The IT industry aggressively enters the security market and traditional security challenges again

Nowadays, IT companies have a large army to enter the security market. As early as 2005, Digital China took the lead in entering the security market. IBM, Huawei, Samsung, and Tsinghua Tongfang entered the security market one after another.

On the one hand, with the development of science and technology, security has long been an industry that does not merely provide access control, alarm, intercom, and other products. Traditional security is far from meeting the needs of society. Advanced chip technology, video compression algorithms and other technologies have gone far beyond the traditional security technology field, pushing the security industry to network, bio-intelligent, and other directions.

The new security technology provides a wider range of choices for all walks of life and individual users; security systems that were installed earlier need to be upgraded and networked; and security engineering markets such as the Ping An City, the Olympic Games, the World Expo, and the Asian Games are also under construction. Showing a strong demand situation. With the gradual opening of the civilian security market, the upgrading of new security projects and existing systems has become the focus of security companies.

According to relevant statistical data, the growth rate of the security industry in 2009 reached 18%, and the total output value was nearly 190 billion yuan. Among them, security equipment reached 83.5 billion yuan, security project output value reached 96 billion yuan, and the market scale of security service and maintenance reached 9.5 billion yuan. In 2010, the total output value of China's security industry exceeded 210 billion yuan. The scale of the security market in 2010 reached 210 billion yuan. Such a hugely attractive “cake” has officially attracted these IT companies into the security market.

This kind of news made many IT companies happy. An engineer from Hangzhou Huasan Communication Technology Co., Ltd. said that after entering the information age, the network and security are integrated more and more closely. Digitalization and networking have become the main theme of the development of the security industry, especially in the field of video surveillance, late-stage services, software, Content management, storage, and servers put high demands on integrated companies. Many traditional security integrators are limited by network technology, and it is difficult to obtain greater development in the field of network monitoring. There is a gap in the installation and maintenance of network security projects, which has foreshadowed the entry of IT companies into the security market.
