system.

Continuously exploring and forming vivid practices in Chinese governance

In the era of the Internet of Things, opportunities and risks coexist.

"From the distribution data of the industries affected by blackmail in the first half of 2023 monitored by the Alibaba Cloud Security Center, the Internet infrastructure, retail industry and manufacturing industry are still the hardest hit areas for blackmail threats on the cloud. In this regard, a malware interception sample library should be established to continuously monitor historically active blackmail families, automatically generate sample detection rules for variants, automatically collect behavior characteristics and attack methods of blackmail families, and effectively intercept unknown variants of known families." Lei Tao, the general head of office security of Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group, shared the data and put forward suggestions.

Without cybersecurity, there would be no national security, and the interests of the general public would be difficult to safeguard.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the development of China's cybersecurity work has entered a fast lane, and various work has made positive progress, forming a series of vivid practices and valuable experiences.

In recent years, China has accelerated the top-level design in the field of cybersecurity, formulated and improved strategic plans, laws and regulations, and standard specifications related to cybersecurity, and established the "four pillars and eight pillars" of cybersecurity; Effectively connecting with the National Cybersecurity Emergency Plan, industries such as finance, energy, communication, and transportation have successively formulated and revised their own cybersecurity emergency plans, continuously improving their security protection systems and enhancing their emergency response and disposal capabilities; Since 2019, China has completed the detection of 3.22 million mobile Internet applications, and reported and removed nearly 3000 illegal mobile Internet applications

In recent years, China has always actively explored governance paths to protect the lives and property of the people in terms of rectifying the network ecological chaos and strengthening the management of Internet services.

Taking Multiple Measures to Build a Global Co governance Demonstration Sample

The Internet is the common home of mankind. It is the common responsibility of the international community to make this home more beautiful, cleaner, and safer.

"In the field of anti virus, communication and cooperation among cross-border cybersecurity experts are becoming increasingly important, especially information exchange among anti virus software experts, which is crucial for improving the knowledge and skills of professionals and promoting global anti virus work." said Alan Dell, President of the Asian Association of Anti Virus Researchers.

In recent years, China has continuously expanded its circle of friends in the field of cybersecurity, contributing Chinese wisdom, solutions, and paths to building a peaceful, secure, open, and cooperative cyberspace. At the same time, we will comprehensively promote international cooperation in cutting-edge fields such as digital economy and artificial intelligence, and gather consensus on global cyberspace governance.

In addition, China has constantly strengthened international exchanges and cooperation on Internet governance and cybersecurity, and promoted the establishment of a multilateral, democratic and transparent international Internet governance system. In particular, the "four principles", "five propositions", "four commons" and other Chinese wisdom on global Internet development and governance have been widely recognized by the international community, and important concepts such as a community of shared future in cyberspace have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The network is boundless, and security is bounded. We have reason to believe that, standing at a new historical starting point, China will comprehensively strengthen its network security guarantee system and capacity building, and will inevitably create a new pattern of network security work.
