Hu Jiawen IV rubbed his eyebrows at the data stream beating on the computer screen. The cold air from the central air conditioner in the office brushed the back of his neck, but could not disperse the thin sweat on his temples. On the three-screen monitor in front of her, on the left is the digital identity authority matrix diagram of the senior management of "Xinghuan Technology". The densely packed authority nodes are marked with risk levels in different colors; in the middle is the encrypted email that just popped up. The sender is the exclusive email of General Manager Lu Zeqian, with only two words in the title: "Urgent"; on the right is the real-time updated identity verification log, with a red warning symbol flashing like a heartbeat every thirty seconds - the overseas IP of the R&D director tried to log in to the core database five times in ten minutes, triggering a level three security alert.
"Jiawen, Mr. Lu is waiting for you in the conference room on the 15th floor." The voice of administrative assistant Lin Wei came from the intercom, with a hint of unnoticeable nervousness, "There seems to be a commotion in the R&D department."
Hu Jiawen quickly saved the permissions audit report at hand and typed a series of instructions on the keyboard with his fingertips to temporarily freeze the login permissions of the director of the R&D department. At the same time, he generated an encrypted audit log and sent it to Lu Zeqian's private server. When she stood up, she grabbed her suit jacket from the back of the chair and walked quickly to the elevator. As the secretary to the general manager of Xinghuan Technology's digital identity management consulting team, her job has never been to serve tea or drink water - Lu Zeqian often said that she is the "gatekeeper of the company's digital world". She holds the identity permission keys of nearly a thousand core employees in her hand. She must guard against external hackers and internal "data out of bounds".
