CERNET and Shengbang Security have reached a strategic cooperation, allowing colleges and universities to experience more efficient and convenient Web security governance SaaS services

[51CTO.com original article] On October 24, CERNET Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CERNET") and Yuanjiang Shengbang Network Security Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shengbang Security") held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony in Beijing. Du Peilin, deputy general manager of CERNET, and Quan Xiaowen, CEO of Shengbang Security, signed a strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of both companies. In the future, the two parties will deepen their cooperation in the education industry and provide network security governance, website security defense and security operation and maintenance services in the form of SaaS to colleges and universities across the country.

At the signing ceremony, Du Peilin, deputy general manager of CERNET, said that after more than a year of in-depth communication and understanding, Shengbang Security has two outstanding advantages that have attracted the attention of CERNET: first, the WAF product has excellent performance and very good stability; second, it has a deep understanding of Web security in domestic universities. The idea of ​​using Web security governance to solve Web security problems in universities proposed a year and a half ago was quite advanced.

Du Peilin also pointed out that CERNET has 17 years of rich experience in operating education networks, is very familiar with the information construction and application status of colleges and universities, and has strong network service SaaS capabilities. In the field of network security, the cooperation between CERNET and Shengbang Security can be described as complementary advantages. The next step will be to pilot in colleges and universities and gradually promote it so that colleges and universities across the country can quickly experience the value of network security governance.

Quan Xiaowen, CEO of Shengbang Security, said that the education industry is a market that Shengbang Security attaches great importance to. Many domestic colleges and universities have limited school funding, and their technical and IT management levels are not high. Therefore, even if they purchase a Web security governance platform, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect. The SaaSization of network security is the general trend. Providing Web security governance services through SaaS not only saves labor costs, but also simplifies operation and maintenance, making it easier for college teachers to accept. He said that Shengbang Security attaches great importance to cooperation with CERNET. In the future, Shengbang Security will continue to recruit talents, enhance technical strength, and work with CERNET to create a better network security governance platform.

Wang Zuwei, deputy general manager of CERNET, believes that the cooperation with Shengbang Security is very important to improve, supplement and enhance the important service capabilities of CERNET. As we all know, the informatization of colleges and universities covers all aspects of campus construction, such as smart classrooms, network infrastructure construction, etc. Therefore, the informatization construction of colleges and universities is a long-term process, which requires the vision of "long-term development". In this regard, Shengbang Security's development plan for the education industry and CERNET hit it off. He hopes that in the future, a pilot project can be carried out in the province first, so that domestic colleges and universities can pay full attention to it, and then truly understand the needs of colleges and universities, and use the opportunity to truly leverage this market. Finally, he expressed his confidence in the cooperation between the two parties. In the future, CERNET will use its existing marketing advantages to promote the Web security governance platform more widely.

CERNET and Shengbang Security's emphasis on network security governance in domestic colleges and universities is not "groundless worry". Although many colleges and universities have deployed a number of security products, such as Web firewalls, the information departments of colleges and universities do not have a deep understanding of network security, and the products provided by security vendors cannot fully match the particularity of the education industry, resulting in many equipment vulnerabilities, untimely updates, and frequent tampering of campus network pages. What's more, teachers and students in colleges and universities privately set up servers without taking protective measures, resulting in very high security risks and making it difficult for college leaders to fully grasp the status of website assets. All of this makes colleges and universities a weak link in security protection. Obviously, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. CERNET and Shengbang Security also see this.

Jin Mingfeng, deputy general manager of Shengbang Security, also gave a detailed introduction to the cooperation between the two parties: CERNET is currently promoting the University Net Shield platform. The University Net Shield is a shared Web application firewall deployed in the education network, that is, to establish a Web real-time protection system on the provincial backbone node of CERNET, and to divert the website access traffic that needs real-time protection from colleges and universities through security technology, clean it, and then send it back to the website for continued access. Shengbang Security has launched a real-time protection pilot in the form of BGP diversion, and has already launched the SaaS service of the Web security governance platform in Henan Province, connecting with more than 20 colleges and universities to provide Web security governance, detection, and operation and maintenance services, truly achieving non-perception and zero-configuration operation and maintenance protection for colleges and universities throughout the process. "The person in charge of information technology in colleges and universities only needs to install an APP on the mobile phone to disconnect from the Internet with one click and block security attacks." He gave an example.

It is worth mentioning that Shengbang Security pays special attention to network security SaaS services. Shengbang Security has specially established a professional cloud security operation company, namely Beijing Shengbang Saiyun Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Shengbang Saiyun), which focuses on cloud security operation services and transforms Shengbang Security's many years of security detection and security defense capabilities into cloud security service capabilities for SaaS operations. So far, we have cooperated with Jiangsu Telecom to establish a cloud security defense platform, which protected hundreds of important government units during the 19th National Congress. In the future, we will work with CERNET to jointly develop the education industry, help college users quickly respond to network security challenges, and enjoy more convenient and efficient security services.
