The new trend of Silicon Valley entrepreneurship: Only one link in the safety industry chain

In a big data age, information leaks are everywhere, and everyone is in the risk of "streaking". The so-called "villains outsmart", hackers are always pervasive to break people's defensive bottom line. Now the domestic "all in one" security protection services coverage, but the targeted and offensive and defensive capabilities also weakened. In Silicon Valley, some emerging security companies have begun to attack the long-standing security-defense model of traditional security firms, choosing to focus on one aspect of security and strive to be the ultimate in one area. At the 2014 China Internet Security Conference (ISC2014) on September 24 ~ 25th, Dr. Shing, who is known as the Godfather of security entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley, introduced the innovation and development direction of American Silicon Valley's safety industry in his keynote speech, and also provided reference and thought for the development of China's security industry. Silicon Valley's subversive "New Forces" PAN (Palo Alto NX), the creator of the next firewall, has been the industry's "leader" for the third consecutive year. Since 2005, the company determined to recreate the firewall, in the face of the network security of most enterprises in a fragmented state caused by the continuing cost of it, pan as a network security company began to provide users with the next generation of firewall solutions. Of course, this idea at the beginning of the formation is not favored by people, the security industry was immersed in a unified threat management products can not extricate themselves, for pan This behavior, many manufacturers are dismissive, but now, NGFW (next firewall) now has become a new product direction in the industry, this " The concept of specialization in the surgery industry is also gradually accepted by the hardware security vendors. FireEye was founded in 2004, is a company specializing in providing safety protection products for enterprises, the establishment of exclusive hosting defense system is the main direction of FireEye, they are in the customer's system IQ load virtual machine to observe all the network behavior, in order to maintain customer network security purposes. Last September FireEye successfully listed, the market value of a one-time breakthrough of 10 billion U.S. dollars, and in January this year, FireEye spent 1 billion U.S. dollars to buy Mandiant company, to achieve strong alliances, but also to this "high-risk market" has brought a glimmer of hope. Cyphort, the next venture star in the security world. Cyphort is mainly committed to solving the automated attacks on the site, through its own technology to increase the difficulty of enemy attacks. In recent years apt attack has become a kind of persistent threat, it mainly uses advanced attack means to carry on the long-term network attack to the specific target, the smartphone, the tablet computer, the mail, the firewall and so on all become the attack target, the serious threat Enterprise's information system security. Cyphort the use of software developed by itself to address this threat, and to protect the enterprise's underlying network, database, and cloud services through a one-stop solution. Data show that as America's largest security vendor raceMentiek only accounted for 13% of sales in the U.S. last year, it can be seen that today's security market in the United States is no longer a highly integrated industry, like the above three security companies, they are no longer with the traditional security manufacturers "wide net", but the selection of a security industry chain of a link, Instead of broadening its breadth to focus on deep development, pan and FireEye are now close to tens of billions of dollars in market capitalisation, suggesting that the two companies in the US have become "new forces" to be reckoned with. The name of the "New forces" of security, the Shang of Silicon Valley's subversive innovations, may be unfamiliar, but Dr. Shing is a pivotal player in the field of cybersecurity, as the founder or key executive of three emerging security companies, pan, FireEye and Cyphort. Shang As an international security expert, Dr. Shing has more than 30 years of experience in network and security research and development, and is now co-founder of Cyphort, an internet entrepreneur and an angel investor in Silicon Valley, during which Dr. Shing invented 12 U.S. patents. Under the new security forces he led, Pan and Burner were listed and IntruVert were bought by McAfee. FireEye and fourth start-up company Cyphort are in a fast-growing period. As a behind-the-scenes driver of these "new forces" in Silicon Valley, Shang-Min is also a representative of Silicon Valley's subversive innovations. In addition, he has served as Chief Scientist and research director (McAfee, Huawei, Symantec) of several large security companies and is committed to promoting the development of new products. PAN, FireEye and Cyphort these three emerging security companies are dedicated to the development of different sectors of the security industry, avoid the reference to the "All in one" development model so that they have today's results, this "surgery has specialized" direction is Dr. Shing, to do their own things, Do fine things have become now three companies in the industry foothold in this. In ISC2014 's keynote speech, Dr. Shing said: ' Hillary Clinton says it takes a whole village to get involved so that a child can be raised. I said that the need for a full range of safety ecosystems to effectively withstand modern security threats. His point of view is that the safety industry in Silicon Valley and the United States is the most worthy of China's security industry to learn and draw lessons from: the coordination and cooperation of the security ecosystem. The future of China's security industry: Break up one after another, how to cope with the challenges of the big Data age is an unknown problem for every security enterprise. As a senior security practitioner, the 360 first seat privacy Officer Tanxiaosheng very much agree with Dr. Shing's safe entrepreneurial thinking. He believes that in the future, we do not need to be too homogeneous in the market, waste of human and material resources, the future to do is the surgery industry has specialized, do their own things and in their respective areas to do the best. Firewall, IPS, VPN, etc. by different companies in a field deep, in the same market together to foster the company to do security services to form a more effective defense mechanism, the domestic security industry has notThe trend should be to refer to the existing model of the United States. Last September, 360 announced the "360-day, 360-day, 360-day machine" Three enterprise-class products, respectively, for terminal security management, unknown threat discovery and mobile terminal security management. Now, in Silicon Valley, start-up start-ups in the field of security have made it a new trend. (Source: Sadie net)
