With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology, the synergistic effect between geographic information data and digital economy is increasing, which provides a reliable data element guarantee for China's economic and social development. Geographic information data is not only an important strategic data resource, but also a new factor of production, which is widely used in precision agriculture, energy and power, intelligent networked vehicles and other industries, as well as in our daily life in express online shopping, takeaway food delivery, housekeeping services and other scenarios. However, some organizations and personnel with ulterior motives have used geographic information system software to try to steal confidential and sensitive geographic information data, which has brought threats and hidden dangers to China.
GIS software is a professional software with functions such as geographic information data collection, storage, analysis, management, and sharing. These powerful software can annotate all kinds of collected geographic information on the map, and analyze and display it as needed, and the coordinate accuracy can even reach the centimeter level. However, some foreign organizations, institutions, and individuals have set their sights on the "big cake" of geographic information data and attempted to use geographic information system software to carry out intelligence theft activities. The means include: automatically connecting to overseas servers during the use of the software and collecting user data without restrictions;Deliberately pre-built "backdoors" in software to open the door to cyberattacks and data theft, etc.
In addition, a small number of users have weak awareness of data security, and mark the high-precision geographical location coordinates of urban pipe networks, military targets, and secret-related units on the map, resulting in serious risks of leakage of secrets, which may cause irreparable losses. In the face of these severe challenges, we must take action to protect the country's geographic information security.
First of all, the first department should strengthen the supervision of geographic information data, improve relevant laws and regulations, and severely crack down on illegal acquisition, use and dissemination of classified geographic information data. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the public's awareness of geographic information data security, and regularly carry out publicity and education activities to let more people understand the importance of geographic information data security.
Secondly, enterprises should earnestly fulfill their social responsibilities, strengthen the research and development and update of geographic information system software, and ensure the security of the software. In software design, development, testing, release and other links, it is necessary to strictly implement security norms to prevent the emergence of "backdoors". At the same time, enterprises should establish and improve the user data security protection mechanism, encrypt the storage and transmission of user data, and effectively ensure the security of user data.
Finally, every citizen should raise awareness of data security and pay attention to protecting their privacy and data security when using GIS software. Do not easily label sensitive information, do not share geographical location at will, and avoid giving criminals an opportunity.
In short, it is the common responsibility of the whole society to protect the security of national geographic information. Let us work together to contribute to the maintenance of national geographic information security.
