Work control network security is one of the four major trends of network security threats in 2016

According to the 2016 Network Security prediction report recently released by Georgia Institute of Technology, there were four major trends in network security threats in 2016, of which the work control network security was one of the focuses. According to the 2015 Critical Infrastructure Security Report released by the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, ICS-CERT, in 2015, the number of critical infrastructure security incidents in the United States increased by 2014 compared with that in 20%.

In fact, many countries, including China and the US, are facing critical infrastructure, especially industrial control systems, which are facing increasingly severe security threats. According to the 2014 China Industrial Control System Security Report of Green Alliance technology, China's industrial control system security has shown three major development trends over the past four years: 1. rapid growth of industrial control vulnerabilities 2. the energy industry is vulnerable to attacks. the State hacker attack represented by the qingting organization is active, making it the biggest threat to industrial control systems.

As the security of industrial control systems is related to the national economic and political stability, the important task of improving the security of industrial control systems is mainly undertaken by local manufacturers in various countries, however, in the past, the comprehensive and in-depth analysis reports of China's industrial control security market were scarce, leading to a lack of information transparency in procurement by many enterprises and industry users in the industrial control security field, therefore, we have specially selected the comprehensive strength analysis report of China's industrial control security vendors released by niuwang, a security professional media security expert, to provide decision-making reference for the majority of CTO/CIO readers. The content is as follows:

1. Overview of industrial control security vendors

Industrial security vendors in China can be divided into three types based on their historical backgrounds:

1.1 automation background vendor

These vendors were originally engaged in automation-related businesses. Later, they were optimistic about the market opportunities of industrial control security and set up industrial control security departments or subsidiaries to enter the industrial control security field.

Typical Manufacturers include: Qingdao haitianyao Automatic Control System Co., Ltd., Beijing Li control huakang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhuhai hongrui Software Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Tianyu Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. These companies have a deep understanding of industrial control systems and ready-made customer resources. Therefore, currently, Qingdao haitianyao Automatic Control System Co., Ltd. and Beijing Li control huakang Technology Co., Ltd. have a great influence in the industrial control security market, zhuhai hongrui Software Technology Co., Ltd. has a great influence in the power industry.

Other automation manufacturers, such as hollysys group, Zhejiang Central Control Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Sifang jibao automation Co., Ltd., are mainly OEM third-party products, it is not analyzed as a major industrial security vendor.

1.2 traditional IT security vendors

These vendors were originally engaged in IT information security business. As an emerging market segment of the information security market, industrial control security has received attention and set up an industrial control security department to enter the industrial control security field.

Typical Manufacturers include: venus star Information Technology Co., Ltd./Beijing Wangyu yunxing Information Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing shenzhoulvmeng Information Security Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing zhongke wangwei Information Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Sanwei guard Information Security Co., Ltd. This type of company is characterized by the accumulation of information security technology, but lack a deep understanding of the industrial control system, and due to the current performance pressure, the investment in industrial control security is relatively small. Currently, Qiming Xingxing Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing shenzhoulvmeng Information Security Technology Co., Ltd. have some influence in the industrial control security market.

1.3 professional industrial control security Manufacturers

This type of manufacturer is basically a startup company established in the past two years. It integrates information security and automation talents, and 100% focuses on the industrial control security field.

Typical Manufacturers include: Beijing weinute Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Kuang en Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Gu shenxing Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. This type of company is characterized by focus. 100% of their businesses are industrial control security. The success or failure of industrial control security business determines the survival of the company, so they can make full efforts. Currently, Beijing weinute Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Kuang en Network Technology Co., Ltd. have a great influence in the industrial control security market.
