The progress of the information industry, the advancement of artificial intelligence, and the advancement of the Internet of Things industry have led to a significant increase in the usage of network service programs and mobile applications. It has created more complex IT infrastructure and larger network attack space.

Infrastructure is gradually becoming IoT-enabled. The IoT has greatly improved the operational efficiency of infrastructure, productivity, staff safety, and has greatly advanced the industry.

Without cyber security, there is no national security, and there is no modernization without informationization. Cyber security is like the "neurology" of the national security system, which is in the strategic position of the entire security system. Once there is a problem with cyber security, all aspects of political security, land security, military security, economic security, and social security that are highly infiltrated with cyber technology will be affected.

As healthcare continues to enter the digital age, IT systems, connected medical devices, digital health applications, electronic medical records - the list goes on and on. Each of these technologies offers tremendous value. Innovations are breathing new life into healthcare and can provide longer, healthier, happier lives. Pacemakers, insulin pumps, microelectromechanical systems all offer the potential to improve quality of life, but they also bring cyber risks that must be addressed.

IBM X-Force research also shows that 70 percent of attacks against financial firms target banks, 16 percent target insurance companies, and 14 percent target other financial institutions.

The manufacturing sector will suffer the most cyber attacks in 2021, with IBM reporting in its X-Force Threat Intelligence index that the number of cyber incidents in this sector exceeds that of the finance and insurance sectors for the first time in five years.
