— (Case studies) A China-based global supplier of aluminum wheels and chassis and a conglomerate in China are already using this service to fortify their security and defense platform. It is helping them meet current industry standards and fully complying with “National Cybersecurity Exercises”.

AI-Powered Cybersecurity Framework
In the evolution of a cybersecurity service framework, intelligence and automation are no longer choices but crucial values for customers in an all-around way. CITIC Telecom CPC’s AI-driven solutions and automation accelerate threat identification, enrichment, hunting, containment, and remediation. Combining this “Tech” capability and proactive “Operational” approach reduces opportunities for threat actors to infiltrate while enabling enterprises to respond rapidly. The future-ready and intelligent framework has four service pillars:

1. Identify and Predict 
A suite of comprehensive assessment and identification services covering systems, applications, network infrastructure, and critical assets services improve threat identification and prediction. Harnessing the power of algorithm and AI, together with other enhanced capabilities, the AI Penetration Test efficiently identifies and mitigates security risks at an early application development stage while assessing security resilience against various attack scenarios.

2. Protect
SASE for dynamic network security, UTM, NGFW, WAF, and IPS for network and application access control, and cloud email security offer comprehensive protection to enterprises. A dedicated team of security professionals manages everything from incident consultation, solutions design and implementation to configuration and ongoing device management. This comprehensive approach ensures the continuous improvement of the customers’ security infrastructure.

3. Detect 
Round-the-clock managed security, reinforced by certified SOC and dual SIEM platforms, EDR solutions, and AI-enabled User and Entity Behavior Analysis, helps enterprises swiftly identify and respond to cybersecurity events.

4. Respond & Recover
Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), Security Incident Response (IR), and Threat Hunting services minimize resolution time and human error, with cloud-based Backup and Disaster Recovery services driving rapid recovery and robust business continuity.

Driving Cybersecurity Capabilities with Enhanced Dual SIEM Operations
Security matters to all data, not just some. So, CITIC Telecom CPC’s self-developed world-class SOCs utilize advanced technologies with Dual SIEM to revolutionize threat intelligence management by accelerating AI-driven detection and feedback to emerging threats. They provide enterprises with critical assessment for threat monitoring or immediate protection.

The Dual SIEM operations encompass a wide array of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) capabilities. They aggregate and cross-correlate threat intelligence data to identify and illuminate potential threats, increase the speed of searches, boost security visibility, and improve cost management.

Future-proofing Cybersecurity and Compliance with SOC-as-a-Service at its Core
The latest SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS) model helps enterprises enjoy cost-effective, SOC-managed security capabilities from different SOCaaS service offerings. Using the latest security technologies, a team of dedicated experts will monitor, detect, and respond to threats 24/7, all without the expensive cost of building and staffing your own SOC.

CITIC Telecom CPC’s “SOCaaS” approach delivers unparalleled security analytics and monitoring capabilities via self-deployed and managed 24×7 SOCs in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. These fully managed SOCs use a “global-local” approach with certified professional expertise for customized security solutions worldwide to safeguard their operations, providing customers with peace of mind.

With years of AI technology development, the data science and innovation team of CITIC Telecom CPC integrated AI and data in this Contest and used multivariate feature extraction strategy to extract nearly 22G data for detailed analysis and processing. The team used proprietary algorithm technology to perform computing on its own cloud platform SmartCLOUD(TM), and built a machine learning model based on hydrogen fuel cell mechanism. The team won in both preliminary and semi-finals, and got the Championship of “Hydrogen Fuel Cell System Average Performance Forecast” Award in the final contest after a thorough explanation and problem solving session with the judging panel. CITIC Telecom CPC will continue to enhance the digitalization of industrial scenarios and develop more AI and business-oriented solutions.

Embracing Innovation – Connecting the Future
With the advent of ChatGPT, AI industry has entered into a new development stage. Large-scale AI models are a disruptive technology that is gaining increasing attention from both the market and enterprises. CITIC Telecom CPC has noticed more enterprises in the industry are increasingly deploying AI technology and industry-specific large models, and even enterprise-specific large models. Leveraging its “Cloud, Network, Intelligence, Security” integrated platform, CITIC Telecom CPC actively “builds large models exclusively for enterprises”, and accelerates model construction and iteration through “small model” scenarios and intelligent applications to assist enterprises in faster implementation. Large-scale models have begun to explode in businesses, and AI has been deployed in thousands of industries with the growth of computing power. Data growth and model complexity are twin issues of AI technology, and data security has become a vital issue. Enterprises must put in place a good security strategy to achieve a balance between innovation and security.
