On August 18, the “2026 IDC China Artificial Intelligence and Data Summit,” hosted by IDC, was grandly held in Beijing, bringing together numerous industry elites and technology leaders. With its solid technical foundation and mature, proven industry solutions in AI security, NSFOCUS was named to the “2026 IDC China AI Top 50” list, joining the ranks of China’s leading AI enterprises. Dr. Ye Xiaohu, CTO of NSFOCUS, was invited to attend the summit and the award ceremony.
The IDC China AI Top 50 is an authoritative ranking covering the full AI industry chain. Combining quantitative and qualitative evaluation across dimensions such as R&D investment, proprietary technology, real-world deployment, and industry value, it identifies AI companies in China with genuine innovation capability and the ability to serve customers at scale. The list has become a key benchmark for measuring a company’s overall AI strength. NSFOCUS’s inclusion represents the industry’s objective recognition of the company’s strategy of “AI for security, and security for AI.”
Forward-looking Layout in AI and LLM Security
With more than two decades of deep expertise in cybersecurity, NSFOCUS made an early foray into AI and LLM security. Building on long-term offensive and defensive research across its eight security labs, the company has accumulated a vast corpus of security attack-and-defense data and a real-world knowledge base, and independently developed the NSFGPT AI Security Capability Platform, a domain-specific SecLLM. Unlike general-purpose LLM vendors, NSFOCUS focuses on two core security needs in the AI era: upgrading traditional cyber defense with AI technology, and building a full-lifecycle security system for LLM and AI applications.
In the AI-for-security field, NSFOCUS has integrated LLM and multi-agent technologies across its entire product portfolio, covering security operations, threat detection, penetration testing, and data loss prevention. Leveraging the collaborative power of AI agents, the company significantly lowers the labor cost of security operations while automating alert noise reduction, threat tracing, and incident response. These solutions have been deployed at scale across finance, energy, telecommunications, government, and enterprise sectors, tangibly helping customers improve their security response efficiency.
In the AI-native security arena, NSFOCUS has built a complete protection system covering risks across the full lifecycle of large model training, deployment, and business operations. The company has introduced dedicated protection products targeting emerging AI threats such as prompt injection, training data poisoning, model leakage, and deepfakes. It has also contributed to the development of multiple national AI security standards and joined the Artificial Intelligence Security Vulnerability Governance Alliance, continuously strengthening industry-wide security governance.
For years, NSFOCUS has driven AI technology iteration with real-world needs, pursuing practical innovation rather than conceptual novelty. Every AI product is refined around genuine enterprise security pain points. Being named to the IDC China AI Top 50 is both a milestone and a new starting point.
Looking ahead, NSFOCUS will continue to deepen its focus in the AI security segment, continuously optimizing its security LLM and intelligent protection system, and balancing technological innovation with real-world adoption. With reliable, pragmatic AI security capabilities, the company will fortify the security foundation for the digital and intelligent transformation of industries across all sectors, upholding its long-standing mission as the “Expert Behind the Giants.”
