The Goddess Shines on America

When they heard that the girl really had an idea, everyone was excited. President Reagan took the lead and said, "Build a wall? How do you want to build a wall? Between two computers... form what?"

"Oh, I got the inspiration from the field of architecture."

Reagan is in his seventies, and it is not easy for him to understand the professional computer field. Alice quickly said: "Builders will build firewalls when designing buildings. This is a way to prevent the spread of fire. Fire partitions, non-combustible solid walls for fire partitions. I've been thinking about how to deal with trespassing since I got your call, so that's where I got inspired."

"Of course, the firewall in the network is not a physical thing. According to my ideas these days, it should be a network security protocol. To put it bluntly, the transmission of information packets between computer networks must be allowed by the protocol. I One of the biggest features of the router is that it can allow different types of protocols to be interconnected. Then, we only need to design a special software to let it isolate illegal information packets, won’t it be fine?”

Creativity has always been easy to sound, but hard to say. It has been a matter that has worried and frightened the executives for a long time. Putting it here, Alice has a solution in one sentence!

"so what?"

Seeing Alice's voice stopped, Reagan immediately asked: "How should this security protocol be done?"

"It needs to be a combination of software and hardware equipment. Relevant security software is installed on the computer, and the dedicated hardware equipment is constantly operating to monitor network data transmission. As for the production technology..."

"...It can be understood as an isolation technology in essence, an access control measure implemented when two networks communicate. It allows people and data that you 'approve' to enter your network, while keeping you' People and data who don't agree' are kept out, and hackers in the network are prevented from accessing your network to the greatest extent."

"The so-called agree and disagree, to put it more vividly, if the boss of the company is willing, the office computer in the enterprise LAN cannot be connected to the external network. This is the most typical 'disagree'!"

Alice's words once again caused the group of executives in the audience to fall into deep thought every second.

There is no doubt that there is too much information, and it will take time for everyone to absorb it.

No way, creativity is like this.

Represented by advertising companies and game companies, these companies have to convene employees for brainstorming meetings every day, in order to catch the fleeting inspiration in the chat. A game work or an advertisement work is often pieced together after countless brainstorming sessions and the brainstorming of everyone.

This is a process.

How can it be like Alice is doing now, directly pouring ready-made things into other people's brains like beans?

When you hear it, you will suddenly realize it, and then shout: "So that's how it is, so it's so simple!"

Yes, it's that simple, so someone think about it for themselves?

At this moment, everyone sitting in this meeting room is feeling like this.

Hearing Alice's remarks, almost everyone felt a sense of ecstasy: "Yes, network data must be transmitted through a protocol, so just make a special security protocol!?"

It's a very simple question, but if Alice doesn't say it, they can't figure it out even if they think about it.

"Very good, very good, really good!"

The first exclamation, and then the first applause, led by Dominique Fryer, the current director of the National Security Agency and the Cisco Unlimited department who initiated the Prism Gate, immediately burst into continuous applause in the conference room.

He laughed and said, "Vice President Bush really didn't recommend you in vain. The network security problem that has plagued us for several days was actually solved by your words!"

Alice smiled very modestly: "Where, I'm just more professional. After all, I'm also the one who built Cisco. I have a specialization in technology."

Reagan smiled and said, "Then, regarding the production of this network security protocol, leave it to your Cisco company. Also, did you name it 'firewall'?"

"Hmm~ That's the name? It's very vivid, right? To prevent the computer building from being burned by the flames from the Internet... What the hell~?"

"Speaking of which, IBM's courage is too great."

The conversation suddenly changed, and Reagan's face became even darker: "How dare you invade the Nasdaq exchange and maliciously modify the call auction for new shares when they go public, and it really succeeded. If they and the exchange didn't buy your The product, let you notice something from the order record... It is estimated that no one will find out about this in many years, right?"

Alice's eyeballs moved, and she wisely chose to shut up.

I just heard FBI Director Webster say: "But until now, IBM still hasn't given an explanation to the public, only saying that they are still looking for the perpetrator. Huh, I want to leave the relationship completely and throw it at an innocent ordinary employee As if I don’t know what those executives are planning?”

