Globalization of cybersecurity
Qi-Anxin Technology Group, a leading company in the field of cybersecurity, received a distinguished contribution award at the conference.
The company has expanded its global presence, striking a major 300 million yuan ($42.2 million) deal in 2023, the largest overseas cybersecurity deal for a Chinese company.
Qi Xiangdong, its chairman, highlighted the growing security risks associated with the growing connectivity of vehicles, roads and cloud infrastructure in the autonomous driving sector.
He stressed the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect critical systems and data.
In 2030, the automobile safety market revenue will reach 2 trillion yuan.

AI-powered security solutions
Shanghai-based Hehe won a competition at WIC for using AI technology to combat online fraud and deep fakes in the financial sector.
The company’s technology leverages AI to detect and mitigate sophisticated cyberattacks, ensuring the security of sensitive financial information and user identities.
While bringing convenience to people’s lives, AI has also created unprecedented security challenges. For some time now, it has become a battle of “attack and defense,” Hehe said.
Kaspersky, a global leader in cybersecurity, has regularly participated in WIC since 2014. The company collaborates with Chinese partners to develop advanced security solutions tailored to the specific needs of the Chinese market, said Alvin Cheng, general manager of Kaspersky China.
One of his notable achievements was the detection of a critical security vulnerability in Apple’s iPhone with flaws in iMessage. This could have allowed attackers to take full control of iPhones and user data.

Chip-Level Security: A Foundation for the Future
Chip-level security has become a crucial part of cybersecurity, with the rapid growth of the digital economy and the rise of artificial intelligence, Hygon Information Technology said. The chip company also won a WIC award in Wuzhen.
Hygon has developed CPU infrastructure, working with software partners to provide solutions to industries such as government, healthcare, finance, transportation and energy.
Hygon’s C86 chip architecture integrates a multi-dimensional security framework, leveraging cryptography, trusted computing, confidential computing and other security technologies. This approach ensures strong security without compromising performance, said Hygon, a company listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market with a market value of 298.7 billion yuan.
“Chip-level security is a critical line of defense,” said Ying Zhiwei, vice president of Hygon. “Unlike software vulnerabilities, chip-level risks can be more devastating. We believe the chip is the foundation of secure computing.”
