Measures for the administration of communication network security protection

With the development of China's communication industry and informatization, political, economic, cultural and social life are increasingly dependent on communication networks, which have become the key infrastructure of the country. Once the communication network is interrupted, paralyzed or congested, or the data information transmitted, stored and processed in it is lost, leaked or illegally tampered with, it will have a serious impact on social and economic life. Perfecting the legal system of communication network security is conducive to improving the ability and level of communication network security protection.

In addition, with the rapid development of information and communication technology, communication networks are developing in the direction of digitalization, broadband and intelligence. The security threats faced by communication networks are increasingly diversified, and non-traditional security issues such as network attacks and information theft are very prominent. Compared with traditional security issues, non-traditional security issues are more hidden and require higher disposal work and technology. According to the characteristics of the development of information and communication technology, it is beneficial to deal with non-traditional security threats to formulate rules and establish communication network classification, filing and security risk assessment systems.

Establish a hierarchical protection system for communication network units, and stipulate that communication network operating units should divide the communication networks that have been officially put into operation, and divide them into five grades from low to high according to factors such as possible harm to national security, economic operation, social order and public interests after each communication network unit is destroyed.

What security protection systems have been established in the Administrative Measures for Security Protection of Communication Networks?

The first is the classification and filing system of communication network units.

The second is the conformity evaluation system of safety protection measures.

The third is the communication network security risk assessment system.

The fourth is the inspection system of communication network security protection.
