NSIC Cyber Security Intelligence Center: Reinventing the Data Security Defense Line for SMEs
In the wave of digital transformation, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing increasingly severe cyber security challenges. According to IDC data in 2024, 83% of data incidents in SMEs are caused by configuration errors. Traditional patchwork security solutions, due to flaws such as fragmented permission systems, high risks of file loss of control, and complex operation and maintenance, struggle to meet the needs. Meanwhile, a survey in 2022 showed that over 90% of SMEs have been suffering from cyber attacks for a long time, but nearly 90% of them have an annual security budget of less than 100,000 yuan. Facing this market gap, the NSIC Cyber Security Intelligence Center emerged, aiming to provide enterprises with a game - changing tool featuring "professional - level security and foolproof operation" through an integrated hardware - software solution.
Breaking Through Market Pain Points
The R & D motivation of NSIC is rooted in the security dilemmas in real - world scenarios. For example, a design studio suffered an annual loss of over 200,000 yuan due to frequent theft of design drafts, and relying on public cloud storage for remote collaboration led to version chaos. Medical institutions are under increasing pressure to comply with regulations regarding medical insurance data, and semiconductor companies have an urgent need to protect chip blueprints. In response to these pain points, the NSIC team proposed a "four - in - one" solution: purifying the network environment through physical isolation, eliminating the risk of data loss with built - in intelligent storage, constructing a security closed - loop through full - lifecycle tracking and tracing of files, and reducing the operation and maintenance threshold with enterprise - level permission management.
Technological Breakthroughs Driving Product Innovation
The core innovation of NSIC lies in transforming professional security capabilities into a "plug - and - play" hardware hub. Its independent internal and external network modules cut off the lateral penetration path through physical isolation, enabling large - enterprise - level network isolation even on a single computer. At the data protection layer, it supports RAID 0/1/3/5/10 array configurations with 6 mechanical hard drives, reducing the risk of data loss caused by hardware damage to almost zero. More importantly, there is the file tracking system - when a file is opened externally, the system automatically captures metadata such as IP and device ID and issues real - time alerts. Combined with encrypted digital signature technology, it can provide an electronic evidence chain for legal rights protection. Currently, the product has completed hardware prototyping and core function development. The VPN module and data tracing demo will be launched in July, and the team plans to gradually improve user - side functions through remote upgrades.
Business Logic: Hardware as the Entry Point, Services Creating Premium
NSIC adopts a dual - engine model of "hardware sales + subscription services". The standard version targets enterprises with 50 - 500 employees, and the government version focuses on critical infrastructure units. The more promising aspect is the cloud subscription service, whose 85% gross profit margin will generate continuous cash flow as the number of devices in use increases. In terms of channel strategy, the team chose a "profit - sharing + deep - binding" model, offering 50% of the sales gross profit to distributors, along with free training, joint customer visits, and after - sales support systems. The plan is to establish 5 regional channels in vertical industries such as semiconductors and healthcare. During the market validation phase, the team targeted benchmark customers such as IC design companies (for chip blueprint protection) and provincial TV stations (for content anti - tampering), aiming to verify product stickiness and market demand with a 70% trial conversion rate.
Diverse Scenarios Proving Product Value
NSIC demonstrates its value in different scenarios. Early tests showed that a design studio using NSIC successfully blocked cyber attacks, with zero data leakage incidents throughout the year and a 40% increase in the efficiency of remote collaboration file transfer. Medical customers achieved compliant management of medical data through permission grading, reducing the audit response time by 75%. Notably, there is the file evidence - providing function. After a company's design drafts were stolen, it completed legal evidence - providing with the encrypted digital certificate generated by NSIC, which would require additional purchase of third - party services in traditional solutions. These cases prove the market value of the product's "protection - management - evidence - collection" closed - loop design.
Founding Team: The Chemical Reaction between Sales Elites and Tech Geeks
CEO Wang Zihan, formerly the sales director of Shanghai Huikong Zhixian, is well - versed in the ToB market strategy and channel building. CTO Zhou Junyi, a returnee from York University majoring in information technology, has led the commercialization of multiple cyber security products. The combination of their "market insight + technology implementation" forms a dual - engine, driving NSIC to progress from concept validation to an engineering prototype in 10 months. The team revealed that the current focus is to refine the product through tests with benchmark customers, and they plan to start large - scale promotion in 2025.
In the current era of deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, NSIC aims to solve the "impossible triangle" of security investment for SMEs - low cost, high reliability, and easy operation and maintenance. Breaking through in this field may redefine the baseline standard for enterprise data security.
Accelerated by Capital: Opening the Angel Round to Build a Security Foundation
With the completion of hardware prototyping and the start of tests with 10 benchmark customers, the NSIC project officially opens a 5 - million - yuan angel round of financing. The funds will be specifically used for:
1. Building and optimizing distributor channels
2. Accelerating marketing and team expansion
3. Ensuring supply chain stability and supporting product R & D
4. Accelerating the rapid growth of the user base
