In 2019, although China has made new achievements in the field of cybersecurity, the situation in the global cyberspace is still complicated. Artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G and other disruptive strategic new technologies are advancing by leaps and bounds, basic applications such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things continue to deepen, and network security issues such as data leakage, high-risk vulnerabilities, network attacks, and related intelligent crime With the development of new technologies showing new changes, network security issues are facing new challenges.
The road to the development of global cybersecurity in the future has a long way to go, and China's cybersecurity is still in its infancy, and the cybersecurity industry is promising. The editor compiled the current status of cybersecurity in 2019, so as to look forward to the future development trend of cybersecurity.
status quo
1. Increasingly strict safety supervision
Compliance policies have been introduced to improve the service space of network security products. The "Network Security Law" has been promulgated, which clearly proposes that the state implements a network security level protection system from the legal level; the introduction of iso-guarantee 2.0 brings new growth momentum to the network security industry. The increased efforts to protect the net highlight the importance the country attaches to cyber security.
2. The network security market grows steadily
Driven by the policies of governments around the world, the scale of the global information security industry has entered a stage of continuous growth, and the scale of the network security industry is close to US $ 140 billion. The scale of China's cybersecurity industry in 2019 exceeds 60 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of over 20%, which is significantly higher than the international average growth rate of 8%. According to data from the China Academy of Information Technology, the size of China's cybersecurity market is expected to exceed 90 billion yuan in 2021.
3. The security industry has a huge talent gap
According to the latest report from foreign media Cybercrime Ventures: By 2021, the global cyber attack losses may be as high as 6 trillion US dollars (this figure was only 3 trillion US dollars in 2015). Due to the rampant cybercrime, the world is expected to There were 3.5 million vacancies. The network security unemployment rate continues to hover around zero. In China, the "2019 China White Paper on Cybersecurity Development" also pointed out that in the future, global cybersecurity talents will still be scarce resources. As of 2020, the demand for cybersecurity talent in China is expected to reach 1.6 million. In terms of talent structure, the distribution of talents at both ends of the offense and defense is unreasonable; there are relatively many personnel in operation and maintenance, technical support, management, risk assessment and testing, and relatively few employees in strategic planning, architecture design, and network security laws.
4. Security industry wages continue to rise
In terms of salary, some surveys have shown that in the past two years, domestic cybersecurity practitioners have experienced significant salary increases. Currently, 100,000-300,000 / year salary is the mainstream of cyber security practitioners, accounting for 75.18%. The salary level is 20.6% above 300,000 / year, compared with 9.2% in 2016, a significant increase in the proportion. The Max Research Institute released the "2018 Chinese University Student Employment Report", and the information security major ranked first in the information of "Top 10 Majors with Monthly Income After Half a Year for Undergraduate Graduates". In first-tier cities, the average monthly salary of security (penetration) engineers is 14,820 yuan.
trend
1. The market scope is horizontal and vertical expansion mode 5G has realized the integration of computing and communication. The network operation and maintenance based on big data and artificial intelligence has reduced human errors. Intelligent monitoring is conducive to improving the network's security defense level, but 5G's Virtualization and software-defined capabilities also introduce new security risks. At the national level, developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan have strong market competitiveness and large market demand; the “Belt and Road” underdeveloped countries' cybersecurity urgently needs to strengthen regional security cooperation among countries along the Belt and Road to form a cybersecurity ecosystem.
2. The market shifts from hardware-driven to service-driven network security services as an inevitable trend in the development of the network security industry has become a key area of concern for global network security vendors. In 2019, security services accounted for the first place with a spending scale of 47 billion US dollars (approximately 330.75 billion yuan).
According to the definition of IDC, the network security service market is composed of four sub-markets: consulting services, integration services, IT education and training, and managed security services (MSS). Among them, managed security services help companies improve their security defense and response levels by providing users with more accurate and efficient security services, and become the world's largest new demand for network security services.
3. Technology development puts forward new technologies and demand ideas for network security
Artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G, quantum communication, industrial Internet, big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other disruptive strategic new technologies are advancing by leaps and bounds. While network security issues are becoming more diversified, they are also means of attack and defense of network security. And management provide new technology and demand ideas. Global cybersecurity will change from single combat to coordinated operations, and competition in national cybersecurity technologies will also be increasingly encouraged. At present, the situation of cybersecurity talents is grim, and employees generally have shortcomings in knowledge reserves and skills. Improving the cybersecurity talent training system will become a top priority.
