Security big data, attracting technology giants to compete

The Gartner report predicts that the total investment in big data services will increase to 34 billion U.S. dollars by major companies in the world in 2013, an increase of 8 times year-on-year. In early 2013, IDC predicts that the market for big data technology and services will grow from 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2010. It climbed to 16.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2015 and achieved an annual growth rate of 40%, which will be 7 times the growth rate of the entire IT and communications industry. There is no doubt about the development trend of big data.

The more data is huge, the more business information is accumulated, the greater the value. Big data, characterized by mass, diversity, and rapidity, is not as easy to manage and analyze as data from traditional databases. It also brings higher requirements to the entire IT and communications industry. The strategic significance of the era of big data has gone beyond how to master huge data information. It is to realize the deep excavation of these data and then allow it to “value-add”.

The important factors driving the development of big data come from two aspects: First, the consumption field, such as the large amount of data generated by online shopping and social media applications; the other is the construction of urban infrastructure, security is one of them. The process of building a safe city is accompanied by the production of large amounts of data, especially Digital Security Surveillance (DSS), which is primarily characterized by video surveillance. There are countless high-definition cameras in the cities in which we live. These include security monitoring, command communications, detection and detection, law enforcement, and social services. Video access scales range from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands. With security monitoring, HD, smart, and The requirements for networking are getting higher and higher, and the scale of data generated each day is growing at an alarming rate.

Security big data, attracting technology giants to compete

From the province, the city video surveillance, traffic bayonet monitoring, to the operator's equipment room and base station environment monitoring, the original system data query is getting slower and slower, more and more data is written, more storage needs to be configured. The larger the company is, the higher the pressure on the performance of the relational database that was originally used, and the IO is stuck in the bottleneck. We have to admit that the era of big data in the security field has come. However, due to the characteristics of the security industry's own business and the limited R&D of domestic manufacturers, big data technology has not been applied as deeply as the IT and Internet industries in the security field. With the arrival of technology giants, this market landscape is undergoing dramatic changes.

In July 2012, Intel Corporation announced support for Hikvision to develop and promote big data processing solutions based on Xeon platforms and Intel Apache Hadoop distribution software to meet the requirements of safe cities and intelligent traffic for efficient processing of massive and unstructured data. Claim. This is the beginning of Intel's close collaboration with local Chinese partners, focusing on specific industry needs and building their optimized big data solutions. Since then, the concept of big data based on security has been officially launched at home for the first time.

Security-based big data also caught the attention of computer and service giant IBM. In October 2012, IBM released PureData, an expert integrated system specially designed for big data processing. It also reached a strategic cooperation with relevant Nanjing authorities to build a "smart Nanjing," integrated application of smart transportation, smart medical care, and intelligent data systems to improve Nanjing citizens. The standard of living.

The wave of providers of cloud computing solutions followed closely, and at the end of the year announced the launch of a public cloud data center for large-scale deployments, a "modular data center."

“Digital security monitoring is far from simple when installing several cameras. In addition to capturing data, we need to fully tap new knowledge and develop more applications based on this. Traditional security vendors and IT vendors are the future trend of cooperation. Security companies are The familiarity with the IT company's big data retrieval and analysis capabilities is a perfect complement.” said ToddMatsler, director of global digital security monitoring and marketing at Intel Corporation.

Security requirements are fully erupted and smart computing is crucial

As the government departments vigorously promote the construction of a “safe city” and a “harmonious society”, the demand for security products in all walks of life has erupted. The security applications in the traditional fields such as finance, transportation, and government have become more in-depth. New fields such as education, health, sports, and energy have developed at a rapid rate, and applications for communities and residents are also heating up. According to the goal mentioned in the "12th Five-Year Plan" of the security industry, by the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the scale of the security industry will have doubled, with an average annual growth rate of about 20%. In 2015, the total output value will reach 500 billion yuan. . From high-end markets such as the military, government, justice, finance, transportation, nuclear power plants, airports and ports, to mid-markets such as industrial facilities, education, medical care, residential areas, retail stores, warehouse management, logistics and other civilian markets, security needs Will fully explode.

Big data brings security to the future

At the same time, the development of the security industry in China has shown an important feature, namely the promotion of large-scale projects led by the government, such as the intelligent transportation system. Digital security monitoring with video surveillance as its main feature plays an irreplaceable role. It is constantly deployed and infiltrated in various facilities and industries across cities and cities. With the increasingly close connection between video surveillance, IT and telecommunication industry, digitalization, high-definition, networking and intelligence have become its development direction.

How to mine useful information from the data captured by front-end cameras and eventually serve smart cities and intelligent transportation? "We need to build a sophisticated and sophisticated system and consider connectivity, security and manageability." ToddMatsler said, "Intel built this system, using active management technology to achieve the interconnection between devices, and proposed The concept of distributed intelligent computing, the latter includes three important concepts, one is how to dig out the useful knowledge of various industries from data such as the sea of ​​smoke, the second is to ensure the flow of data between infrastructure and equipment and equipment, three It is to reduce data access barriers from different users or different systems."

Different from a single device solution, Intel provides a complete system solution for the security market, covering all aspects of data acquisition, storage, analysis and application, including software. These technologies based on Intel architecture are not only widely used in back-end computing systems and development systems, but also play a significant role in front-end and edge devices. They can help equipment developers significantly shorten the time to market, reduce development costs, and at the same time, they are powerful. The computing power and open platform based on Internet applications will also further promote the diversified development of the security industry.

It is reported that around the field of digital surveillance, Intel has collaborated with Pok Hong Intelligence, Hikvision, East Net Power, EVOC, and China Security to launch a variety of personalized intelligent digital monitoring solutions based on Intel architecture. At the same time, Intel also partnered with partners to provide services and support for major security projects such as the Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games.

Tian Guang, the vice president of Bocom, said that the digitization, high-definition, networking, and intelligent transformation of the security industry are also in line with the country's Internet of Things policy. High-definition and intelligence penetrate all aspects of the system and require powerful low-power processor support. In this regard, Intel offers a complete solution from the low end to the high end. Tian Guang also believes that the status quo of the digital security monitoring industry is the lack of standards but the need for greater development. This is a big challenge for enterprise product compatibility, future scalability, product performance, security, and stability. Software, upper platforms, etc. have strong planning and implementation capabilities.

Big data brings security to the future

Shen Jian, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of the Nanjing Political Consultative Conference, said on the topic of the public infrastructure needs of the government in the era of big data: In the era of big data, what the government must do is to pay high priority to the collection and generation of data; Do a good job of publicizing the data; Third, the integration of data; Fourth, establish our data culture; Fifth, data security. This means that in the smart city's infrastructure construction, Big Data will undertake more information mining and integration work.

When the data is fully networked and shared, effectively stored, and fully analyzed and excavated, the era of big data in the field of security will be truly deepened. At that time, the police can easily search all videos of a certain color or car of a certain brand at a certain time period and quickly identify violations. Without human interference, the video surveillance device automatically locates targets in the dynamic scene. Identifying and tracking, responding to abnormal situations and making automatic alarms; Thousands of elderly people and children who have lost their lives each year, developing the “People Lost Inquiry System”, and sharing these video resources online, will be more common people Service …...

What kind of future can Big Data bring to security? We will wait and see!
