Why It Matters
The 2026 Global Digital Economy Conference Digital Security Forum and the 8th Beijing Network Security Conference (BCS2026) opened in Beijing on June 2nd. Discussions focused on the impact of AI on cybersecurity.
中新网北京6月3日电 (记者 尹倩芸)2026全球数字经济大会数字安全论坛暨第八届北京网络安全大会(BCS2026)开幕峰会2日在北京举行。奇安信集团董事长齐向东在会上称，AI革命对网安产业是利好，最大受益者是创新的头部安全厂商。
年初以来，大模型漏挖能力不断被披露，引发网安行业波动。在齐向东看来，这些波动和变化，真切反映了多数人对AI的期待、无措和焦虑，也给网络安全提出新命题、创造了新机会。
“过去，网络安全是人与人的对抗，比技术、比经验。AI大模型、智能体的出现，尤其是Mythos的出现，让网络攻击进入工业化时代，攻防进一步失衡。”他说。
齐向东认为，AI时代三类安全需求将集中爆发。一是AI漏洞+AI攻击引爆实战需求。政企机构亟需加大安全投入，全面转向主动防御、纵深防御、动态防御，提高实战能力。
二是智能体引爆数据安全需求。IDC报告显示，到2027年，45%的企业将采用基于AI的风险合规解决方案，防范内部或关联第三方的违规行为，中国数据安全市场投资规模预计达到约205亿人民币。
三是AI应用引爆全栈安全需求。AI自身安全、场景安全、应用安全、大模型安全、具身智能安全等，是具有爆发力的黄金增长点。
齐向东称，网络安全是AI时代的基础性产业，产业规模会伴随数智化规模水涨船高，网络安全面前摆着的是千亿级增量空间。(完)
