On July 19, local time, many foreign netizens reported that the company's computer had a blue screen that could not be used, and some of Microsoft's services and applications could not be used normally, which had a great impact on major industries around the world.
The deepest victims of this systemic failure are the United States, where major airlines have suspended flights one after another, accumulating more than 30,000 flights. In addition to this, the financial sector has also been affected, and there has been an anomaly on the London Stock Exchange.
The global glitch was resolved on the same day, and it was later revealed that the cause was an update released by global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike, which triggered a bug in the Windows system, so the blue screen phenomenon was widespread.
However, in the midst of this global IT disaster, China is alone. In this regard, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Company, believes that domestic security software has made great contributions.
360 great contributions
Zhou Hongyi followed up as soon as possible after the Microsoft blue screen incident, and expressed his views in the video: "The impact of this global IT paralysis is huge, bringing about the shutdown of major industries around the world, but China's various industries are almost not affected.
The incident stemmed from an update from Crowdstrike, an enterprise-level antivirus company that relies on the antivirus services provided by the company, which has led to widespread blue screen situations.
In contrast, the domestic cyber security solution is very different from that of foreign countries, and domestic airlines generally use domestic antivirus software, such as 360 antivirus software, so they were spared in this accident.
What I want to express is that domestic security software such as 360 is not inferior to foreign antivirus software at the technical level, and even ahead of international antivirus software in terms of customized services, and has achieved localization well. ”

Zhou Hongyi also mentioned that if there is such a systematic paralysis in China, 360 can quickly help: "360 and other domestic antivirus software can quickly help when they encounter this situation and find a solution to deal with the problem of blue screen."
The lesson of this global IT paralysis is that many companies that are doing digital solutions need to pay more attention to cyber security and cannot rely on a single security defense method.
The reason why these large foreign companies such as Tesla have been greatly affected is that they rely too much on Microsoft's services and only use Microsoft's cloud services, in fact, I think hybrid cloud is the future trend, which can effectively ensure the continuity of business in the event of failure.
The fact that China's major industries were not affected by this incident is not an accident, but an inevitable result of the long-term use of domestic antivirus software. ”
However, many netizens don't seem to buy Zhou Hongyi's remarks, thinking that Zhou Hongyi is giving credit to 360.
没有人会给360好评，别再给自己邀功了。
虽然360在有些地方很流氓，但是就免费的一点上，360确实没得黑。 360 has really made a lot of contributions to anti-virus.
在没有病毒的时候，360是最大的病毒。 When there is a virus, 360 is a strong antivirus.
