    Discussion Paper No.293 The Formation of the Software and Information Services Industry in Dalian, China Yan Zhang and Nozomu Kawabata April 2013 TOHOKU ECONOMICS RESEARCH GROUP GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT TOHOKU UNIVERSITY 27-1 KAWAUCHI, AOBA-KU, SENDAI, 980-8576 JAPAN 2 The Formation of the Software and Information Services Industry in Dalian, China Yan Zhang (Fujitsu Research Institute) Nozomu Kawabata (Tohoku University) 1. Introduction (1) The Purpose of This Study The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the factors leading to the formation of the software and information services industry in the city of Dalian, China. Studies on information services industries around the world acknowledge India as a center for offshore development and service outsourcing. In contrast, China’s information services industry has a higher ratio of software product development targeting domestic markets (Gregory et al., 2009, Chapter 4). Dalian, however, has prospered as a hub for development and services aimed at Japanese market. While the sales volume and value of exports for the software and information services industry in Dalian were over 200 million yuan and several million dollars, respectively, in 1998, the figures exceeded 40.27 billion yuan and 1.4 billion dollars, respectively, in 2009. The export ratio is 23.8% based on the conversion to the U.S. dollar using each year’s foreign exchange rate. This is significantly higher than the 13.2% export ratio of the entire Chinese software and information services industry (Figure 1). In addition, 90.9% of Dalian’s exports are directed to Japan (Dalian Economic and Information Technology Committee et al., 2009), a percentage considerably greater than that for all of China, which is approximately 60% (Department of Software and Services Industry, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China, et al., 2010).

This started with reported breaches in the retail sector, with millions of email addresses and credit card credentials stolen due to advanced persistent threats. Vulnerabilities discovered in legacy SSL encryption technologies, have allowed attackers to take full advantage of these flaws. The network firewall, as the main gateway of all Internet traffic to the trusted network of an organization, thus has a greater responsibility to secure the network from a plethora of security possibilities. These include preventing threats from infiltrating the network to detecting and remediating them should a breach occur. Frost & Sullivan defines the Network Firewall as a product that includes the firewall and/or IPSec VPN on a single platform that can be offered across different form factors (Figure 1).
