On October 31st, the 2023 "Tianfu Cup" International Cybersecurity Competition and Tianfu International Cybersecurity Forum opened in Chengdu. Chen Jing, an academician of the CAE Member, said in his speech that at present, China's land, sea, air and space integrated information network industry and infrastructure are "strong in the land and weak in the sky", "strong inside and weak outside" and other problems. In the future, efforts can be made to strengthen the deep integration of network architecture, technical system, and application service support system, promote the integration of communication, navigation, remote sensing, and other systems, establish a comprehensive spatial information network for services, promote the autonomous and controllable upgrading of space-based network technology and high-end industries, and strengthen the construction of system security protection capabilities.

With the continuous acceleration of digitization and intelligence, we are rapidly entering the era of digital intelligence. The widespread application of information technology and network technology has changed our way of life and work. However, this change has also brought a series of security issues. Qi Xiangdong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman of the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and Chairman of Qi'anxin Group, believes that in the era of digital intelligence, vulnerabilities are inevitable, and the core issue of network attack and defense is actually the exploration and utilization of vulnerabilities. Traditional security protection methods have four major shortcomings: unclear asset inventory, invisible risks, inability to prevent attacks, and untimely disposal. In this context, government and enterprise institutions need to establish a systematic security defense line from four aspects: system security, linkage operation, defense in depth, and talent enhancement.

With the continuous conflicting progress of advanced hacker technology tools and artificial intelligence technology, the number of APT attacks targeting key industries and areas is rapidly increasing. Yun Xiaochun, Chief Scientist of Zhongguancun Laboratory, stated that APT attacks exhibit the characteristics of a large number, strong technical capabilities, high confrontation, and high concealment. It is urgent to break through data barriers, build a national authoritative threat intelligence base, and a national level APT defense platform. Quickly detect and defend against known and unknown attacks through the "APT Iceberg Defense Technology Architecture".

At the roundtable forum on "The Main Issues and Countermeasures Faced by Digital Transformation", guests conducted in-depth discussions around the two core elements of the digital era, "Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC)" and "Data Security". The guests unanimously agreed that AIGC can combine existing industries and technologies to innovate production tools and technologies, effectively solving the problem of information and capacity asymmetry. However, this needs to be established on the premise of accurate data, algorithms, and computing power, and also requires data security and network security to run through the entire process. (Muyi)
