Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky is eyeing vast opportunities in China's industrial sector, driven by the country's strong manufacturing base and fast-evolving digital economy, said its top executive.

"China is a global manufacturing hub. The opportunity here is immense with countless Chinese companies developing various internet of things (IoT) devices, creating a huge demand for industrial cybersecurity," said Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky, which operates in about 200 countries and regions.

"Kaspersky has shown strong performance in our 'to personal consumers' segment in the Chinese market and we are ramping up efforts developing new products for businesses, especially in the industrial sector in the country, to capitalize on the vast opportunities presented by the country's digital transformation," he said.

Examples include Kaspersky Next, launched in June in Beijing, a new cybersecurity product that helps businesses defend against multiple threats, and Kaspersky Thin Client version 2.0, codeveloped with Centerm, a Chinese smart terminal provider. The latter, launched in April, is designed to protect organizations with extensive branch networks and geographically distributed operations. Thin Client is a compact endpoint providing users access to a remote desktop, substituting for a local workstation.

"China has numerous innovative companies actively seeking new opportunities in cyber immunity, and we are looking for more partners. The collaboration with Centerm is just the first step, and we expect to partner with more companies in the future," Kaspersky said.

China's IoT data economy market is expected to maintain a growth rate of 20 percent in the coming years. IoT technology is increasingly being applied in fields such as industry, agriculture, healthcare, education and smart appliances, bringing intelligent upgrades to various sectors, said Ni Jianzhong, executive chairman of the China Mobile Communications Association.

Emerging new technologies are also buoying demand for updated cybersecurity products and services. A recent report by CCID Consulting said the Chinese cybersecurity sector grew 8.5 percent year-on-year to 99.83 billion yuan in 2023 and may reach 135.86 billion yuan in 2026.



Yin Hao, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at a recent forum that the deep integration of 5G networks with various industries has spurred new businesses, technologies and scenarios, which in turn brings new cybersecurity challenges and opportunities. Yin emphasized the need to enhance the security of key technologies involved in 5G-industry integration, identify varying cybersecurity needs across industries, and develop customized cybersecurity products and services.

Chinese research team creates tiny, wireless brain sensor

Image
  Chinese researchers have developed a sesame seed-sized, biodegradable and wireless brain sensor that could potentially transform the way brain conditions are monitored in patients with head injuries or tumors. The conventional method used to measure intracranial pressure, temperature and other brain health barometers is inserting a wired sensor into the brain. Implantation and removal of the device require surgery, and openings left in the skin during monitoring increase the risk of infection. To address these problems, researchers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Hubei province, along with those from Tong Ji Hospital in the city and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, created a cubeshaped wireless sensor measuring 2 millimeters on each side. The tiny tube can be injected under the skull through a needle and operated through an external ultrasound probe, eliminating the need for invasive operations and preventing infections. Because the implant is

On Monday morning, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the first time delivered four college admission letters issued by the South China University of Technology to the hands of four students in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. The drone trip took about 30 minutes, covering 25 km, forming a new scenario for China's UAV application. "I was amazed to see my admission letter sent by a drone. It was like a movie scene coming to real life," said Wang. Guangzhou Post, the drone operator, has been delivering college admission letters for over 40 years, handling about 550,000 letters annually. "In the future, more students can experience technological advancement with their

SHENZHEN - In an automotive factory, silver humanoid robots stride along assembly lines, conducting tasks once performed exclusively by humans -- from car scanning to seatbelt inspection and affixing labels onto vehicles. This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a collaboration between UBTECH, a Shenzhen-based robotics firm, and Chinese electric carmaker NIO, highlighting the rapid advancement in China's humanoid robot industry. As competition intensifies among manufacturers, humanoid robots are increasingly being integrated into various sectors, with industrial applications leading the charge. Earlier this month, UBTECH announced it would work with FAW-Volkswagen, one of China's earliest joint venture automakers, to develop an unmanned car factory. This initiative aims to deploy UBTECH's industrial humanoid robot, Walker S, at FAW-Volkswagen's plant in East
