The soft alliance issued such a large-scale risk warning, as if some people did not know, but unfortunately the effect did not receive much. Many people can clearly tell the butterfly effect when they talk about the big truth, but once they encounter something, they may not be able to sort out the cause and effect, the risk warning of the soft alliance makes people confused, how can the cyber crisis that occurred in a small country in Europe affect China, and those hackers who attack Estonia should still have the most basic accuracy, right?

Those companies that have been overwhelmed by the soft alliance for a while have finally seized the opportunity to use all the media they can mobilize to launch a propaganda offensive and question the motive of the soft alliance for issuing such a vague warning. They concluded that this risk warning of the softalliance was a naked threatening letter sent to Chinese netizens, and the purpose was to make everyone use the products of the softalliance, which was an unfair market competition.

The doubts of these companies, although they did not cause any big waves, but also made many people begin to pay attention to this matter, who is right and wrong, and wait patiently for a period of time to know the result, if the attack does not affect China, then the soft alliance has ulterior motives.

When Fang Guokun saw these doubts, he only frowned slightly, and then threw down a sentence: "This kind of questioning can only prove his incompetence, a bunch of fools!" Fang Guokun is very disdainful of the behavior of these companies, when the attack really comes, he must also question why these companies did not issue warnings in advance, he would like to hear how these companies will explain at that time.

The next day, Liu Xiao was collecting information in the office, and the phone on the desk remembered, Liu Xiao picked it up, "Hello, I'm Liu Xiao!"

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Laughter came from the phone, "I'm Microsoft's Conmac!"

"Hello Mr. Kang!" Liu Xiao put down the information in his hand, "Have you received our news?"

"Yes!" Conmacke smiled, "I have been working hard to promote the cooperation between SoftAlliance and Microsoft, and I am very happy that you can take the initiative to cooperate this time!"

Liu Xiao dragged the phone into the chair, "Then I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Kang has known the strategic technology of our soft alliance for a long time, after a series of tests and practices, now, this set of technology has been very perfect, we are ready to promote this technology to the world, so that more people can enjoy the security services brought by this technology." ”

"That's a good thing, I think a lot of people are looking forward to it!" Conmacke stopped smiling and simply complimented him, because it wasn't a good thing for Microsoft, which was preparing to expand into the security market.

"We want to cooperate with Microsoft, I wonder if you are interested?" Liu Xiao asked.

"Cooperate with us?" Con Mike pondered Liu Xiao's meaning in his heart, and asked tentatively: "In what way is Mr. Liu going to cooperate?" Con Mike did not have any hope for this cooperation, the soft alliance was not satisfied with the cooperation method proposed by his side, and it was estimated that it was difficult for him to be interested in their cooperation method, and there was the most fundamental difference between the two sides.

"We have encapsulated the policy-level technology into a platform, which can also be said to be a security engine, through this engine, anyone can design policy-level security products, and our own security products are also made through this engine. Liu Xiao paused, "I wonder if Microsoft is interested in this security engine?"

"Is Mr. Liu going to sell this security engine, or is he going to license it to Microsoft?"

"Authorize!" Liu Xiao said unequivocally, that is, he wanted Conmack to die of the idea of acquiring the security engine, "Microsoft's strength in software production can be said to be the world's leading, I think the security engine in your hands, it will definitely be able to play the maximum performance!"

Con Mike is not a person who will be stunned by a handful, he has finally heard Liu Xiao's plan now, it seems that Liu Xiao's appetite is not small, the plan sounds very good, but you have adopted the security engine of the soft alliance, in addition to paying the user fee to the soft alliance every year, in fact, you are helping the soft alliance to sell his engine, Con Mike is not stupid, Microsoft has the strength to design the security engine by itself, there is no need to use someone else's, but Con Mike did not say death, said: " It's a very interesting way to cooperate, so let's contact the headquarters and see what the headquarters means. ”

Liu Xiao seemed to have expected that Kang Mike would say this, and he smiled, "No problem, you have enough time to think about it, you can take it as long as you want!"

As soon as Conmack heard this, his heart began to feel empty, Liu Xiao looked indifferent, could it be that he had reached an authorization agreement with other security agencies? Conmacke secretly congratulated himself that he didn't say anything to death just now, now these media don't know what is crazy, crazy hype up the products of the soft alliance, and fight endlessly in newspapers and magazines every day, in many countries in Europe and the United States, the name of the soft alliance is already so popular that everyone knows it, if the soft alliance really gives the authorization to other companies, then the security market that Microsoft has worked hard to open up in the past two years is estimated to be greatly reduced.

"It won't be too long, I will definitely urge the headquarters to give a reply as soon as possible, Mr. Liu, please rest assured. "However, I would like to ask, is it true that after the authorization is given to us, the soft alliance will not enter our inherent market?"

"Of course!" Liu Xiao replied with a smile, "In the future, we will only do licensing in overseas markets, but this is limited to the individual user market and the enterprise market, but you can use our security engine to develop products of any level!"

