Cybersecurity vendor Sangfor Technologies recently held its annual flagship event, the *Sangfor International Roadshow 2025* in Hong Kong, which garnered strong support from more than 350 industry professionals, creating a vibrant atmosphere. This year’s event, themed *Digital Plus｜IT Minus*, showcased Sangfor’s critical mission of simplifying cybersecurity in the AI era, making network security maintenance easier!
Ir Tony Wong JP, Commissioner for Digital Policy, as the opening guest speaker highlighted that AI technology is a transformative global wave, not only reshaping socio-economic development but also revolutionizing human lifestyles in every aspect. He emphasized that in this era of both opportunities and challenges, enabling AI to empower industries effectively while managing risks and promoting sustainable, balanced development has become a key issue for economies worldwide. Tony noted that enterprises and organizations must not only rely on traditional cybersecurity defense techniques but also embrace innovative protective measures, such as leveraging AI and machine learning.
Leave Complexity to the System, Keep Simplicity for People
As one of the first Chinese cybersecurity firms to expand globally, Sangfor has been operating in Hong Kong since 2008, accumulating extensive local experience. In the journey toward digital transformation, Sangfor has taken the lead in using AI to streamline IT architecture and processes, optimizing existing IT security systems—ensuring complexity is handled by technology, while simplicity remains with people.
The sharing session kicked off with a presentation by Derek Chan, Head of Solution Consultant. Derek pointed out that past cybersecurity efforts were highly fragmented, with enterprises purchasing security products to address isolated issues. Citing a Gartner report, 30% to 50% of security products from different vendors in the market have overlapping functionalities, ultimately leading to overly complex IT security architectures and increased costs for businesses.
Sangfor Leverages AI to Pioneer Security GPT
As early as May 2023, Sangfor released the first version of its *Security GPT*, gaining a first-mover advantage. Today, it boasts around 400 to 500 users. Security GPT’s computing power, talent, and data are among the best in the industry, delivering exceptional AI performance. Its security detection models include phishing detection, security inspection, and security operations, among others.
Additionally, Security GPT can integrate with XDR (Extended Detection and Response). *"Through AI-powered automated analysis and alert correlation, the number of alerts can be drastically reduced from 70,000–80,000 per day to just 100–200 high-risk security incidents daily."* He added, *"Clients or partners can also train their own security data to develop security solutions."*
The event was packed with insights, featuring seven keynote speeches and panel discussions where industry experts shared their perspectives on the future of AI and cybersecurity, leaving participants with valuable takeaways. Ringo Yiu, Regional Manager, Mature Asia-Pacific Region of Sangfor, stated that AI-driven attacks have rendered traditional defense systems inadequate. Adopting AI can significantly enhance user experience and operational efficiency, and Sangfor will continue to support enterprises in achieving AI innovation and implementation. *"Simplifying complexity is not just a slogan—it’s Sangfor’s commitment."*
