在文章开篇,很多人也许会质疑记者为何要将电信运营商视为信息安全产业的最神秘客户。的确,在信息安全的圈子内,由于安全的特殊性,并不乏像政府、部队一些重点行业客户的身影,很难从他们身上获得第一手的采访资料,用“神秘莫测”来形容并不为过。但是在记者看来,电信运营商的身份,则更加特殊一些。一方面,电信运营商由于其数以亿计的庞大客户群,在公众公开性方面备受瞩目,其大规模的采购实力更是引得信息安全企业纷纷追捧。另一方面,电信运营商又因为其特殊的垄断地位、保密要求,对自身的系统建设讳莫如深,外人很难一窥虚实。 At the beginning of the article, many people may question why journalists consider telecom operators as the most mysterious customers in the information security industry. Indeed, in the circle of information security, due to the particularity of security, there is no lack of first-hand interview information about some key industry customers such as the government and the armed forces. Described as not excessive. However, in the opinion of reporters, the identity of telecom operators is even more special. On the one hand, because of its huge customer base of hundreds of millions, the telecom operators have drawn much attention on the openness of the public. Its large-scale purchasing power has attracted more information security companies. On the other hand, because of their special monopoly status and confidentiality requirements, telecom operators are also very secretive about their own system construction and it is very difficult for outsiders to get a glimpse of reality.