"Okay, I'm clear! As soon as there is a reply from the headquarters, I will notify Mr. Liu!" Conmacke was about to hang up the phone.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then sorted out his own information, which still needs to be sorted out and analyzed, and the information that needs to be sorted out next to him is neatly and orderly coded into a large folder, and there is a handwritten title on the folder: "The development of cyber warfare and future network security trends."

After finishing his study of "The Next World War" written by a US military intelligence expert, Liu Xiao is not yet finished, and judging by Liu Xiao's serious appearance now, it seems that he himself is preparing to write a research monograph! It seems that he is really going to work on that big research topic.

In the past two days, the press conference of the soft alliance will be held, this time the soft alliance set up the press conference in Haicheng very famous international conference center to be held, the outside world has begun to speculate in advance, after the soft alliance swept away the domestic individual user market, it is ready to attack the overseas market, and the choice to hold a press conference in the international conference center itself is a manifestation of this determination.

The domestic media have long been looking forward to the soft alliance to attack the overseas market, and they hope that the soft alliance can create a world-class brand belonging to China. In the eyes of the domestic media, the fact that the SoftAlliance was able to kill Sidney at the Black Hat Conference, thwart the world's suspicions, and later resisted the large-scale data flood attack in Estonia, is simply a national hero-like performance, which itself proves that the SoftAlliance has the strength to compete with world-class security companies, and everyone expects that the SoftAlliance can continue to create more myths. Before the press conference started, the domestic media had already entered the venue, and they couldn't wait, so they pulled the employees of the soft alliance who arranged the venue on the side to ask, hoping to find out some of the content of the press conference.

There were also a lot of foreign media at the venue, and in the same direction as their recent reports, these people were also divided into two factions, one faction was supportive, the other faction demolished the stage, and the two groups of people occupied both sides of the venue, and no one paid attention to anyone, just waiting for the press conference to begin.

After the staff arranged the venue, they put the sign marked with the names of the main guests on the table in front of the venue, and as soon as it was put on, it caused a riot in the media in the venue, they saw the name of Gu Zhendong, president of Huawei, Huawei is the biggest competitor of the soft alliance in China, why is there Gu Zhendong present at the press conference of the soft alliance?

The media guessed for a long time, but they didn't guess that he was ugly, but fortunately, the press conference was not going to be a few minutes, and the mystery would soon be revealed.

When the time came, Liu Xiao and Gu Zhendong walked in from a side door of the venue on time, followed by a foreigner, and the media aimed their long guns and short cannons at the three of them, and there was a burst of wild shooting.

The three of them walked to the front of the stage, Gu Zhendong and the foreigner sat in their seats respectively, but Liu Xiao stood in front of the podium, and when the media were a little quieter, Liu Xiao said: "Thank you to all the media for their attention to the soft alliance, especially thank you to the media who are here today, thank you!"

Liu Xiao bowed slightly, and then continued: "Today, the soft alliance held a press conference here, mainly to release some future development strategies in the domestic and overseas markets, and we also hope to take this opportunity to seek some partners around the world." After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he briefly introduced the development history and predecessor of the soft alliance, some of the past developments, and then the current situation, "Now, the market positioning of the soft alliance is more accurate, and the products are more abundant, both soft and hard." Up to now, our personal version of the security system platform has occupied more than 60% of the domestic personal security market; the sales of the enterprise version and the professional version have increased at a rate of 45 percent per week; the number of customers who require the overall security solution of the enterprise network has increased by 37 times compared with half a year ago, and the construction date of the customer has been extended to half a year later; in terms of hardware, we have developed high-end products with higher performance and achieved praise. ”

"It can be said that after these years of hard work, the soft alliance has very strong technical reserves, research and development strength, and strong competitiveness, and the soft alliance has completed the initial goal when it was founded, and next, the soft alliance needs a greater development. To this end, the company has formulated the second phase of strategic development goals. After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he said: "From today on, the soft alliance will set sail again to achieve this new goal, and in the new development strategy of the soft alliance, it will include both domestic and foreign markets, and the soft alliance will make efforts in these two markets at the same time!"

The domestic media were waiting for this sentence, and suddenly there was a burst of slapping, and some were already cheering excitedly.

When the media calmed down, Liu Xiao cleared his throat and said, "I will first introduce to you some details of SoftAlliance's expansion in overseas markets. Liu Xiao looked at the many media in front of him, "Soft Alliance has mentioned many times before that the personal version of the security platform will not be sold and promoted in overseas markets, and this position will still not change, and the personal version of the security product will only be promoted in China in the future, and only one version of the Chinese version will be released!"

The media in the audience were all stunned, what is going on, such a good product, why not sell it in overseas markets, it will definitely be the same fire if it is taken out, everyone doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of SoftAlliance, I can't figure it out!

"But this doesn't mean that overseas individual users can't enjoy the security services of SoftAlliance's strategic products!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at the foreigner sitting next to Gu Zhendong, and the foreigner stood up, Liu Xiao stretched out his hand, "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Chandler from the German BDHD security technology company!"

The foreigner, Chandler, gestured to the media.

