"Today we will not spray the metacosm, but will guide the metacosm to develop in a direction that is beneficial to the country and industry, and serve the real world."
Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said at the "Opening the First Year of Digital Security - 360 Group Strategy Conference" held on the 28th, "Metacosmity was 'held out' during the epidemic and is the product of digital development to an advanced stage." What I am against is a metacosm that is detached from reality and addicted to the virtual world, but I am in favor of the industrial metacosm, serving the real economy, serving the manufacturing industry, and serving the digital transformation of various traditional industries. ”
But Zhou Hongyi also believes that the higher the degree of digitization, the greater the security challenge, and future attacks on the virtual world will hurt the real world, so the security risks faced by the metacosm are essentially challenges brought about by digital security. He said: "At the national level, it is proposed to coordinate traditional security and non-traditional security, and improve the governance capabilities in the fields of network security, data security, and artificial intelligence security, marking the beginning of the first year of digital security and entering the era of great security. ”
Metacosm is an advanced stage of digitalization 360 supporting the industrial metacosm
"Just as in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets, in the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand metaversms." Zhou Hongyi believes that the metacosm is still a concept of continuous development and evolution, it is difficult to say that there is a conclusive conclusion, but it should be noted that the metacosm provides full imagination space for everyone, and at the same time, it also attracts various genres such as game school, stock speculation, coin speculation, community school and other genres, overdrawing the future of the industry.
But in the final analysis, Zhou Hongyi believes that the metacosm is built on the basis of the gradual maturity and integration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, blockchain, and other digital technologies, and is the product of digital development to an advanced stage. He favors the industrial metacosm, which provides better digital support for the real world by building a virtual space that is completely connected to the real world.
At the heart of the industrial metacosm is the digital twin. In Zhou Hongyi's view, the industrial Internet will replace the consumer Internet, become the new theme of the second half of the Internet, and reshape the traditional industry, and all industries in the future are worth redoing with digital technology.
At present, digitalization has risen to a national strategy, and future economic development, industrial upgrading, and social governance will all be based on digitalization. "The changes of digitalization to mankind will surely surpass the industrial revolution and will independently open an era," Zhou Hongyi told the guests, "when governments at all levels and traditional industries will become the protagonists of digitalization, the future will no longer distinguish between traditional enterprises and digital enterprises, all enterprises will be digital enterprises." ”
Based on this, "As a concept deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the metacosm should serve the real economy, serve the manufacturing industry, and serve the digital transformation of various traditional industries." Zhou Hongyi stressed at the press conference that among the many genres in the metaverse, 360 is a firm digital twin, that is, it opposes the metacosm that is too detached from reality and addicted to games, but supports the metacosm combined with industrial digitalization, realizes the metacosmization of the industrial Internet, and continuously empowers the digital transformation of various industries and the high-quality development of the economy.
The essence of metacostem security is digital security, and it will usher in the era of digital civilization
"For the metaverse, a lot of people see opportunities, but security practitioners see more risks." As a veteran who has struggled in the field of digital security for 20 years, Zhou Hongyi faced the security challenges brought by the meta-universe and called on "the network security industry not to cling to its shortcomings, but should be upgraded to a digital security industry to escort digital civilization." ”
The challenges of the metacosm are essentially digital security challenges. In Zhou Hongyi's view, with the advent of the meta-universe, humanity will also usher in the first year of digital security in 2022. He stressed that digitalization can make the entire human society more "smart" and may also make security more "vulnerable".
"With the advent of the era of digital civilization, under the strong demand of the metaverse, network security should also be upgraded." He said that the escalation of cyber threats is the most important symbol of the first year of digital security, "the current security risks have broken through the scope of computer security and network security, and upgraded to digital security, of which digital security not only includes data security, but also includes artificial intelligence security and network security." Especially in the context of "everything is programmable, everything must be interconnected, big data drives business, and the software-defined world", the virtual world and the real world are intertwined and integrated, the vulnerability of the whole world will be unprecedented, and attacks on the virtual world will hurt the real world.
In addition, the escalation of simple security issues to complex security challenges is another sign of the beginning of the first year of digital security. Zhou Hongyi said that the security problems in the digital age have been upgraded to eight major challenges such as big data security, cloud security, Internet of Things security, new terminal security, network communication security, supply chain security, application security, and blockchain security, including meta-universe and basic technologies used in digitalization. At the same time, security threats are intertwined with the real world, and security risks cover eight major scenarios such as critical infrastructure, industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, energy Internet, digital finance, smart medical care, digital government, and smart city, affecting national, national defense, economy, society and even personal security, rising to a major security challenge.
What is particularly noteworthy is that since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the state has clearly taken the "overall national security concept" as the guide to coordinate "traditional security and non-traditional security", and the National Security Strategy (2021-2025) proposes to accelerate the improvement of governance capabilities in the fields of network security, data security, and artificial intelligence security, which are essentially "digital security".
Zhou Hongyi said that these indicate that the upcoming 2022 is the first year of digital security, and mankind will also enter the era of great security. As a leader in digital security, 360 will launch a systematic digital security capability framework under the guidance of "three modernizations and six defenses" to help countries, cities and enterprises cope with security challenges, including future meta-universe security challenges.
