Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee, shook the Prism program of the U.S. government in June this year. Through this plan, the US government secretly collect and analyze people's calls, photos, electronic and many other personal data of mail, documents and so on. The scope of the monitoring includes not only U.S. citizens who are in contact with outside the country, but also users in Europe and Asia.

Some people in the industry think that from the "prism" plan, the reason why the U.S. intelligence departments conveniently access data lies essentially in the worldwide use of software and equipment such as servers, databases and routers produced by U.S. companies.

Under the circumstances, how to ensure information security has become a problem that enterprises and governments must consider.

Localization resurgence

"A viable solution is to use domestic software and equipment." A domestic software executive told Sina Technology that proprietary software and servers, as well as databases and other products developed by domestic companies, can be controlled autonomously to ensure information security .

This scheme mainly refers to increasing the proportion of domestic software and equipment used in finance, state-owned enterprises, government and other fields, which is simply "localization". This is not a new topic. Many domestic experts and enterprises have actually been calling on the government to issue relevant policies to support domestic enterprises.

Chinese Academy of Engineering Ni Guangnan has been called on the government to strengthen information security. He recently said in an interview with the media, "Lenovo's core technology of the computer, including the CPU and operating system are all the United States, even if so, the United States government is not assured. By contrast, China's core information and hardware technology Almost all foreign, but how can sleep on it instead?

He pointed out with considerable concern: "Nowadays, government departments in some parts of our country purchase a large amount of foreign software when the domestic software is basically available, which shows that they are lacking in security awareness and lack of a legal concept. Lack of awareness of potential safety problems. "

UF chairman Wang Wenjing software has also been called for "localization." He pointed out on many occasions in the proposals of the NPC and CPPCC that according to the political and economic security of the country, the construction and service of information systems in government departments and state-owned enterprises should use domestic software more.

According to insiders, after the prism plan was exposed, some state-owned enterprises and government agencies have started to replace foreign products in infrastructure involving some core information services.

Product substitutability becomes a hurdle

Exposure of the "Prism" program has put the issue of information security on the table, giving domestic manufacturers a "heaven-sent" opportunity for development, but the backwardness of their products may, to a certain extent, hinder their replacement roles.

A domestic database vendor executives told Sina Technology, "Prism" exposure for the domestic manufacturers is a good opportunity for both government and enterprises have noticed the importance of information security, but the domestic manufacturers can take advantage of the market Some gains will face great challenges.

This challenge is actually directed at the domestic manufacturers in the field of basic information has been the pain point: the product is still backward, it is still difficult to completely replace the foreign manufacturers of software or equipment. The executives admitted that at least domestic database software compared with foreign manufacturers there is a big gap.

An executive at an anonymous domestic management software company told Sina Technology that although domestic management software has been able to meet the 90% of the needs of most businesses, many businesses still tend to be biased in favor of foreign vendors. This led to the domestic manufacturers to gain market opportunities more difficult, it is difficult to get the favor of large enterprises. "Products are uncompetitive and difficult to make a difference in the marketplace, so a vicious cycle has taken shape."

However, for the domestic software, a good change is that many businesses have begun to change their attitude: from the previous exclusion, and now gradually accepted. "Many companies are now starting to give China-made software some chances that if they can pass their tests, they will usually choose to use domestic software, but the cycle of the test will generally be longer," said a database vendor executive.

Although optimistic about the "Prism" program exposure for the promotion of localization, but the database software industry executives said they did not want to "prism" plan to become a one-time domestic manufacturers "event marketing."

The executives believe that "event marketing" can only promote short-term sales of domestic software and equipment, the government and enterprises should really aware of the importance of information security. "Why does the U.S. government insist on not using Huawei equipment? Our government must actually consider the underlying factors."

Cao Kaibin, chief editor of China Software Network and president of Hai Bi Research, said that the exposure of the prism program has an important security warning role in the construction of domestic informatization. In the face of national security, the choice of foreign products in enterprise informatization should become more cautious. (Author: Luo Liang)