"BDHD has very deep software R&D capabilities, and they have obtained the overseas license to use the SBLight's strategic security technology, and in the future, BDHD will develop a series of security products on the SBLight's strategic security engine, which will be promoted in Germany and larger overseas markets. Liu Xiao smiled and invited Chandler to sit down, and then said: "The strategic security engine is a new generation of security technology platform carefully developed by SoftAlliance, including all security products of SoftAlliance, are developed on this platform! In the next three months, SoftAlliance will continue to look for more than 50 partners overseas and in China, so that more security companies can design strategic security products through the same authorization method, so that all people can enjoy the new security experience brought by the strategic level. ”

"Oh!" The media breathed a sigh of relief, although this is not a direct attack on the overseas market, but it is already a kind of expansion, it seems that the soft alliance in the overseas expansion market, is not in a hurry, but has a steady overall plan, but everyone still has a lot of doubts, waiting for the end of the release to start asking.

Liu Xiao waved to the staff on the side at this time, and saw two employees of the soft alliance walking over with a red silk hijab together, and put the thing on the table in front of them.

"Now, we ask Mr. Gu Zhendong, the president and chairman of Huawei Group, to unveil this colorful curtain for us!" Liu Xiao left the podium after speaking, walked to Gu Zhendong's side, and asked him to stand up with a smile.

Gu Zhendong didn't shirk either, stood up and agreed to the media, and generously took off the piece of red silk. The cameras of the media have long been aimed at it, and the crackling is first a while, and then I carefully look at the thing under the red silk, which is similar to a computer case, but it is a little smaller, and the appearance is very impactful, a bit like a Transformer, but it is more like a silent beast, and on the forehead of the beast, it is a soft alliance brand logo made of metal, with a few traces of cold light.

"This is the firewall product that everyone has been paying attention to recently!" Liu Xiao said with a smile at this time. In fact, this is a shell, the industrial design experts recruited by the soft alliance, have already designed the shape of the hardware firewall for the soft alliance, after several changes, today finally took it out, the hard work was not in vain, and all these people on the scene were calmed, it is full of spirituality like the software before the soft alliance, making you feel that it is more like a living thing.

As soon as these words came out, the media hurriedly took a few more shots, this thing has always been only known by its name, not seen, but when I saw it today, it was really domineering and extraordinary, no wonder it could make such a big splash in Estonia.

Liu Xiao asked Gu Zhendong to stand in front of the podium with him, "This firewall product will become a high-end flagship product of SoftAlliance in the hardware security market, in order to maximize the performance of this product, SoftAlliance invited Huawei Group, which has rich experience in hardware development." Huawei Group is the world's leading hardware communication equipment manufacturer, accounting for half of the world's operator market, by Huawei Group to develop and design the hardware part of the firewall, will make this product in compatibility, adaptability can fully meet the requirements of the operator level, the firewall can play a greater and more perfect security effect. ”

A thought popped up in the minds of the media, "Does this mean that the soft alliance and Huawei that used to be competitors will join forces in the future to level the market together?", this is a big news, the two most powerful security companies in China have joined forces, so do other security companies still have a head to live, that is, those old overseas security companies, it is estimated that they have to be afraid of three points.

The staff sent the agreement at this time, and the soft alliance signed an agreement with Huawei and Germany's BDHD under the witness of all the media, which means that the soft alliance has taken the first step in attacking the overseas market, and at the same time, it has further consolidated its position in the domestic market.

After the agreement was signed and the release was over, the media immediately began to ask crazy questions, knowing the first step of the soft alliance, they still wanted to know more, such as how the second and third steps of the soft alliance will go.

Almost at the same time, the spokesperson of the Estonian ZF also held a press conference, in which he officially announced that the Estonian network has completed the security upgrade, all ZF, banking, media websites have been basically restored, and the ZF will reopen the Estonian network and the international Internet link channel in a few minutes. At the same time, Estonia will continue to seek more evidence that the attackers were from Russia.

A few minutes later, the Estonian network was connected to the Internet again, and they were still greeted by a powerful torrent of data. As they did last time, the attackers were trying to repeat the trick of increasing data traffic to the limit of Estonia's network load in less than two minutes.

But this time, Estonia was prepared for it, and they took measures to divert their network, and the network capacity was tripled before, and the adversary's attack did not affect the normal operation of the network in the slightest. After the opponent increased the traffic twice in a row, the attack seemed to have reached the limit, and the traffic of the data flood began to slide down slowly, while Estonia was just a few small websites that were paralyzed at this time, and their key networks such as ZF, Congress, and banks were all undamaged.

Hillar, who was standing in the command center, breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the opponent's limit was finally known, it was more than 2,800 times the normal network traffic in Estonia before, if it was not for the use of soft alliance products this time, and the load capacity of the network was expanded, I am afraid that it will be planted again, it seems that the other party has collected a lot of botnets in the past few days.

After Estonia survived this round of attacks by the other side, a flood of data no less than the other side began to gather from all over the world and merged into the Russian network, which then began to be partially paralyzed, and some ZF websites also showed traces of hacking. Everything that happened in Estonia before, repeated itself in Russia!
