Chapter 174: Breaking Out of the Encirclement

Hillar was stumped by this question, and the reporter who asked it was obviously experienced and experienced, and the beauty of this question was that it would be better if you didn't answer, and the more you answered, the more troublesome it would be.

If you don't answer, it's just to make everyone think that you have a weak heart, but if you just open your mouth, the problem comes, you say that the security standards of the secondary website are lower than the presidential website, then you can't explain why the presidential website is paralyzed, but this secondary website is still alive; if you say that the security standard of the secondary website is higher than that of the presidential website, then only the ghost will believe it, and if the ghost believes it, then it is also the IQ problem of the people who believe that Estonia is engaged in security. As for the latter question, you can't touch it at all, as long as you open your mouth, you can't get it out.

But you can't answer it, because you brought these journalists here, and the other party's question is very clever, and it doesn't sound like it's political, and it doesn't involve any secrets, and it makes it clear that it's just a question about security, and as the head of cyber security in Estonia, how can you not answer.

Hillar thought for a moment and said, "As the spokesman said just now, this is a premeditated cyber attack, and the other party's purpose is to paralyze all our networks and cause trouble for Estonia. As for why all the ZF networks are down, but only one secondary website has not failed, this is not to say that the security standards of this website are higher than other websites, but because before the hackers launched the attack, we purchased a batch of new security products, which happened to be equipped for this website to do preliminary testing and running-in work. This cyber attack is a testament to the excellent performance of the new equipment we have procured, and we will be purchasing this product in large quantities and assembling it into all critical networks in the coming period to strengthen the resilience of the Estonian network and prevent similar incidents from happening again. ”

Hillar's words are also said to be leaky, he did not dwell on the second question, but completely explained the first question to him, as long as the first question is explained clearly, then the second question does not need to be explained, and the second question cannot be explained at all.

This explanation made all the media skeptical, because after all, they are all journalists, and they can't pick out anyone who really understands security, and whether there is a security product that can withstand such a strong flood attack, no one knows, so no one questioned it for a while.

"Then which company made the equipment purchased by ZF this time, and whether the procurement process has been strictly approved, and how much can this batch of security equipment play in improving the quality of Estonian cybersecurity?" asked one of the largest media outlets in Estonia, and it seems that he wants to exercise his right to supervise ZF's spending.

However, his question was asked to the hearts of all reporters, everyone does not understand safety, but everyone wants to know whether there is really such a product, you can answer it, if you can't answer, then it proves that your previous explanation is just nonsense.

Hillar coughed twice, "This procurement is completely in accordance with the ZF approval process, the equipment is first confirmed by our computer response after a detailed safety test, and then the number to be purchased is submitted to the ZF procurement department, and the procurement department is submitted to the Congress for approval." All the equipment procurement cases of Estonian ZF have always been public, this time we have to purchase a total of 1,800 sets of hardware protection wall programs from China Soft Alliance Technology Company, as well as 1,800 sets of software anti-intrusion and anti-espionage programs, and after the approval of the Congress, you can see the relevant ZF financial expenditure report. ”

Now everyone has nothing to say, Hillar has made it clear enough, if you still don't believe it, then just go and check the old bottom of the China Soft Alliance Technology Company to see if their products are so powerful and can withstand such a powerful torrent of data.

"I'll just say, it's definitely not that simple for Liu Xiao to go to Estonia!" Fang Guokun was sitting in the conference room at this time, and the big screen in the conference room was broadcasting live on the scene of the Estonian press conference.

Xiao Wu also stood up, "Head, you mean, Liu Xiao knew that there was going to be a hacker attack there, so he ran to promote their products?"

"That's definitely the case!" Fang Guokun sighed, "Since dealing with Liu Xiao, when have you ever seen him make meaningless moves? Any of his actions are targeted, the last time more than 500 companies jointly sued the Soft Alliance, in the end, not only did not hurt the Soft Alliance, but made Liu Xiao play a time difference beautifully, so that the Soft Alliance and his strategic level are known to the world. Liu Xiao is a guy who can only take a step when he sees the road. ”

"But how would he know where the hacker attack would happen?" Xiao Wu frowned, "Also, even if you know in advance, you have to be able to ensure that you make this product, and you have to ensure that the product can withstand a powerful data flood, otherwise, it will be in vain to go." Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

"Yes, it takes time to develop a product, and even if you know in advance that there will be a hacker attack, how can you guarantee that you can make a corresponding product within this time? Also, even if it is made, you have to ensure that Estonia ZF is willing to try your product!" Fang Guokun frowned, and said to himself: "It seems that he has been preparing for a long time, he should have known that there was going to be a hacker attack a long time ago, and he also judged how powerful the hacker attack was, otherwise he would not have gone to Estonia, this guy, as soon as he made a move, he must succeed." ”

"How is this possible?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, "We have such a large intelligence network, and we can't predict hacker attacks, how can he know?"

