Dual Tactics Adopted to Ensure Information Security in China
Bai Yi, director of China National Laboratory of Computer Network and Information Security, said on June 5 that China should develop its own information industry on the one hand and stipulate strict regulations on management and prevention on the other in order to strengthen the management of information security.
He noted that as some key technologies for the Chinese computers are imported, and so in many aspects we have to rely on other countries and the United State, a superpower in information, is trying to monopolize the information industry in the world. In such a serious situation as we are confronting, it's necessary for China to adopt the dual tactics at the same time.
The expert says, China should develop its own information industry to gradually take the place of imported products with homemade ones, such as the operating system, router and chip. He also reminded that this can be carried out step by step as time goes on for it takes time for domestic products to rise in the competition and replace the imported products, and surely this can't be accomplished at a go.
Moreover, before the Chinese information industry is capable to compete that of developed countries, China should lay stresses on countermeasures of rules and regulations and the network. security as well. So far, China has done quite a lot to tighten regulations, offer technological support to ensure the network and information security.
He also indicated that the management is the most serious hidden trouble for the information security. Taking the hacker battle online between China and the US of last month for example, though only simple methods were resorted to by the US hackers, that could be fully warded off with the present technology, yet quite a few Chinese webs were still attacked. It is the neglect in management to blame.
