In recent years, the international situation has been unpredictable. A series of conflicts and sanctions, like the currently intensified Israeli-Palestinian conflict are changing the  global tech ecosystem. So how does the peacelessness impact the cyber threat landscape?

Israeli cybersecurity companies, which hold a prominent position worldwide, face risks like supply chain disruptions and data breaches during times of war. To safeguard the core business and critical data, some companies have begun seeking alternative to prevent cyberattacks, thus raising awareness for Chinese domestic product as substitution.

Document 79 of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) mandates all state owned enterprises (SOEs) complete the replacement of “Information technology application innovation” by 2027. Firstly, Chinese domestic security products can meet compliance requirements more effectively. Secondly, domestic vendors are obliged to adhere to relevant policies and actively participate in national cybersecurity building, reducing the risk of potential external malicious interference or surveillance. Most importantly, under the influence of global disputes and penalties, it mitigates unnecessary threats and concerns, thus enabling enterprises to achieve autonomy.

President Xi said, “There is no national security without cybersecurity.” We should all recognize the uncertainty of the international situation and choose the right cybersecurity products to ensure information security and data protection based on global contexts.

Rebuilding cybersecurity architecture is a complicated and challenging task, but it is critical to protecting corporate data and meeting compliance requirements. Take this opportunity to leverage Chinese brands to restructure the ecosystem.

Together, we strengthen your cybersecurity capability to build the first line defence for our nation.
