One day in 2015, he chatted with several friends after work as usual and they discussed about the threat intelligence idea, which enlightened him to start an enterprise focusing only on the Cyber security -- through big data. The next day, he decided to resign and opened his own company.
Amazon is an internationally electronic business company with various innovation ideas and active corporate culture, but Xue gave it up and returned China to run his own business.
He said "I would devote to the internet security work with great passion because I really love this area. In addition, the Cyber security is developing in a rapid speed, which is twice as fast as IT industry. This could be a wise stake."

Although many innovation enterprises are struggling to stand out in the strong innovation atmosphere in Beijing, the ThreatBook acts pretty calm.
Xue said their aim is not to achieve really big goal like signing agreement with leading corporations or receiving capital funds. He put solving clients' problem in the first.
He added "If a company cannot solve problems for the clients, then it is useless."
ThreatBook concentrates on the information security, a general problem every company has, which means it can cooperate well with other startups in Microsoft Accelerator.
It is still not time to compete with any other companies as the internet security is still in its initial stage.
Instead, Xue said the cooperation between newly founded enterprises are easy to realize and continue because they occupy in different aspects and focus on various themes. They can complement with each other and achieve a win-win situation.

So far, the company has signed cooperation agreement with more than 30 international companies, through which they realize data sharing.
