Standardized reports make network security lines more secure
2023-12-12
Recently, the State Cyberspace Administration of China publicly solicited opinions on the "Draft Measures for the Management of Network Security Incident Reports", aiming to standardize the reporting of network security incidents, reduce losses and hazards caused by network security incidents, and maintain national network security. With the rapid development of the Internet, network security issues have always been closely related and increasingly prominent. In recent times, due to system failures and other reasons, multiple internet platforms have caused users to be unable to watch videos, take taxis, and place orders for shopping... From a practical perspective, once a network security incident occurs, it can affect the normal operation of business operators, and in severe cases, it can lead to the loss, tampering, and counterfeiting of important data. Important information systems in fields such as energy, finance, and government affairs may have serious impacts on national security and social stability in the event of a major cybersecurity incident. To solve this problem well, in addition to establishing a sound emergency work mechanism for operators themselves and enhancing their ability to prevent and handle cybersecurity incidents, it is also necessary to report to relevant departments in a timely manner, so that they can monitor and give early warning, and mobilize resources to support the handling when necessary, in order to minimize the impact of the incident as much as possible. Therefore, China's Cybersecurity Law clarifies the obligation of network operators to report network security incidents and stipulates corresponding legal responsibilities. However, after a cybersecurity incident occurs, it is necessary to establish a supporting system to clarify to what extent it should be reported, to which level of department it should be reported, and what reporting procedures should be followed. Due to the principle of relevant regulations, different parties have different understandings. This draft for soliciting opinions specifically stipulates the subjects, procedures, and time requirements for reporting network security incidents, and simultaneously releases guidelines for classifying network security incidents, providing a basis for operators to fulfill their reporting obligations in a standardized manner. As stipulated in the draft for soliciting opinions, if networks and systems are critical information infrastructure and a cybersecurity incident occurs, operators should report to the protection department and public security organs; For major or particularly significant cybersecurity incidents, the protection department shall report to the national cybersecurity department and the public security department of the State Council within 1 hour after receiving the report. This provides evidence and rules for reporting network security incidents. Without cybersecurity, there would be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and the interests of the general public would be difficult to safeguard. We look forward to the early introduction of management measures to make the reporting of network security incidents more standardized, timely and scientific, and thereby strengthen the defense line of network security.
