The China Information Technology Security Evaluation Center (Chinese: 中国信息安全测评中心; CNITSEC, SNIT-sec) is the cover identity of the 13th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security, the information technology component of China's civilian spy agency which houses much of its technical cyber expertise.[1] The bureau manages much of the conduct of cyberespionage for the agency, and provides aid to the many advanced persistent threats (APTs) run directly by the agency, by its semi-autonomous provincial State Security Departments (SSD) and municipal State Security Bureaus (SSB), and by contractors.[2][3] In support of provincial state and party leadership, the bureau also runs its own semi-autonomous provincial Information Technology Security Evaluation Centers (ITSEC) in collaboration with provincial counterparts.[4] In the past these ITSECs have been identified collaborating with APTs run by provincial state security units.[4] The bureau also manages the Chinese National Vulnerability Database (CNNVD), where it has been found to selectively suppress or delay public reporting of certain zero-day vulnerabilities.[3]