"Each has its own way!" Fang Guokun sighed, "We just trust our own intelligence network too much, which causes us to be unable to keep up step by step, we need to learn other people's methods." ”

"Even if there is a way, but the hacker attack is a sudden attack launched in secret, there will be no warning in advance, and there are no predictable conditions!" Xiao Wu still didn't believe that Liu Xiao could have known in advance that there would be a hacker attack in Estonia.

"Yes!" Fang Guokun pinched his chin, "I also wonder, how did he predict it?"

"So what should we do?" asked Xiao Wu.

"Let's talk about it when Liu Xiao comes back!" Fang Guokun had to give up his guess, he couldn't guess how Liu Xiao predicted it, "This time the cyber war between Estonia and Russia has developed to this point, it seems that it will not be over, but in fact, it is not, you sort out all the information, I have to make a report to my superiors!"

"Yes!" Xiao Wu Lizheng, and then asked: "You also believe the reporter's speculation and think that this is a show?"

"It's impossible to put on a show!" Fang Guokun waved his hand, "After Estonia joined NATO, it has been at odds with Russia, and this time it is necessary to relocate the monument to the Soviet army, and it is impossible for Russia to join forces with him to act." However, the reporter's speculation is not unreasonable, in recent years, several countries in Europe and the United States with a high degree of informatization have been seeking to legislate in dealing with hacker attacks, and if there is a law to follow, the probability of hacker attacks can be minimized. I have to report this to the above, we have to take this opportunity, we also have to follow the footsteps of Europe and the United States, if everyone else has legislated, we don't stand, then we will be the next Estonia. ”

At this time, Liu Xiao was excitedly circling the room, now it's okay, how many media satellite cars have broadcast the name of the soft alliance to all corners of the world in an instant, those European and American security agencies, he is no matter how capable, no matter how strong the media public relations ability is, it is too late at this time, the media will definitely have relevant reports in the future, and even the skeptical media will come to explore the old bottom of the soft alliance, when everyone in the world notices the soft alliance, Liu Xiao wants to see how many pairs of European and American institutions can cover.

Will was also very happy, "Great, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, we have made multiple plans in advance, even if Hillar doesn't say it, the media will guide them to mention the name of the soft alliance!"

"It seems that I can return to China!" Liu Xiao smiled, "This trip to Estonia is all due to Mr. Will's careful arrangement and operation, so it will be so smooth, thank you!"

"Mr. Liu is polite!" Will smiled and shook his head, "This is all what Mr. Qian ordered me to do, and he has already arranged the rest, and then there will be a number of media to confront whether the products of the soft alliance are so high-performance, but the one who wins in the end must be the soft alliance!"

Liu Xiao smiled: "Of course, because our products are indeed resistant to hacker attacks!" To be honest, Liu Xiao didn't have much hope that the product would be able to resist the flood attack, because he had already judged that the scale of the hacker attack would be very large, before coming to Estonia, he and Qian Wanneng formulated a number of backup plans, but he didn't expect the product's performance to be beyond his expectations, and even more unexpectedly, Estonia ZF turned on after closing the network, making an already big incident a global uproar. Although this was all unexpected by Liu Xiao, things unexpectedly developed in a direction that was more favorable to the Soft Alliance, and those words popped up in Liu Xiao's head: Time to run!

Some people are happy, some people are worried, and the most worrying thing at this time is those European and American security agencies, who have joined hands to engage in the soft alliance for so long, and seeing that the soft alliance is honest, they no longer have any hope of impacting the European and American markets, but let Estonia mess up at once, so that these security agencies don't know who to hate. Their biggest headache now is not when the soft alliance will hit the European and American markets, it will be sooner or later, they are worried about how much territory they can hold, most of the previous European and American ZF purchases are security products designed by these institutions, and now the products of the soft alliance have become famous, I am afraid that their side will soon encounter a refund.

Liu Xiao stayed in Tallinn for an extra day, and waited for the news from China that he had received an order from Estonia ZF, so Liu Xiao asked Will to help him book a ticket back to China, and contacted Hillar to prepare to resign.

As soon as the domestic network was closed, Hillar rarely had a leisure, and when he heard that Liu Xiao was leaving, he came over to see Liu Xiao off and personally sent Liu Xiao to the international airport in Tallinn.

"Mr. Hillar, I am very honored to be able to meet you on this trip to Tallinn, you have given me a lot of insight!" Liu Xiao looked at Hillar with a smile, "I will come to ask you again if I have the opportunity in the future!"

"There will be a chance!" Hillar smiled and looked at the plane in the sky that was about to land, "I have considered the proposal you said, and I have decided that it is very good, I believe that with your technology and our experience, we will definitely be able to create many fruitful methods, and I am willing to strengthen cooperation with you in this regard!"

