Industry information security such as power is highly concerned
At the 24th China International Surveying Control and Instrumentation Exhibition in 2013, on August 29th, industry expert Yang Xiaoqiang shared his insights on the evolution of China's automation industry over the past four decades. He highlighted how, before the 1980s, automation technology progressed from relays to PLCs, PCS, motion control, and bus systems, which played a key role in driving the growth of the sector.
However, as automation technologies became more complex, especially after the 1990s, different brands of equipment began using proprietary communication standards, leading to what Yang described as a "technical disaster." This fragmentation made it difficult for systems to communicate effectively, creating challenges for integration and scalability.
Since 2010, the automation industry has seen significant changes. Modern manufacturers now offer integrated, platform-based, and open control solutions that allow devices to operate within a unified application environment. This advancement enables standardized communication across systems. Yet, with this openness comes new concerns—specifically, how to ensure the security of industrial information and communications.
Yang pointed out that most industrial control systems prior to 2000 were essentially "naked," meaning they lacked proper security measures. Today, with increasing cyber threats, the Chinese government has become highly attentive to industrial information security, particularly in critical sectors like power and petrochemicals. These industries are vital to the country’s economic stability, making them prime targets for potential cyberattacks.
In response, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology established the "Industrial Information Security Research Unit" to oversee and regulate industrial cybersecurity. Major companies such as Guodian Power and Sinopec are expected to drive substantial demand for secure communication systems and related infrastructure.
Several listed companies are already active in the industrial information security space, including VenusStar, Weishitong, Blue Dun, and Beixinyuan. As the need for secure automation grows, these firms are likely to play a key role in shaping the future of industrial cybersecurity in China.Solar Street Light,Led Solar Street Lights Solar Lamp,40W Solar Led Street Light,Ip65 Outdoor Solar Led Street Light
