Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technology has unveiled two new AI tools—Tulongfeng and Yitianzhen—designed to automate cyber defense operations. The company positions Tulongfeng as a domestic alternative to Anthropic's Claude.

360 Security Technology (601360.SS) developed the tools as part of efforts to build homegrown AI capabilities for cybersecurity. Tulongfeng is positioned as "China's version of Mythos," marking the company's push to create domestic alternatives to Western AI models. Yitianzhen focuses specifically on automating cyber defense processes, addressing a key challenge in the security industry where skilled personnel shortages constrain response capabilities. The launch reflects broader trends in China's technology sector, where companies increasingly develop local alternatives to foreign AI systems. This strategy addresses both technological sovereignty concerns and regulatory preferences for domestic solutions. 360 Security Technology is one of China's largest cybersecurity firms. The new tools represent the company's expansion into AI-driven security automation as enterprises globally seek to bolster defenses against evolving cyber threats.
