People should guard network security issues as led by new technology and science, Zhou said.

While new technology and science bring convenience and automation to humans, they also bring huge challenges and risks to network security.

Currently, the network faces some new challenges including digital development. Each intelligent node and smart device may become an entrance and springboard of attack in the IoT network, and traditional industries including manufacturing are transforming and upgrading through internet. Access between the virtual and physical space has also shown a risk in increased cyber attacks moving beyond the platform to physical injuries, said Zhou.
