Zhou Hongyi: The digital city may be one of the first scenes to embrace the metaverse

Blue Whale TMT Channel December 14, 2021, today, 360 founder and chairman Zhou Hongyi delivered a keynote speech on "Building Digital Security, Escorting Urban Digitalization" at the opening ceremony of the 2021 Shanghai Digital Innovation Conference, and pointed out that "digital cities may be one of the first scenes to embrace the meta-universe, which will fundamentally change the way urban management is managed, improve management capabilities and efficiency." ”

Zhou Hongyi said that the digital city is one of the core scenarios of digitalization, and the construction of digital city has become an important engine to promote the high-quality development of the city. In essence, the digital transformation of cities is to build a digital twin of the city, that is, to guide reality with virtuality, empower the physical world with digital space, and form a digital twin closed loop, which may be one of the first scenes to embrace the metaverse.

He believes that in the digital age, cities are no longer facing simple security issues such as computer security and network security, and the biggest challenge is digital security. In the process of digital development of cities, new digital scenarios including critical infrastructure, industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, energy Internet, digital finance, smart medical care, digital government, and smart city will be produced. In this case, urban digitalization is facing complex and new digital security challenges such as upgrading to big data security, cloud security, Internet of Things security, new terminal security, network communication security, supply chain security, and application security.

It is understood that in the past 16 years, 360 has invested more than 20 billion yuan, established a network attack and defense expert team including 200 elites and more than 3800 people, and refined the attack knowledge base through the analysis of security experts on security big data. Based on this, 360 has established a set of big data analysis platforms that capture APT, forming a prototype of the 360 cloud security brain, which can establish a global perspective of attack behavior from big data and see the whole picture of network attack behavior.

Zhou Hongyi said that based on the core security capabilities cast in 16 years, 360 has formed a new tactics and new framework for digital cities, and solved digital security problems for cities by helping cities build "5 1s" digital security bases, that is, 1 supercomputing center with security brain as the core, 1 urban security research institute, 1 digital security industry base, 1 security operation service system, and 1 security company to help urban digital development. It is reported that at present, this new framework has been implemented in the security brain and safety infrastructure cluster of more than 10 cities such as Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Qingdao and Suzhou.
