IDC recently released the report "Market Glance: China's Data Security Market Atlas, 2024", which shows that at present, data security is no longer only the responsibility of the IT department, but requires cross-departmental and cross-level collaborative efforts. This year's "Government Work Report" also emphasizes the improvement of the data basic system, and vigorously promotes the development, openness, circulation and use of data. Data security and privacy protection are the prerequisites for data circulation. As a state-owned telecommunications enterprise, China Telecom has coordinated development and security while implementing the cloud transformation operation strategy, actively promoted the ecological physical strength of data security, and created a new future for the security industry.

Data Security Market to Grow by 15.6%

With the rapid development of the data economy, data has also become an important factor of production in the development of social production. According to IDC, China's data security market will continue to grow upward in the next five years, with a five-year compound growth rate of 15.6%.

As early as December 2022, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Building a Data Basic System to Better Play the Role of Data Elements" was officially released, clarifying the main line of adhering to the principle of promoting the compliant and efficient circulation and use of data and empowering the real economy. In January 2023, 16 departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission, issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Data Security Industry", proposing that by 2025, the basic capacity and comprehensive strength of the data security industry will be significantly enhanced, and the scale of the data security industry will exceed 150 billion yuan, accelerating the cultivation and value release of the data element market. At the end of February 2023, the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China and the State Council issued the "Overall Layout Plan for Digital China", which clarified the core position of building a digital China in promoting Chinese-style modernization, and listed the digital security barrier and the digital technology innovation system as the "two major capabilities", highlighting the core and foundation role of data security in digital China.

In terms of the data security market, data shows that from 2017 to 2021, the size of the mainland data security market increased from 2.29 billion yuan to 7.09 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 32.6%. In 2019, the global data security market size was about 17.38 billion US dollars (equivalent to 119.922 billion yuan), and the compound growth rate from 2019 to 2025 is expected to be 17.35%, which is about 13.73% of the global network security market size in the same period.

On the whole, the development of the digital economy and income generation need data as the foundation, and the development and growth of the data element market need data security guarantees. In the future, the field of data security will become a comprehensive emerging security field that integrates multiple capabilities, technologies, products and services, and is expected to surpass firewalls to become the largest market segment of network security in China.

Technological innovation promotes the safe circulation of data

To give full play to the value of data, data circulation is indispensable. Data circulation is a dynamic process across multiple data subjects, and technological innovation should be strengthened to achieve security and controllability throughout the life cycle of the data circulation process. Based on this, for the data element market, e Cloud relies on technical advantages to innovatively cultivate and customize a one-stop data circulation service operation that integrates the whole process of data aggregation, data governance, data sharing, data security, and data transaction application.

In Hainan, e Cloud combined its years of experience in data governance and operation with the Hainan Provincial Big Data Administration to jointly create a data business operation service platform construction plan - Hainan Data Product Supermarket. Hainan Provincial Data Product Supermarket integrates social data resources through the orderly opening of public data resources, introduces enterprises, institutions and teams with technical service capabilities and research and analysis capabilities to carry out data product development, production, circulation and trading, builds a complete data element market system, and builds an integrated construction plan for platform base and application innovation, breaking "data barriers" and "business barriers". In terms of data security, relying on its technical advantages, e Cloud Resource Pool can fully meet the cloud-native security products of the classified protection 2.0 system on the cloud, ensure that user data is not touched, and resolutely defend user data security. At the same time, through the construction of a visual modeling platform, the modeling process is completed, a unified public data operation and management system is established, a data desensitization access system is realized, and a data life cycle management system is established by building a data product supermarket transaction service platform and a data product development and utilization platform in Hainan Province.

In Fujian, e Cloud and Fuzhou Telecom jointly built a Fuzhou data transaction service platform with Fuzhou Data Asset Exchange Company. The data integrated service platform, based on the capabilities of the seven big data bases, innovatively uses the privacy computing architecture developed by China Telecom, separates the use of data assets from "data usage" and "data seeing", combines data advantages, and carries out in-depth construction of data transaction security, and realizes the security multi-dimensional operation and scenario-based model development of government affairs data + operator data + Internet data. Focusing on the three major industries of finance, transportation and new retail, it provides integrated operation service solutions for seven major scenarios, including credit investigation, anti-fraud, parking management, logistics management, market research, precision marketing, and advertising effect monitoring.
