In order to actively respond to the national strategy of "building a strong cyber power" and implement the network security responsibilities of central enterprises, on January 26, China Electronics Technology Network Information Security Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Network Security"), a subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, and China Merchants Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Merchants Group") signed the industry's first network information security overall protection service contract in Beijing, starting all-round cooperation to jointly respond to new challenges in network security and jointly ensure the security of the country's critical information infrastructure.

Yuan Leifeng, Deputy Director of the General Affairs Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Wu Manqing, Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wang Hong, Deputy General Manager of China Merchants Group, Li Chenggang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Network Security, and other relevant leaders attended the meeting and witnessed the signing. Wu Yi, Director of Information Technology of China Merchants Group, and Lei Limin, Director of China Network Security and President of Guardian Information Industry Co., Ltd., signed the service contract on behalf of both parties.

This signing is an innovative move to meet the new development requirements of the new era. It is an inevitable move to pool resources to respond to security threats to the country's critical information infrastructure and safeguard national interests. It will definitely bring about major changes in the network information security protection model of central enterprises.

Before the signing ceremony, all parties conducted in-depth discussions on how to better carry out follow-up work.

Yuan Leifeng highly affirmed the innovation of the cooperation model between the two parties, and pointed out that the strong cooperation between China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and China Merchants Group to carry out overall network security protection services is a concrete manifestation of the central enterprises implementing the requirements of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, promoting resource integration, complementary advantages and optimizing industrial layout, and is a model of cooperation, sharing and communication between central enterprises. It is hoped that the two parties will create a "model" for the overall improvement of the network security and informatization level of central enterprises through close cooperation.

Wu Manqing said that as the only large-scale technology group in China that covers the entire field of electronic information, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation has unswervingly implemented the requirements and instructions of the General Secretary in its actual work, made positive efforts in the development of the Internet and information industry, and made contributions to the construction of a cyber power. It is hoped that China Network Security will give full support in terms of service quality, emergency response, and safe operation and maintenance, and provide China Merchants Group with excellent overall network information security protection services. At the same time, it is also hoped that the two sides will set a benchmark effect through sincere cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, implement the relevant requirements of the state and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and make greater contributions to the innovation of network information security protection services for central enterprises.

Wang Hong said that network security has become an important constraint for China Merchants Group to implement the "going out" strategy and build a world-class enterprise with international competitiveness. China Electronics Technology Group Corporation is the only central enterprise in China that specializes in network information security. China Network Security, a subsidiary of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, is a politically reliable, professionally excellent, and trustworthy network security "national team". This signing not only reflects the high degree of fit between the two parties' network information security value concepts, but also shows that the cooperation between the two parties has entered a more specific and pragmatic stage.

Li Chenggang said that this signing is a major change in the network information security model of central enterprises and a new beginning. China Network Security will fully integrate internal resources during the first five-year service cycle to build a comprehensive network security management, security protection, and security service guarantee system for China Merchants Group, improve its network security protection level and ability to respond to unknown network security threats, and ensure the successful implementation of the "Digital Merchants" strategy.

In recent years, cybersecurity incidents represented by new attack technologies such as advanced persistent threats, ransomware, and data black production have occurred frequently. Cyberattacks have rapidly changed from simple technical displays to organized, long-term, and highly targeted pursuit of commercial and economic interests, and even military and political interests, which seriously damages corporate interests and poses a serious threat to national security. As the mainstay of the national economy, central enterprises shoulder a special historical mission, and their level of network information security protection has also received great attention from the country. In relevant policies and laws and regulations such as the "Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China", clear requirements are put forward for the network and information security of critical information infrastructure and important information systems.

In order to comprehensively improve the level of corporate network information security protection, China Merchants Group "issued a call for heroes" to the security industry. China Network Security and its network information security listed company Guardian successfully won the bid with its original "network information security overall guarantee service" model. In the future, the two parties will cooperate sincerely under the guidance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to help enterprises' network security transform from single protection to systematic protection, from passive defense to active defense, from local static defense to overall dynamic defense, and from the self-built and self-operated "worker patrol team" model to the "professional security team" model of overall guarantee services, to safeguard the security of the country's critical information infrastructure.
