Five questions and answers about cloud security

1. What is "cloud security "?

"Cloud Security" is a huge Internet security system. It is a concrete implementation of the Internet-based anti-virus software. Specifically, the rising cloud security system consists of more than 0.1 billion clients, smart cloud security servers, and partners of hundreds of Internet heavyweight companies ).

First of all, the client, such as rising star 2009 and Rising Star Card netbook Security Assistant, integrates the "cloud security probe". After these software is installed on the user's computer, it becomes the "cloud security" client. With the development of "cloud security", a number of heavyweight manufacturers, including Xunlei, express, giant, and jiuyou, have joined the rising cloud security program, their software has also added the "cloud security probe" function to become a client.

The "cloud security probe" installed by the user can perceive the Security Information on the computer, such as abnormal Trojan Files starting to run, modification of the Key location of the system registry by the trojan, and webpage infected with viruses, the probe will upload the information to the cloud security server for in-depth analysis.

After the server performs analysis, add the analysis results to the "cloud security" system so that all clients of "cloud security" can immediately defend against these threats. Different types of threats have different processing methods. If it is a newly discovered Trojan, the "cloud security" server will send the virus pattern back to the poisoned client, so that users can immediately scan and kill the virus. If "webpage with virus" is found, the "cloud security" system will send the website address to all partners, so that companies like search engines and download software can immediately block these websites, so as to ensure the security of users in the shortest time.

2. What are the difficulties in establishing a "cloud security" system?

To establish a "cloud security" system and make it run normally, four major problems need to be solved: first, a large number of client cloud security probes are required. Second, professional anti-virus technology and experience are required. Third, it requires a large amount of capital and technical investment. Fourth, it must be an open system and a large number of partners are required to join.

A large number of client cloud security probes are required ). Only with a large number of clients can we be most sensitive to viruses, Trojans, and trojans on the Internet. At present, rising has more than 0.1 billion of its own clients. If clients of partners such as Xunlei and jiuyou are added, they can completely cover all Chinese netizens, regardless of which of them is poisoned and accesses the webpage infected with Trojans, can respond immediately.

Professional anti-virus technologies and experience are required. Rising has nearly 20 years of anti-virus technology accumulation, and hundreds of engineers have formed a R & D team. In recent years, rising has continuously won international technical certifications, and its technical strength ranks first in the world. These have made Rising's cloud security system the first technology in China, leading the world. The comprehensive application of a large number of patented technologies, virtual machines, smart active defense, and large-scale parallel computing technologies enables Rising's cloud security system to process massive amounts of reported information in a timely manner, share the processing result to each member of the "cloud security" system.

It requires a large amount of capital and technical investment. At present, Rising's cloud security system has invested more than 0.1 billion yuan in servers, bandwidth, and other hardware alone, the corresponding top technical team and continuous research spending in the next few years will be several times more than hardware investment, which is not what professional manufacturers can do.

Open Systems, and a large number of partners are required. Rising cloud security is an open system. Its probe is fully compatible with all software, even if users use other anti-virus software, you can also install software with the probe function, such as the rising card assistant, to enjoy the results of the cloud security system. The addition of hundreds of heavyweight manufacturers, such as jiuyou and Xunlei, has greatly enhanced the coverage of the "cloud security" system.

3. What is the relationship between rising cloud security and cloud computing?

"Cloud Security" is the Internet of anti-virus software. It is more like a network application, but a large number of applications of "cloud computing" technologies, including the massive amount of information captured by cloud security, analysis needs to be done, and these things must be processed by cloud computing technologies, such as clusters and distributed computing.

4. Will the Information uploaded by rising cloud security affect my privacy?

Rising cloud security strictly defines the scope of the collected information. It only collects information such as the running status and function logs of the security software, which has no private characteristics of users, there will be no privacy issues. In addition, rising offers a convenient option for users to disable cloud security information collection at any time. Of course, users will not be able to enjoy the "cloud security" results.

5. After installing software with rising "cloud security probe", will it consume my system resources and make the machine slow down?

The user experience is the primary concern of rising. Rising has a strict definition of the resources and information collected during each link of "cloud security. The "cloud security probe" is only a small module and is mainly used to collect some information. It does not need to perform any complicated operations and the system resources consumed can be ignored.
