Baidu has publicly entered the security field. What should an enterprise do?

According to relevant media, at the current Baidu AI open platform, you can see the security monitoring AI scene by clicking on the case and scene column. The content includes face recognition technology, which can be used for static portrait library and dynamic video stream. The face is accurately identified, integrating face tracking and capture, real-time control, large-scale face retrieval and comparison, providing a complete and easy-to-use systematic solution. It also enables comprehensive control of public places, real-time monitoring, and flexible adaptation of multiple face tracking, specific area control, and specific face alarms.

In addition, among the various job-seeking platforms, Baidu released relevant information on security business users. From this point of view, Baidu’s comprehensive entry security field is beyond doubt.

In fact, Baidu is not the first time to try to enter the security field. As early as 2014, civil security products were introduced. In 2016, in order to promote the construction of smart cities across the country, Baidu Open Cloud BOS technology has blossomed in many cities. In June 2017, Baidu and China Southern Airlines put face recognition technology on the Jiangnan Airport in Nanyang, Henan. This kind of public security project involving the accurate identification and capture of the faces in the dynamic video stream is properly a security business. Just last month, Baidu also released the "smart edge", which is a major breakthrough in domestic edge computing.

From the initial civil security to the smart city, and now to the large-scale security personnel recruitment, Baidu is openly involved in the security field, what about other giants?

Tencent Ali's layout

As early as a few years ago, Tencent established the Utopia Lab to launch related security products and solutions. In April 2017, Tencent and the Wuhan Municipal Public Security Bureau cooperated to build a “smart policing” to explore artificial intelligence in government services. The use of the depth of cooperation. Six months later, an intelligent security monitoring solution was released. On the basis of traditional security monitoring, a large number of artificial intelligence application scenarios have been added, which has greatly extended the scope of security monitoring and made security monitoring more efficient.

The deepest match between Alibaba and security is the operation of the city's brain. Such a giant-level data processing system not only improves the traffic environment, but also recognizes fake cards and decks.

Today, for Ali and Tencent, the most fierce confrontation may be regarded as the "striking war" of smart cities. With massive user base and technical support, giants such as BAT are providing smart city solutions for local governments. In February of this year, Tencent signed a contract with the Jiangsu Provincial Government to build "Smart Jiangsu" and put Jiangsu into its own category. Ali is also very happy to install "smart brains" in more and more cities.

In the "contention" of smart cities, Ali and Tencent's "siege war" reflect the urgent need for the comprehensive development of "smart city", and also shows the development trend of urban security from "safe city" to "smart city" .

What should a security person do?

In the face of giants such as BAT, they have more innovative thinking, more powerful strength, and more subversive, and the impact on the industry is often immeasurable, especially in the smart city field, should be alert to security companies.

However, we should also rationally see the inherent advantages of security companies. For example, the rich experience accumulated in the Ping An City project over the years. For smart cities, safe cities are indispensable. Compared with those newcomers, the practical experience and business model of security companies can be more conveniently applied to smart cities.

In addition, the ability of security companies to process massive amounts of data is also an advantage. Smart city is a complex giant system. It needs to use the "brain" to manage all subsystems such as public video surveillance and security card to achieve the overall optimization effect. However, in this process, collecting and processing urban big data becomes the key. Security enterprises are experts in processing data. Through structured processing of data, security enterprises can quickly locate information and extract valuable information from massive data.

Moreover, for security companies, the intervention of giants such as BAT is not completely bad news. Just like the "squid effect", strong opponents can better stimulate market vitality, enhance the sense of crisis of security companies, and keep the whole industry strong. vitality.

Conclusion

In the security field, not only Baidu, BAT and other giant companies are taking advantage of the huge market of security industry. Facing these giants, security companies may strengthen the research and development of hard technologies such as deep learning to build a more efficient smart city brain. At the same time, people-oriented, deepen the needs of urban residents, provide safer smart city solutions, and let the years of accumulated security experience release strong competitiveness.
