1. Confidentiality is an important work to safeguard national security and interests.
The importance of secrecy is determined by the importance of state secrets. State secrets are directly related to national security and interests. State secret is the information expression form of national security and interests, an important strategic resource of the country and a special form of national property. Once the state secrets are leaked, it will directly endanger the political security, economic security, scientific and technological security, cultural security and the interests of the broad masses of the people. Therefore, only by strengthening the protection of state secrets can we effectively safeguard national security and interests.
2. Confidentiality is an important task to embody and guarantee the national capacity.
Keeping state secrets is a kind of state behavior and a kind of state responsibility. In the information age, information has become an important resource of a country, information sovereignty has become an important content of national sovereignty, information security has become the premise of national security, and information capability has become an important embodiment and guarantee of national capabilities. Judging from the fields and means involved in secrecy work, the ability to keep state secrets directly reflects the country's security and winning ability in military struggle, and also directly reflects the country's comprehensive competitiveness and management ability in the information society.
3. The secrecy work has always been an important work of the Party and the country.
No matter in the revolutionary war years or in the period of peaceful construction, secrecy plays an extremely important role, especially in the new historical period, which is a powerful guarantee for the smooth progress of reform, opening up and socialist construction. Many important instructions have been given to the secrecy work under the new situation, requiring strengthening secrecy education, perfecting relevant systems, strengthening technical measures, implementing the responsibility system for secrecy, and curbing leaks, which has pointed out the direction for doing a good job in secrecy work under the new situation.
Background and situation of confidentiality:
Importance of scientific research information secrecy Strengthening the management of confidential scientific research is an inevitable requirement for implementing China's national security strategy and a special need for realizing China's economic and social development.
With the gradual deepening of China's scientific and technological system reform and the continuous acceleration of national innovation system construction, the field of classified scientific research projects has been further expanded, and the number of classified scientific research achievements has been increasing. Confidential scientific research projects and their achievements have become important strategic resources of the country, which need to be protected from the height of implementing the national security strategy.
With the remarkable improvement of China's scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength, the value of China's scientific and technological information is getting higher and higher. Overseas intelligence agencies keep a close eye on China's classified scientific research field at all times, and use various forms and means to collect and steal information about China's classified scientific research projects, especially the progress and achievements of national defense military and high-tech projects, which seriously threaten China's national security and interests.
