The hidden dangers of Internet security in China are getting bigger and bigger, and the security situation is getting more and more serious. Lu Hao, director of the National Internet Information Office, recently pointed out that China is a victim of cyberattacks. More than 10,000 websites have been tampered with each month, and 80% of government websites have been attacked. The source of these attacks is mainly from the United States.
Lu Lei, director of the Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, recently said that the current situation of Internet security in China is not good, the situation is severe and complex, and the cyber security awareness of citizens' network security awareness has become increasingly prominent, and cybercrime has also shown an upward trend.
And the source of enterprise monitoring data from security vendors is enough to illustrate this point. The data provided by Fortinet, the world's third-largest security provider, reports that the network security indicators reported on the Feta security cloud platform every two minutes are The number of botnets is 100,000, the number of malicious websites is 150,000, the number of spam is 64,000, the number of websites is 680,000, and the number of malicious files is 15,000.
Next-generation firewall solutions have been used as an important barrier to solving network security problems. Although the time for the promotion of next-generation firewall technology in China is not long, the momentum of development is strong, which shows that everyone attaches importance to the future of this technology. The main advantage of the next-generation firewall is that it protects against attacks from the application layer, which is not possible with traditional firewalls. At the same time, it can quickly find and locate problems, so that we can understand and manage the network security situation in a timely manner.
At the same time, we also see that due to the lack of standards for next-generation firewalls, the next-generation firewalls on the market today have a wide variety of products, but their functions are mixed and the market is chaotic.
How to choose a next-generation firewall?
Party A:
The chief engineer of a university research office believes that:
1. Compliance with safety standards: Call for the introduction of next-generation firewall standards, which are easier to select after the standard comes out.
2. The actual protection effect of the next-generation firewall: the actual protection effect comparison through various tests;
3. Look at the industry case: Whether there is a case accumulation with the supplier in the same industry.
4, look at brand awareness: the company's high-profile corporate technology accumulation is deep;
5. Product usability and user experience are also important factors for us to consider.
Party B:
Tan Jie, Technical Director of China Information Technology, is advised to:
1. Refusal of supplier product labeling: Currently, there are few single functions in the secure network products on the market, and the convergence of security networks is a trend. For example, online behavior management can also enhance the firewall function. At present, many firewall products can provide security functions as well as exchange functions. So if a supplier labels a product, you need to be wary, whether it is the product you really need, or just choose one for one of the functions.
2. Pay attention to the details: Is the security network product really safe? Is the performance excellent? How easy is it? How the service needs to be focused on;
3, the strength of the manufacturer: security product development and construction is a long and dynamic process, whether the manufacturer can really keep up with the rhythm in this long process?
4. Listening to it: When customers choose network security products, they must listen to the voices of all parties, especially the evaluation agencies and professional media. They are experts in this industry and have more scientific evaluation data. The authoritative evaluation in the field of security networks is the NSS organization. You can look at the report of this evaluation agency as a reference for your own choice.
5. The last piece of advice is that only the next-generation firewall (NGFW) is not enough. You should focus on choosing the overall solution, which will ensure the network security of your own enterprise.
Regardless of Party A or Party B, the proposed selection criteria are in line with their own business needs. Performance, service, ease of use, and security are fundamental.
In fact, the current network information security market in China is not large. The investment in information security of Chinese enterprises accounts for only 1% of its lT expenditure. From the perspective of the whole market, China has only 1.6 billion US dollars in 2013, and the entire lT with 204.8 billion US dollars. Compared with the market, it is really rare! Fortunately, the importance of network security products is getting more attention, we believe that security products, you need to use sooner or later!
