Combatting Incidents, Enhancing Security

Huawei Cloud has built a full-stack, cloud-native, defense-in-depth security system that leverages global synergy to protect the Huawei Cloud platform, services, and customer workloads from emerging security challenges. With its three security operation centers (SOCs) around the world, Huawei Cloud can defend against massive attacks with ease, with over 70% of security incidents cleared in one minute and over 99% of incidents cleared in five minutes.

Huawei Cloud launched the SecMaster at GISEC Global 2024, which leverages a full-stack cloud native security system based on a single security operations center (SOC) and seven layers of defense. The SecMaster works with other services to protect workloads at identity, network, application, server, data, and O&M layers.

Technologies like AI, networks, and cloud are pushing the boundaries of business design, boosting productivity, and redefining business models. Industries are plotting new roadmaps and forging ahead with greater speed. As digital transformation picks up speed, cybersecurity and privacy protection will become key to business success in the future digital world.

At GISEC, Huawei demonstrated the class-leading capabilities of its HiSec SASE solution for multi-branch enterprises, providing all-round protection at the cloud, network, edge, and endpoint levels; along with the HiSec Endpoint EDR for efficient threat detection, one-click recovery, and lightweight deployment.
