Zero Trust: Continuous integration with cloud-native security

With the continuous acceleration of enterprises’ cloud migration process, traditional border-centric security protection systems have encountered bottlenecks, and concepts such as zero trust and cloud-native security have emerged, providing guidance for enterprises to build a new generation of security systems.

Currently, cloud native and cloud security are accelerating the integration trend. First, in the operation phase, zero trust is continuously native as a cloud security product. Zero trust is evolving from privatized deployment to SaaS services. SD-WAN integrates zero trust to achieve secure access to the service edge (SASE), and zero trust on the cloud is realized. The elastic expansion of security performance can respond to massive access requests. At the same time, micro-isolation, as a zero-trust key technology, controls access to east-west traffic in the cloud to make up for the shortcomings of traditional security protection mechanisms in the cloud environment. Second, cloud-native security emphasizes the focus on security from the research and development stage. More and more companies are beginning to design application systems based on the zero-trust principle. Cloud services or applications on the cloud will achieve native zero-trust, and security capabilities will be greatly improved.

7

Optimizing Governance: Accelerate the optimization of governance needs of enterprises on the cloud

He Baohong said that with the deepening of cloud use by enterprises, the focus of enterprises has gradually shifted from consulting and migration to cloud optimization, and a cloud optimization governance system has gradually formed.

The cloud optimization governance system can optimize the whole life cycle for enterprise cloud strategy formulation, route planning, adoption and implementation, and cloud optimization, so that enterprises can understand the cloud better, use the cloud better, and provide new impetus for the digital transformation of enterprises.

Digital Government: Digital Technology Enables Innovation in Government Governance

Improving the level of digital government construction is an important chapter of the "14th Five-Year Plan". As digital government ushered in the blue ocean market, companies have accelerated their deployment. It is the future trend of digital government to give full play to the enabling role of digital technologies such as cloud computing, promote the reengineering of government governance processes and model optimization, and continuously improve the scientific decision-making and service efficiency.

He Baohong emphasized that in the future, the level of digital government construction and operational maturity will become the focus of the industry.
