Perceive the cybersecurity posture
"Cyber security has a stake on national security"
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that in the information age, cyber security affects national security and is closely related to the security of many other aspects.
At present, cyber security and political security, economic security, cultural security, social security, military security and other fields are intertwined and mutually influential, and its fundamental, strategic and overall position in the national security system has become more prominent.
The top-level design of cyber security is constantly improving.
The mainland has promulgated laws and regulations such as the Cybersecurity Law, the E-Commerce Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, and the Regulations on the Security Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure.
"Cyberspace has never been a place outside the law, and the mainland will unswervingly follow the path of governing the Internet according to law, comprehensively deepen the comprehensive network governance system, form an integrated governance mechanism online and offline, and build a beautiful spiritual home online. Zhao Jingwu, a researcher at the Key Laboratory of Industrial and Information Rule of Law Strategy and Management of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.
Lei Zhenwen, a researcher at the Institute of Industry and Information Technology Rule of Law at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, pointed out that the mainland regards the rule of law as an important part of the comprehensive rule of law and the construction of a cyber power.
"The construction of cyber rule of law with Chinese characteristics has not only effectively improved the mainland's Internet governance capacity, but also contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to global Internet governance. Lei Zhenwen further talked about.
Establish a cybersecurity barrier
"Enhancing Cybersecurity Defense and Deterrence"
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to implement the network security responsibility system, formulate network security standards, and clarify the protection objects, protection levels, and protection measures. It is necessary to have a clear account of which aspects should be heavily guarded and strictly guarded, which aspects should be guaranteed and appropriately guarded by local governments, and which aspects should be protected by market forces.
In this regard, Zhang Jun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing Institute of Technology, explained: "The construction of a digital society is a systematic project, which requires closer cooperation between government departments, enterprises, universities, and scientific research institutions. In terms of network security and data protection, it is necessary to strengthen the research and development and application of network security technologies to ensure the safety and reliability of the intelligent networking environment. ”
"Cyberspace governance is becoming a new field and a new battlefield for the global game. Artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other information technologies have changed the mode of economic and social development, and cyber security has become a key factor in whether a country can break through in the fierce international competition. Zhao Jingwu said.
In recent years, there has been an integrated development of cybersecurity education, technology, and industry. In 2016, the six departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Cybersecurity Disciplines and Talent Training" to promote the construction of cybersecurity disciplines and faculties, and innovate the training mechanism of cybersecurity talents. Establish a first-level discipline of "cyberspace security" and implement a demonstration project for the construction of a first-class cyber security college.
The mainland has initially established a network security protection system covering networks, systems, terminals, and applications, strengthened the security protection of critical information infrastructure, strengthened data security management and personal information protection, and further advanced the construction of network security disciplines and talents.
From the field of heavy military defense to the field of moderate prevention, and then to the field of market force protection, hierarchical protection, consolidate the foundation of talents, implement the network security responsibility system, and build a solid network security barrier.
Build a network security line of defense
"Cyber security for the people, cyber security by the people"
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that cyber security is for the people, cyber security depends on the people, and maintaining cyber security is the common responsibility of the whole society, which requires the joint participation of the government, enterprises, social organizations and netizens to build a cyber security line of defense.
In recent years, the level of data security management and personal information protection has continued to improve, the scope of personal information necessary for the collection and use of mobile Internet applications has gradually been clarified, and problems such as data abuse and data leakage have been continuously promoted.
Focusing on the needs and expectations of the masses, the Cyberspace Administration of China, in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments, issued documents clearly stipulating the scope of personal information necessary for the collection and use of common types of mobile Internet applications...... This is a clear portrayal of building a safe and clear cyberspace in accordance with the law, and it is also a responsibility to "adhere to the people-centered".
"Since 2014, the National Cyber Security Publicity Week has been held consecutively, which has effectively promoted the improvement of cyber security awareness and protection skills in the whole society. Zhao Jingwu pointed out that the practical significance of the strategy of cyber power is not only reflected in ensuring the security of national network operation and network information security, but also in creating a trustworthy cyberspace environment for the people.
"We must always adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, reflect the people's interests, reflect the people's wishes, safeguard the people's rights and interests, and improve the people's well-being in all aspects of cyber security construction, and continue to promote the regularization of cyberspace operations and the rule of law in governance, so as to escort the construction of a cyber power with a more complete rule of law system. Lei Zhenwen said.
By building a solid line of defense for cyber security and adhering to the people-centered approach, the development of the mainland's cyberspace industry will certainly make greater strides in the construction of a cyber power, and the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security in cyberspace will also continue to improve.
