Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of Qihoo 360 Technology Co, said to media during the third WIC Wednesday that with the popularity of internet of things (IoT) and internet of everything, internet has become the basis of the whole social operation.

"Paying no attention to the cybersecurity in the era of internet of everything means not only the key infrastructures even social management, business operations and urban operations will suffer catastrophic consequences," Zhou said.

He said internet attacks in the era of IoT, whether in the degree or scope of damage, can be bigger. "As IoT connect internet, virtual and real world together, the original virtual attack on internet will cause real damage in the physical world."

Zhou said no countries can be a spectator or survivor in front of internet attacks and everyone is a victim. "Cybersecurity will become an important support for building a community of common future in cyberspace."