Alice's eyeballs moved again, but she still kept her mouth shut.

"it does not matter."

Reagan said flatly: "Even if they really use any method to get an ordinary employee to come out and plead guilty, it will only allow the group of executives to avoid criminal punishment. IBM itself will inevitably have to pay a huge fine to the government, and ...Hmph, how far has their stock price fallen now?"

For the next ten minutes, Alice continued to play soy sauce in silence, simply listening to these bigwigs talking about IBM's future.

The current situation is already obvious. IBM, which accidentally killed itself, suffered more than just a small fine. Doing something like hacking the stock exchange and maliciously modifying stock market data will first bring about extreme distrust from the whole society, and at the same time offend the listed companies in the entire country. Once this big hat is buttoned down, it will be a long time to take it off again!

But the status of Big Blue can be placed here. It is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company. Since its establishment in 1925, it has first been a commercial typewriter, then a word processor, and then a computer and related services. It has contributed too much to the development of the entire United States over the past few decades.

The sudden occurrence of such a problem in such a company, while a strong crisis of trust erupted, undoubtedly left a huge mess for the government|government.

When a giant falls, there will be thousands of giants standing up.

So, when the lessons learned from the past are here, when this giant created the first Internet crime, and it was such a crime that was astonishing when it came up...does the next giant have to take good care of it? ?

Well, since the last giant suffered because of the internet...

After chatting for a while, everyone looked at the girl who had been sitting obediently and well-behaved again.

"Alice."

Reagan smiled and said, "Since you have received a big order for your Cisco, let's make another one."

"Snapped!"

"Crack!"

"Swipe!"

Accompanied by this strange sound effect that seemed to exist, Alice's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, really? That's great!"

There was a burst of laughter, including those Pentagon executives who were purely accompanying, everyone was amused by Alice's childish appearance.

Yes, since the new giant is still a baby, it must be very easy to control.

The crowd must have thought so.

There was an unnoticed sneer at the corner of her mouth, Alice continued to blink and said: "What order, what order? Is there a hundred million? Is there?"

"Haha, the specific amount, of course, needs to be calculated by the Ministry of Finance."

Reagan went on to say: "According to your company's production capacity, this order can be done in steps. First, it is the research and development expenses of firewall-related equipment. You can report the number to me. This is the first priority. Then, all the governments in Washington | For the procurement of routers in the department, I will ask each department to make statistics and report them separately. Third, with New York State, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey as the first sequence, I will recommend that the state governments and municipal governments order Cisco products, it’s up to your luck as to what they will do.”

A super huge order, a sales contract that must exceed 10,000 routers, there is no doubt whether the self-made governments of those states will buy it. Judging from the current market price of routers, this is like a transaction A pie from heaven of more than 20 million US dollars!

"OH, MY, GOD."

So it's no wonder that Alice opened her mouth indistinctly. If she had guessed that the White House would give her some sweetness, this piece of pie really seemed to choke to death.

"My company's net profit last year was only 28 million...Everyone, do you need such a large sum?"

"Since a myth has been created, let's continue~"

The director of the CIA said with a smile, the director of the NSA looked at Alice with eyes like seeing gold, and the director of the FBI also looked at her with deep eyes.

IBM's great sacrifice of self-sacrifice opened a door to a new world for the leaders of the spy agencies. And Alice, the little boss of Cisco Systems, sitting in front of them was more like a shining golden statue, which made them unable to help showing their greedy eyes.

Reagan said: "Then, Alice, calculate the research and development costs of the firewall. In addition, if you have any needs, just tell us in one breath, and we will satisfy you."

Alice swallowed.

If you don't swallow, your saliva will flow out.

"The R\u0026D cost...it's not too high, 30 million US dollars should be enough."

Seeing Reagan nodding easily as if flipping out a dollar, Alice immediately followed up.

"Also, in addition to routers, I just developed something called a switch here, are you interested in hearing about it?"
