Cisco involved in prism door: had been involved in all Chinese military and military network construction

Cisco is said to be involved in the construction of almost all of China's large network projects, involving the network construction of key sectors such as government, customs, postal services, finance, railways, civil aviation, medical services and military police, as well as the network infrastructure of telecom operators such as China Telecom and Unicom.


　　


Spy War plays always hang people's appetite.


　　


last week, former CIA employee Snowden's "Prism leak Door" is known as the real-world version of the American blockbuster, handsome agents, glamorous pipe dance girlfriend, sophisticated state secrets, betrayal and flight, Secret Service bureaucracy and Lies, a mixed Hong Kong, depressed black president, Conflict between personal privacy and national interests ... All kinds of elements are complete, some people even play a good name: "Leaked Snowden."


　　


, a project called the Prism, secretly uses software to monitor internet users and phone records. Now, the debate about whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor is still in the air, and the whereabouts of Snowden are pending. Despite these distractions, the interests of the companies and industries involved are a relatively clear picture.


　　


in Snowden, nine companies, including Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, AOL, Paltalk, Skype and YouTube, were accused of spying on the company, which is suspected of opening its servers to the U.S. National Security Agency, Makes it easy for governments to monitor mail, instant calls and data access by millions of internet users worldwide.


　　


Subsequently, the companies strongly denied the charge. But on June 14, Facebook and Microsoft, for the first time, acknowledged that the U.S. government had asked them for user data and published part of the data to get rid of the prism door as soon as possible.


　　


at the same time, the domestic media have turned their sights on potential information security threats to China by some US communications companies, such as the accusations against Cisco, as it exposed the NSA's monitoring of Chinese networks and computers through Cisco routers.


　　


Cisco is said to be involved in the construction of almost all of China's large network projects, involving the network construction of key sectors such as government, customs, postal services, finance, railways, civil aviation, medical services and military police, as well as the network infrastructure of telecom operators such as China Telecom and Unicom. China Telecom 163 and China Unicom 169 are the most important two backbone networks, both carrying more than 80% of China's internet traffic. But in these two backbone networks, Cisco occupies more than 70% of its share and dominates all the super core nodes.


　　


However, Cisco is the U.S. government and the military's communications equipment and network technology, the main supplier of equipment. Cisco was one of the most important designers in a "cyber storm" cyber warfare exercise involving 115 U.S. government departments in 2006. So security experts worry that once the war breaks out, the U.S. government is likely to use Cisco's products deployed around the world to launch a cyber war against the enemy.


　　


China's communications operators some subtle moves may reflect this concern. Last October, China Unicom completed the relocation project of the core cluster router of 169 backbone Jiangsu Wuxi node, which is the relocation project of Jieshou Cisco trunking router in communication industry. This is likely to be a landmark event, indicating that China's communications enterprises have begun to face the problem of information security, and began to work on the replacement of existing network equipment.


　　


when Cisco was involved in the "Prism Gate" incident, data released by market research firm Synergyresearchgroup showed that Cisco had defeated HP and IBM as the largest IT product provider in the cloud market. Cisco's Chinese market has a revenue of more than 1.6 billion dollars, accounting for 30% of the company's total profits. It can be expected that the "Prism gate" incident may have caused its business in China to suffer a setback. In addition to Cisco, companies such as Microsoft and Apple are expected to have a certain impact on their operations in China.


　　


in fact, last year when the United States blocked Huawei and ZTE, security experts continued to call on the government to pay attention to China's network security issues. Therefore, the author thinks, in cloud computing and large data rise, the country has more and more attention to network information security, "Prism door" event is a greater warning, perhaps the next China will be on the network security legislation, the Government, central enterprises, the military and other procurement of domestic provisions.


　　


From the point of view of Enterprise Technical Reserve, the level of communication technology in our country has reached the world standard, and the local enterprises have the ability to carry the comprehensive construction and safe operation of the network. Therefore, the upgraded national information security strategy will not only be beneficial to Huawei, ZTE and other communication equipment providers, but will also benefit many companies involved in cloud computing and large data.


　　


For example, the upcoming cloud computing standards will probably pay more attention to security issues, which will enable the local hardware and software production, system integration and cloud computing platform providers to usher in greater development space. Similarly, large data center construction and maintenance, data processing, speech recognition, IT consulting, information security and other enterprises will also usher in great business opportunities.
