02 "Digital Intelligence Transformation + Endogenous Security", Decoding New Pathways for Operators' Security Evolution
The Operator Security Forum, a specialized forum in the telecommunications sector, was co-hosted by AsiaInfo Technologies and AsiaInfo Security, focusing on three key directions - "AI security implementation, business risk prevention, and collaborative security symbiosis". Experts in attendance exchanged the latest technological achievements and innovative models, and discussed how to construct a resilient security system that enables the evolution of business development and security protection from "coexistence" to "endogeneity" and ultimately to "symbiosis", with a focus on core scenarios such as operator support systems, data assets, supply chains, and critical infrastructure. Wen Ku, Chairman of the China Communications Standards Association, and Zhang Ruiying, Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Communications Administration, attended the forum and delivered speeches.

Huang Liusheng, Assistant General Manager of the Mobile Support Business Division at AsiaInfo Technologies, delivered a keynote speech titled From Information Security to Business Security and Endogenous Security in Application. He highlighted that operators face evolving threats in information security, with business vulnerabilities and malicious activities such as "fraudulent exploitation" by gray/black industries undermining corporate business development. Enhancement of the business security and application-specific endogenous security not only requires continuous technological innovation at the enterprise level but also necessitates ongoing reforms in organizational structures, management processes, and security cultures. Only by establishing a deeply integrated security protection mechanism and processes that span multiple departments, including business, IT, and security, can security truly be transformed into a core driving force for business innovation, achieving a win-win situation for development and security in the digital era.

Additionally, Dr. Zhu Jun, Chief Scientist of AsiaInfo Technologies, was invited to attend the Data Elements Seminar at the conference. He engaged in discussions with Xiao Wenming, Director of the National Meteorological Information Center, Huan Maosheng, Division Chief of the State Information Center, Liu Zhengping, Vice President of AsiaInfo Security, and others on the innovation of data technologies, and the exploration, application, and practice of data elements. Dr. Zhu Jun noted that data, as the "fifth production factor", is the foundation for the digitalization and intelligence of the economy and society. AsiaInfo Technologies has already established a comprehensive "product + service" system covering data cleansing, governance, storage, mining, and operation, and has created numerous benchmark cases across industries such as telecommunications, government affairs, energy, transportation, and finance. AsiaInfo Technologies will collaborate with AsiaInfo Security and partners from various sectors to jointly build a data security system, promote the "integration of digital and physical economies", and contribute to the construction of a "Digital China".
