Managing neoliberal labour relations: the role of cyber security

网络安全系统旨在保护网络和数据免受泄漏和破坏。通过关注使用大量数据来预测未来网络威胁的实践，我将证明网络安全是资本主义下技术运行的复杂过程的一部分，我将提出，网络安全满足了资本在技术生产和消费之间建立分工的需要。这种划分掩盖了用户生成数据的持续商品化，并强化了价值提取形式日益复杂的趋势。为了解构网络安全与积累制度之间的关系，我将调查支撑信息和通信技术（ICT）的劳动关系。我将重点讨论中国和美国的数字供应链，因为两国之间的关系导致了技术的大规模生产和互联网的日益普及。虽然最初中国是世界工厂，但如今中国占全球ICT消费的很大一部分，中国的科技公司与美国竞争主导数据市场。我将比较和联系他们的数字供应链和劳动力市场状况，并评估网络安全治理在每个国家的作用。

Cyber security systems are designed to protect networks and data from leaks and breaches. By focusing on the practice of using bulk data to predict future online threats I will demonstrate that cyber security is part of the entangled processes by which technologies operate under capitalism.I will propose that cyber security fulfils capital's need to establish a division between the production and consumption of technology. This division conceals the ongoing commodification of user generated data, and reinforces the tendency towards ever-more complex forms of value extraction.In order to deconstruct the relation between cyber security and regimes of accumulation, I will investigate the labour relations underpinning information and communication technologies (ICT). I will focus on the digital supply chains of China and the US as relations between the two have led to the mass production of technology and the rising popular use of the Internet. While initially the workshop of the world, China today accounts for a large proportion of the global consumption of ICT, and the country's tech companies compete with the US to dominate the data market. I will compare and relate their digital supply chains and labour market conditions, and assess the role of cyber security governance in each country.