"Thank you so much!" Liu Xiao was happy when he heard it, "After I go back, I will start this project as soon as possible, and I will inevitably trouble Mr. Hillar when the time comes!"

"No problem!" Hillar finally shook hands with Liu Xiao, "I welcome you at any time. Finally, I wish Mr. Liu a safe journey home!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Xiao politely said twice, and took the trolley case he brought when he came from Will's hand, "Mr. Will, thank you for taking care of you for many days, I will definitely treat you warmly if you have the opportunity to come to China!"

"Mr. Liu, take care!" Will smiled, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go to China to find you!"

"Goodbye!" Liu Xiao glanced at the two of them one last time, turned around and walked into the security checkpoint, these few days in Estonia were the most wonderful days in his life.

When the plane landed at Haicheng Airport, Liu Xiao thought about picking him up, he must still be the director of the business department, he likes to do the work of picking up people and sending people away, who knows that as soon as he got out of the airport, the scene of reception scared Liu Xiao.

A flash of light flashed, not only Liu Xiao, but all the people at the entrance of the airport were taken aback, Liu Xiao reacted, and quickly looked around, could it be that there were any big people who were on the same plane as themselves?

As a result, before the big man was found, Liu Xiao was surrounded by this group of reporters, and the people who were surrounded inside were all domestic media, because many of them had seen Liu Xiao before, so they rushed up as soon as possible, and those foreign media were squeezed outside, they had never seen Liu Xiao before, and they suffered a little loss at this time.

Liu Xiao was still stunned, and the reporters' questions poured over the world, "May I ask if this trip to Estonia means that the soft alliance is ready to attack the overseas market?", "What are the security products sold by the soft alliance to Estonia, and do they also belong to the category of strategic products?", "After getting the Estonian ZF order, what is the next step for the soft alliance?", "When Estonia was hacked, Mr. Liu happened to be in Estonia, please talk about your views on this matter as a witness!" "Is the product of the soft alliance really as magical as Estonian ZF said?", "Where does Mr. Liu think this cyber war between Estonia and Russia will go?"

It is not the first time that Liu Xiao has been surrounded by reporters, so he calmed his mind and opened his bow left and right: "The company sent me to Estonia, just to submit samples of our new products to the Estonian network security department, and I have nothing to say about other aspects, as for whether I am ready to attack the overseas market, I have to wait until I return to the company to know, but the company has not yet made a decision in this regard." As for the question of the performance of our new products, this cannot be decided by ourselves, we have planned to send a sample of our products to the network security departments of various countries, how is the performance, you can get the answer after a period of time to consult these departments! If you still have anything to know, please wait a few days, in a few days the soft alliance will hold a press conference on the new project, I here to send you an invitation. ”

Liu Xiao said, smiled and brushed aside these reporters and prepared to leave the airport. It was indeed the head of the business department who came to pick him up, and he was also struggling to open the way for Liu Xiao at this time.

It took a lot of effort and the two of them were so tired that they sweated all over their hearts before they squeezed out of the airport and got into the car.

"My God, hurry up and drive!" The head of the business department instructed the driver to drive while fanning the wind with his hand, "Mr. Liu, do you see, the situation outside is getting bigger and bigger, in China, it is estimated that there is no company with our faction!"

"Hehe......" Liu Xiao smiled, "As long as they don't surround me, everything is easy to say!"

"The people in the company are ready to celebrate for you!" As soon as the head of the business department said this, he became excited, "You don't know, the faxes and letters that our soft alliance has received in the past few days have to be stacked two feet thick, and they are all interested in our new product." ”

"Do you have a quotation?" Liu Xiao is most concerned about this, "You quickly notify the company, if there is a price, just say a set of products for 300,000 US dollars!"

The head of the "300,000 !!" business department thought he had misheard, "Can you sell it?"

"Absolutely!" Liu Xiao nodded, "Just rest assured and boldly report it!"

"Okay!" the business executive gritted his teeth, "Anyway, it won't be wrong to listen to you, I'll notify them now and let them change the quote!"

"That's right!" Liu Xiao raised his hand, "By the way, let the people from the company contact Huawei, just say that we have a big project to cooperate with them, and ask them if they are willing! There is also ......", Liu Xiao suddenly stopped talking and said: "Forget it, Boss Xiong and Mr. Qian, I'll go there myself, you just notify Huawei!"

"Mr. Liu!" The business director was a little suspicious, "What big projects do we have to cooperate with Huawei in the future?"

"You just need to inform you!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I made the decision after careful consideration, and when I return to the company, I will tell you what the big project is and why I want to cooperate with Huawei!"

"That's okay!" the business director nodded, and started dialing the phone with a smile, "I think I just informed them that they were ready for a meeting, hehe!"
