BCS2021 Held in Beijing, Focusing on Operation Security
BEIJING, Aug. 31, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

At present, the digital wave has swept the world, the society has entered a new 
stage driven by data, and cyber security has become the premise and cornerstone 
of the development of digital economy. At the recent 2021 Beijing Cyber 
Security Conference (BCS2021), some experts said that facing the high 
requirements, high risks and high uncertainties in the digital age, the 
industry needs to focus on operation security and change its development 
thinking and mode.

According to the Organizing Committee of BCS2021, with the theme of "Planning & 
Operating Cyber Security Ensure Enterprise Operates Safely", BCS2021 took place 
recently in the form of a cloud summit. More than 10 CAS and CAE academicians 
and over 200 extinguished foreign guests exchanged views on and discussed hot 
topics such as security responsibility, industry trends, digital city, data 
governance, internet of vehicles, and password application. BCS is known as the 
Davos Forum in the field of cyber security. The theme words of the conferences 
in recent three consecutive years "endogenous security", "security framework" 
and "operation security" constitute a "trilogy" of cyber security.

"The 'digital epidemic' caused by network insecurity and cybercrime through 
ransomware is as serious as Covid-19. The victims and threats are global and 
have no national boundaries," John Davis, global vice president and chief 
security officer of Palo Alto Networks, a famous cyber security company, said 
in his speech at the conference.

Neil MacDonald, vice president of outstanding research at Gartner, a consulting 
firm, delivered a speech entitled "Global Cyber Security Trends in 2021". He 
said that the current global security challenges will give birth to new trends 
of security and risk management, one of which is to proactively identify risks 
by using vulnerability and attack simulation tools.

In the face of a complex cyber security situation, it is necessary to establish 
an overall, systematic, and dynamic protection concept, adhere to bottom-line 
thinking and proactive defense, and comprehensively deal with the ever-changing 
security risks.

What is the dynamic protection concept? Qi Xiangdong, co-chairman of the 
conference and chairman of Qi-Anxin Group, said: "Network security involves 
both attack and defense, just like spear and shield. If you develop an advanced 
shield, it will fall behind after a period of time, because your opponent will 
definitely develop a more advanced spear against the shield. Therefore, no 
security protection is once and for all and always advanced."

He further explained that the realization of cyber security is a dynamic 
process of improvement, and only by constantly upgrading security capabilities 
can complex problems be solved. To this end, more efforts should be made to 
enhance security capability to protect complex systems and complex 
transactions; mobilize sufficient human and financial resources to meet 
unlimited security demand; provide professional and efficient security 
operation services to resist complex network attacks; strengthen cognitive 
ability to form strong situational awareness; turn security products into 
capabilities, resources and services; comprehensively improve credit capacity, 
refine the credit, and achieve dynamic control through dynamic evaluation of 
trust.
