Prism door raises hot discussion: how to get out of 3D CAD information security misunderstanding

After the US "Prism" plan was exposed, it sounded the alarm for China's information security, revealing the huge hidden dangers of China's government and enterprise information security. However, there have been a number of misunderstandings in the use of CAD/CAM industrial design software by domestic enterprises. Experts and scholars in this industry have made various suggestions on how to correctly get out of these misunderstandings.

Misunderstanding 1: Foreign monks will chanting? Domestic software can not only use more strategic security!

According to media reports, Snowden’s broke the news that Cisco, IBM, Google, Qualcomm, Intel, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft and other companies involved in the “Prism Gate” spy program are well-known global IT brands, and their software and hardware occupy customs. Key areas such as postal, financial, railway, civil aviation, medical, military and police. Although these companies have quickly cleared up their relationship, the media pointed out that domestic governments and enterprises are over-reliant on foreign brands! At present, China's manufacturing enterprises, especially the three-dimensional design systems that control the core information of military and civilian enterprises, mostly use foreign 3D CAD software , because these foreign brands enter the Chinese market earlier, because of the less choice, let enterprise users More dependent on these foreign brands.

Is the foreign monk chanting? That may not be! According to the survey of China Mobile, the domestic 2D and 3D CAD industrial software has been able to meet the actual needs of the machinery industry in terms of functions and services.

In the past, the industry also reported that a well-known foreign three-dimensional CAD software had the problem of “backdoor leakage of personal computer information”, which threatened the national military safety information. According to industry insiders, the relevant state departments have notified all military enterprises to stop using the software to prevent data from being stolen and lead to leaks. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has developed a catalogue of recommended software brands for military enterprises, and recommended excellent domestic 3D CAD software brands for Chinese military enterprises.

Song Xiaogang, vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, said that software copyright is an inseparable part of the integration of the two industries. At the same time, the frequent leaking door events of foreign three-dimensional industrial software have sounded the alarm for the domestic industrial field. Therefore, the application of domestic 3D CAD industrial software is more strategic.

Myth 2: Pirated software can also create corporate value? Genuine software is free of troubles!

In the production process, some enterprises often use pirated, cracked version two, three-dimensional CAD/CAM software to save costs, and pirated software not only seriously affects the stability of IT systems, but also greatly affects its security: some pirated software Pre-installed viruses, once installed, will steal internal resources and information, which poses a great security risk. At the same time, the use of pirated software enterprises can not only create value because of the inability to obtain supplier services, but also make enterprise users unable to obtain upgrade guarantees and technical support services, thus affecting the stability of the entire system.

Chen Wei, director of the Software Services Division of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the core value of software is to meet the needs of users through the functions it provides. Genuine software can meet the functional needs of users well. Information security can bring protection to enterprises. Relevant ministries also pointed out that, under the domestic software and user acceptance levels greatly improve the conditions of domestic software procurement priority, promote the further development of domestic software services industry.

To ensure China's information security must have its own industrial software

Compared with developed European and American countries, there is still a certain gap in China's CAD software . However, in recent years, domestic software has developed rapidly, and provides cost-effective two-dimensional CAD/CAM solutions for the practical application of domestic enterprises. Taking 3D CAD software as an example, many enterprises do not need very complicated 3D CAD design systems. software technology can meet the needs of enterprise customers can purchase a three-dimensional CAD software according to the actual needs of the work, avoid spending too much cost to buy high-end three-dimensional CAD software but do not have access.

According to Zhong Ying, general manager of Zhongwang 3D Business Department, in the field of CAD/CAM software , Zhongwang Software has not only become the first software company in China to lead domestic CAD out of overseas, but also sells in more than 80 countries and regions around the world. On the basis of the two-dimensional CAD solution with completely independent cores, Zhongwang CAD+, in order to help enterprises to find problems more intuitively in the design stage, in 2010, the company acquired the US 3D software VX and launched the software of design and manufacturing integration. 3D has become the only second and third-dimensional CAD/CAM software vendor with independent intellectual property rights in the world. The word Ying Kun also said that Zhongwang 3D is the preferred brand of 3D CAD/CAM software for military enterprises recommended by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, providing enterprises with cost-effective 3D CAD/CAM genuine solutions, and now more and more leading enterprises in manufacturing. Even the world's top 500 companies are fully affirmed.

In fact, as early as before the "Prism Gate" incident, relevant experts and scholars called for the state-level authoritative information security department to be established as soon as possible. Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that in recent years, the lessons of Huawei and ZTE entering the US market have revealed that we should learn from developed countries in the protection of information security and establish and implement a security review mechanism for important information system products and services as soon as possible.

To ensure China's information security and realize the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, relying on foreign second and third-dimensional CAD industrial software is not a long-term solution. China needs to have its own second and third-dimensional CAD industrial software , and only adopt information security that is more suitable for Chinese users. Products with independent intellectual property rights can truly protect China's national information security system.
