In the past few years, the pace of development of industrial Internet has gradually accelerated, and according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), China's industrial Internet reached a scale of $611 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of about 13% over the next five years.
As the country accelerates the construction of major projects and new types of infrastructure that have been identified (referred to as new infrastructure), mainly including 5G, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, data centers and other seven major areas. The "new infrastructure" has become the focus of heated discussions overnight, and the industrial Internet, as a typical representative of the new infrastructure wave, has been pressed the "shortcut button".
Industrial Internet security has become a new "growth pole"
The construction of the industrial Internet includes three major functional systems: network, platform and security. The industrial Internet security involves all aspects of the industrial Internet, through monitoring and early warning, emergency response, detection and evaluation, attack and defense testing and other means to ensure the healthy and orderly development of the industrial Internet, the development of the industrial Internet is of great significance.
"The development of China in the next 10 years depends on the industrial Internet, and the cornerstone of the development of the industrial Internet is industrial Internet security." Ren Enhancement, Chairman of Hexagon Cloud, said.

Unlike traditional information security, which focuses on protecting the information and data assets of enterprises, industrial Internet security protects the normal production of industry, which is related to the country's economic lifeblood.In August 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and ten other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Security of the Industrial Internet", which specifies the industrial Internet security Guidelines and overall objectives, by the end of 2020, the industrial Internet security system was initially established; by 2025, the system and mechanism were sound and perfect, the technical means capacity was significantly improved, the security industry formed a scale, and a more complete industrial Internet security system was basically established.
In the top-level design, the state from the policy side to the future high-speed development of industrial Internet security clear objectives. "In the next few years, the scale of China's industrial Internet security industry will reach or exceed the current market scale of China's information security," said Ren Enhanced.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the stock size of China's industrial Internet security industry grew from 1.34 billion yuan in 2017 to 2.72 billion yuan in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate as high as 42.3%. The growth rate is much higher than the traditional security market. According to IDC, the overall spending of China's cybersecurity market will reach $7.35 billion in 2019. Over the next five years, the overall spending on China's cybersecurity market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.1%.
Along with the super wind mouth of the new infrastructure, the cornerstone role of industrial Internet security will be further consolidated, forming a new "growth pole" comparable to the traditional information security market.
Filling the gaps in domestic industrial Internet security
Although the industrial Internet security in the policy surface forward-looking guidance, already has a high-speed development of the basic conditions, but faced with a lack of talent and technology, new scenarios, new risks, low level of security protection, "embarrassing" status quo.
Hexagon Cloud CTO Wang Zhimin analyzed, "First of all, the gradual vertical integration of OT and IT, the urgent need for convergence of security technology and convergence of security talent; secondly, the industrial Internet a large number of new technologies, the urgent need to solve the cloud computing, the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and other new technologies, new scenarios under the security threat; and the vast majority of the industrial system using Foreign brands, at the beginning of the development are not considered security protection, there is an urgent need for effective security detection and protection solutions."
It is precisely by combining its own deep understanding of the industrial Internet and industrial information security and the current general demand for industrial Internet security that Hexagon Cloud, with reference to the Industrial Internet Architecture (Version 2.0) released by the China Industrial Internet Industry Alliance, the Industrial Internet Security Architecture, the U.S. Industrial Internet Security Reference Architecture (IIRA G4), and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's release of the Internet of Things Security Guidelines", on May 26, 2020, Hexagon Cloud officially released the "Industrial Internet Security Architecture White Paper V1.0".
The purpose is to hope that the whitepaper can unite industrial **** knowledge and the power of all parties to guide the industrial Internet security technology innovation and product solution research and development, to help the industrial Internet from the concept to the ground, and to promote industrial enterprises to carry out the construction of the industrial Internet at the same time, will be synchronized with the safety and security of the synchronization of planning, synchronization of the construction, synchronization of implementation.
"The development of China's Industrial Internet cannot be separated from the ****same efforts of all parties. The reason why Hexagon Cloud is one step ahead, hoping to contribute to the national industrial Internet security." Said Zhimin Wang, CTO of Hexagon Cloud.
"Not to plan the whole picture is not enough to plan a domain", as the first domestic white paper for industrial Internet security architecture, Hexagon Cloud not only fills the domestic gap. From the perspective of industrial linkage, it is even more valuable.
The whitepaper gives a forward-looking definition and connotation of industrial Internet security, describes the architecture and application scenarios of industrial Internet security from the four aspects of security demand, security perspective, stakeholders and vertical industry applications, and creatively abstracts a five-dimensional security view architecture guiding the future construction of industrial Internet security, including security business, security function, security implementation, security technology and data security, and for the first time systematically describes the security architecture of industrial Internet. Data security, and for the first time systematically elaborated on how industrial artificial intelligence security can empower the construction of industrial Internet security as well as industrial 5G security requirements and technical realization routes.
Become a leader in AI security
Industrial Internet security is still in its infancy. Not only for the industrial Internet security startups have sprung up, many traditional security "head" vendors have also increased the layout of the industrial Internet security.
For example, Fortinet, Kaspersky, 360 and other head of the security vendors have specialized in industrial Internet security R & D team and product line. Not long ago, Microsoft acquired Israeli industrial network security startup CyberX for $165 million, and independent industrial Internet security providers are gradually attracting the attention of the capital market.
Although the current focus on the industrial Internet security of independent vendors and traditional security providers there is still a small gap, but this time to cut into the industrial Internet market at the right time.
"Globally, the real industrial Internet security has just started, the market size is not enough to support the birth of the leading vendors, the next 10 years will be able to see the leading vendors focusing on industrial Internet security," said Ren Enhanced.
Hexagon Cloud is currently one of the few domestic startups with a complete industrial Internet security technology heritage, Hexagon Cloud based on OT and IT fusion security technology, industrial control security virtual patching technology, industrial enterprises on the cloud security technology and artificial intelligence security four core technologies creatively put forward the "AI genes, threat immunity The company's security concept is "AI gene, threat immunity".
The massive amount of data rapidly generated and accumulated in the industrial Internet has become the natural soil for the application of artificial intelligence technology. The use of artificial intelligence to empower industrial Internet security can strongly enhance the active defense capability of the industrial Internet.
The special feature of Hexagon Cloud's AI security is that it adopts the AI security path of unsupervised learning to realize AI+ innate intelligence that mimics the mechanism of the human brain. "We want to be the global leader in AI security, and have now applied AI technology to a full range of products", said Zhimin Wang.
"Unlike face recognition, voice recognition, etc., which require the use of a large number of samples to do supervised learning, unsupervised learning is the key to the development of AI safety. Supervised learning to do AI safety does not work, this road we have already traveled, safety is ultimately a battle between people. And unsupervised learning does not have high requirements for the number of malicious samples and computation, but has high requirements for algorithms and modeling." Wang Zhimin said.
It is reported that in the Hexagon Cloud's "Superstring Lab", gathered the country's top research talent for security attack and defense, algorithmic research, and industrial Internet.
