Dow Weber: the cloud era is not yet truly approaching

Ma jingjun, Technical Director of dotweber, talked about the spread of viruses. In the past, viruses were destructive. The main harm of the virus was to destroy users' systems and make them unable to work normally, at present, the virus has been transformed from destructive to profit-making, such as flooding Trojan horses. Therefore, users' security requirements will inevitably change. Currently, security protection focuses more on protecting users' privacy and interests. At the same time, due to a lower technical threshold, virus generation is easier than in the past, and a large number of viruses and Trojans are developed. These factors will inevitably lead to changes in user security requirements.

However, the flood of viruses does not have much to do with the cloud. In fact, the cloud advocates a sharing mode, such as sharing the virus database or sharing solutions, however, this concept of sharing has been created many years ago. Although some vendors have already launched the so-called cloud security, this is just a concept of speculation. In essence, it is nothing more than combining Early Anti-Virus products of Internet applications, such as online anti-virus, it is not a real cloud. The core of cloud security is to emphasize the security of cloud computing networks, but cloud computing networks are not actually implemented yet. Therefore, cloud security is still a vague concept. It actually hopes to replace the operating system with Internet interfaces and replace various applications with the Internet. From the perspective of Internet sharing, security vendors can say that their products are cloud security products. Of course, Ma jingjun agrees that cloud security actually exists, but it has not yet been implemented. If one day all our applications are implemented through the Internet, then the cloud era is truly approaching.

So how can we understand the position of cloud security in the entire security product? "In, he started to develop Internet security, but at that time, we didn't know enough about the Internet. Now the role of the Internet has become more and more important, affecting every corner of our lives. In the future, security vendors will certainly develop their security products on the Internet platform. This will be an overall trend, and cloud computing will also be an irreversible trend, this will affect all aspects of people's lives in the future." Ma jingjun analyzed.

Currently, cloud security claims that the client no longer needs to have a virus database but is stored on a cloud server. However, there are several problems that must be addressed. First, what should I do if the Internet is paralyzed? Second, how to ensure the security of cloud servers; third, some viruses cannot be completely cleared through online detection and removal; fourth, anti-virus lags behind, the virus solution is developed only after the virus appears, so there is nothing to do with the new virus that has not developed the anti-virus code.

Ma jingjun revealed that he is about to launch a product that is very different from existing products in the industry, but the details are kept confidential for the time being. Although this product is not a cloud security model, it must surpass the current security product. Ma jingjun reiterated that terminal security is still guaranteed on the terminal. Although cloud security has its prospects, the time has not yet reached the cloud era.
