Cloud Security promotes industry formation Alliance

For the Common market target, two competitors, though not cooperating, have indeed stood in the same trenches. November 1, 2011, the Second Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Summit Forum was held as scheduled, it is noteworthy that NSFocus and Venus Chen Two direct competition friends became the Forum's Joint undertaker.

Safe Spring

Cloud computing will be the key technology that affects the entire IT industry over the next 10 years, and cloud security is critical to the successful application of cloud computing. If cloud computing is the spring of the IT industry, that cloud security is the spring of the security industry. In recent years, the domestic security industry has not broken through the 10 billion yuan mark, and cloud security is expected to change this situation.

Of course, for this opportunity to change the status quo of the industry, security companies must make corresponding efforts.

NSFocus is a member of the Cloud Security Alliance, and Wu Yunkun, vice president of NSFocus, asked: "What do we have now?" Security software, and hardware boxes. But what do users need? Users need to meet the needs of large-scale computing, rapid and dynamic updating of security capabilities, on demand to provide security business capabilities. "Therefore, Wu Yunkun that, out of the past simple hardware and software entity procurement ideas, information security return to the nature should be a service and ability, the new situation of information security should pay more attention to security itself." But the security intelligence is the next generation security key ability, the knowledge base, the security ability, the service ability will constitute the security intelligence core.

Change and invariant of cloud security

Venus Chen is also one of the important members of the Cloud Security Alliance, Chief strategic officer Pan Juting said, cloud computing and other emerging computing patterns bring it a lot of subversive changes, but there are always some it fundamental principle is unchanged, there are always some security principles are unchanged.

By taking these immutable principles and principles as a function, bringing new things such as cloud computing into place, new opportunities, new challenges and innovations are created. For example, the network is an eternal topic in it, the network problem is the problem of space-time, cloud computing changed the time and space, but the network or group network; Traditional network security to the landing to analyze the security domain and business flows, cloud computing environment is the same.

At the same time, Pan Juting also believes that cloud computing will change the security enterprise operating model. "The purchase of safety equipment does not necessarily work, and security equipment cannot replace people." In the era of cloud computing, security equipment requires professional security personnel to carry out the operation, traditional security enterprises can change the marketing model. ”
