What Zhongfu Information does

Zhongfu Information Co., Ltd. is a Jinan-headquartered, publicly listed (Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext, 300659) cybersecurity company founded in 2002 that specializes in confidential information protection, network security, and data security governance for Chinese government agencies, defense organizations, central and state-owned enterprises, financial institutions, and energy operators. The company operates with 1,001-5,000 employees across 32 provinces plus Hong Kong SAR, with 9 regional technical support teams, a 400-customer hotline, and 7x24 support; it serves more than 10,000 enterprise and government customers.

Its product portfolio is organized across four pillars: security protection (endpoint security control, electronic document classification marking, print and recording monitoring, zero trust architecture), monitoring and early warning (Secret Defense Guard, situation awareness platforms, internet confidentiality monitoring), inspection and detection (computer and mobile terminal inspection, storage media elimination, electromagnetic leakage detection), and electromagnetic space security (signal jammers, nonlinear node detectors, wireless signal positioning). In 2026 the company expanded into AI-native security with the Large Model and Intelligent Agent Security Protection Platform, the Secret Defense Guard AI Premium Version, the internally-deployed AI Application and Service Platform, and the Network Traffic Detection System using JA3 fingerprinting and LLM-based semantic parsing.

Zhongfu generates revenue through a mix of one-time security product licenses and bundled solutions, recurring technical support (4-8 hour on-site response, 24/7 remote), and professional services including security consulting, penetration testing, and managed security operations. Direct enterprise sales dominate distribution, supplemented by a long-standing strategic partnership with Huawei (Kunpeng adaptation since 2020, HarmonyOS Enterprise Edition since 2025) and a JD.com e-commerce channel. The company holds 470+ patents and software copyrights, participates in 30+ national and industry standards, and maintains certifications including military C+, MLPS 2.0, and Beijing municipal cybersecurity technical support unit (2025-2027).
