At the 5th Information Security Round Table Forum, Jia Li, director of the Beijing Municipal Information Office Network Security Division, introduced such issues of wide concern as the information security indexing system, annual reports for the information security industry, training for staff involved in e-political affairs as well as conditions for enterprises to participate in government procurement.
