en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the "Network Threat Protection Application and Research Project," led by the Science, Technology, and Digitalization Department of Jinchuan Group Co., Ltd. (Jinchuan Group) and jointly implemented by Jinchuan Group Information and Automation Engineering Co., Ltd. and Beijing Lingyu Wangxin Technology Co., Ltd., has completed its phased construction tasks. A total of 344 sets of industrial data security reinforcement devices have been deployed on a large scale across Jinchuan Group's core production plants, covering all industrial control hosts, achieving a comprehensive upgrade of the industrial control security protection system.
Headquartered in Jinchang City, Gansu Province, China, Jinchuan Group is the largest producer of nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals in China and a major backbone enterprise in the country's non-ferrous metals industry. Its business spans multiple sectors, including mining, mineral processing, smelting, chemicals, thermal power, and new materials. Jinchuan Group Information and Automation Engineering Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jinchuan Group, specializes in industrial automation and information system integration. Beijing Lingyu Wangxin Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Beijing, is an enterprise focused on the research and development of industrial cybersecurity technologies, providing industrial control security protection products and solutions.
This deployment covers 27 key production units of Jinchuan Group, including core production sectors such as mining, mineral processing, smelting, chemicals, thermal power, power supply, and new materials. It is fully compatible with mainstream industrial control operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 10, filling the security protection gaps for industrial control hosts across various production lines. The system adopts advanced firmware-level security protection technology, breaking through the limitations of traditional software-based protection, and provides round-the-clock, fully automated backup services for industrial control systems, production configurations, and core operational data. In the event of sudden incidents such as ransomware attacks, hard drive failures, or system anomalies, the system can quickly restore industrial control systems and production data, resume equipment operation, significantly reduce fault downtime, and address the pain points of traditional industrial control systems, including weak protection, slow recovery, and insufficient risk resistance.
During project implementation, to address challenges such as compatibility difficulties with multiple device models and instability in some hosts, the project team, in collaboration with the R&D team, conducted multiple rounds of specialized testing and customized development. They completed adaptation optimization for all device categories and implemented version iterations and upgrades, thoroughly resolving host instability issues and ensuring the stable operation of the reinforcement devices. Additionally, to ensure efficient and stable equipment operation and enhance the practical skills of frontline personnel, the project team established a full-process, multi-tiered specialized training system, regularly conducting hands-on training and technical exchanges, achieving simultaneous improvements in operational maintenance capabilities and equipment protection effectiveness.
Jinchuan Group plans to leverage the experience from this large-scale deployment to continuously advance the summarization, optimization, and promotion of results, achieving technical standardization reuse and scenario-based expansion, providing a replicable practical solution for the construction of industrial control security protection.
