The security boundary has become blurred and "de-security" is becoming a trend

The cross of "don't touch applications above, don't touch data below" is enough to let many small and medium-sized security manufacturers who had been living in frustration before breathe a sigh of relief, and finally find a big tree that can give full play to their strengths while avoiding wind and rain.

From the perspective of Huawei and other manufacturers, their advantages lie in their strong technical accumulation, strong top-level design capabilities, and a certain customer relationship foundation; their challenges mainly come from their insufficient understanding of the industry and lack of product coverage.

Of course, how the security business of Huawei, Alibaba and other companies will develop in the future will depend on how much effort they put in.

After all, security is life for Hikvision and Dahua, but for Huawei and Alibaba, it is just a choice.

The transformation has just begun

Some people say, "Security has not changed, it just continues to grow in a different way, and it is growing wildly."

In the past, the efficiency of monitoring operations was likened to bicycles, but now it is high-speed rail; in the past, your opponents were traditional security players, but now there are Internet communication companies such as Huawei, Alibaba, SenseTime, and Megvii; in the past, hardware was king, but now it is the software era; in the past, it was To G/B/C, but in the future there will only be To S (society).

All of this is due to the changes brought about by new technologies such as AI. Before the arrival of AI, the security industry served more governments and police departments. After the arrival of AI, the functions and market of video surveillance were magnified hundreds of times, bringing new desires, new demands, and new directions.

The iteration of technology always drives us to pursue "new", but "new" is always fleeting and will be replaced by newer things in the never-ending changes.

For security, the new "revolution" has just begun, and everything is still the prologue.
