GB/T 37027-2025 is the English-translated version of 网络安全技术 网络攻击和网络攻击事件判定准则.
GB/T 37027-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering telling one cyber attack from the next and an attack from an incident — the information elements that describe each, the criteria that decide when observed activity counts as an attack and when it has caused enough loss to be an incident, the typical target types and attack processes given for reference, and the counting rules, without which two organisations reporting the same month of traffic arrive at different numbers. Issued on 28 February 2025, it has been in force since 1 September 2025, replacing GB/T 37027-2018.

Introduction
In recent years, with the popularization and rapid development of network applications, the methods and forms of network attacks have become more complex and varied, causing great challenges to network security. Serious threat.
The determination of cyber attacks and cyber attack incidents involves many factors, including. the difference between cyber attacks and cyber attack incidents;
Definition and classification of cyber attacks and network attacks; roles, processes, key technologies, and consequence assessments involved in cyber attacks and network attacks;
With the increasing number of cyber attacks and cyber attack incidents, Currently, there is no unified method for determining and counting network attacks and network attack incidents among various organizations, which leads to the fact that the methods used by various organizations to determine and count network attacks are inconsistent.
There are large differences in the network attack situation, making it difficult to effectively share and accurately perceive the network attack situation. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of network attacks and network attack events.
More accurate definitions and descriptions, unified classification, judgment and statistical criteria are given to lay a solid foundation for resisting network attacks and improve the network attack situation The perception effect can enhance network security protection capabilities. Cybersecurity Technology Criteria for determining cyber attacks and cyber attack incidents
1 Scope
