What are the advantages of CICA? A: we are a security software platform company. Our dominant products are basically in the form of security software. We are the security manufacturer with the highest proportion of software. One is identity security. CICA security ranks first in the industry; The second is endpoint security. AsiaInfo security ranks second in terminal security. Q: will the revenue share of standard products and solution products change in the future? A: Yes. The gross profit margin of standard products is 75%, and that of solutions is 50%. In the future, with the completion of sales capacity, the proportion of standard product revenue will continue to increase, which will also drive our overall gross profit margin to rise. Q: does the competitive advantage of network security industry come from technical barriers or sales ability? A: there may still be some differences in your understanding of technical barriers. Some people think that technical barriers are long-term and should occupy a high position; However, some people think that technology needs to be iterated continuously, so it is a phased advantage. However, in short, security manufacturers should continue to invest, especially in the realization of high growth. They should not only improve the product capacity, but also make necessary investment in sales. However, each manufacturer will focus on these two capabilities at different stages. Q: what is the progress of CICA security in the non operator industry? A: CICA security was originally mainly in the operator industry. In order to open up market space, it began to enter other industries from 2020. In 2020, the company achieved initial results in finance, government, energy and other industries. The financial industry increased by 51%, the government industry by 40% and the energy industry by 26% year-on-year.

Q: what is the development prospect of the company’s large terminal business?

A: the company’s large terminal business is the company’s core business, which is widely used in finance, power, government and other industries.

The functional modules of the products have further widened the width of the product track from the traditional anti-virus, and added functional components such as table tube, access control and EDR, which meet the various needs of customers, and the business income has also developed rapidly.

Q: what is the role of CICA’s security operation services?

A: safe operation service can increase the stickiness of customers and drive the income of the company’s products. Therefore, we believe that this is something that complements and promotes each other, and even safety services play the role of locomotive.

Q: does AsiaInfo security have an overall corporate strategy for security services?

A: security service is one of the four major product lines of CICA security. With corresponding department teams, the revenue growth rate in 2021 is high, and there are also their own successful cases. However, CICA security does not intend to provide all security services. We prefer security services that do not require too much human investment and can realize relatively remote business through platforms or products. In short, lightweight deployment.
