HUAWEI CLOUD: Building a Global Cyber Security and Cloud Security Protection System

With the continuous evolution and development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), cyber security will face increasingly serious threats and challenges. Cyber security has become a multi-dimensional global challenge.

Cyber security risks mainly include the following:

1. The cyber security scale is growing rapidly, global laws and regulations are being strengthened, and more than 150 countries are implementing cyber security protection based on security legislation.
2. Enterprises’ digital transformation faces challenges such as compliance, data leakage, operations security, many existing compliance requirements, high security responsibilities, high penalties, data abuse, high risk of data leakage, and difficulties in continuous secure operations.
3. External attacks are numerous and difficult to prevent, and supply chain security vulnerabilities/poisoning cannot be prevented. The enterprise protection system is incomplete, resulting in tight attack response time, low automatic response rate, and long manual response time.

Cloud services have the following advantages in terms of cyber security:

1. Compliance qualification and certification: Cloud service providers usually have rich compliance qualifications and certifications. Their security processes and mechanisms are recognized by authoritative organizations globally , and can provide security services that comply with international standards and regulations for enterprises.
2. Cost-effectiveness: For many organizations, investing in cloud security is more cost-effective than building and maintaining their own security infrastructure, especially when considering the economies of scale and expertise of cloud service providers.
3. Unified security management: The cloud-native security service software-based security hardware devices such as hardware firewalls, switches, and routers and system peripheral protection, implementing unified management of security resources. This means that enterprises can configure and monitor security policies through the centralized management platform provided by cloud service providers, improving management efficiency and consistency.
4. Global coverage: Cloud service providers have multiple data centers and cloud service nodes around the world, providing stable network security protection for global users while optimizing network latency and cross-border connection performance.

As a leading provider of ICT solutions worldwide, Huawei fully understands the importance of cybersecurity and cloud security, which are emphasized by governments and customers worldwide. 

The cloud era is accompanied by an endless variety of new security challenges, pervasive threats, and persistent attacks1. Huawei is increasingly cognizant of these security concerns and prioritizes — through heavy investment — technological competency, regulatory compliance, and ecosystem growth in cybersecurity and cloud security. Furthermore, we have adopted practical and effective measures to continue accelerating our R&D in cloud security technologies and services, not only raising the security posture of our cloud products and services, but also improving our cloud security compliance and ecosystem. We are committed to establishing mutual trust with stakeholders and helping our cloud customers mitigate their cloud security risks. Huawei asserts that the establishment of an open, cooperative framework for cloud security solutions featuring visualization is instrumental to sustainable progress across the entire cloud service industry, and it is especially crucial to the promotion of cloud technology innovation. 

Embracing a security-first corporate culture, HUAWEI CLOUD continues to leverage company-level security competencies and make headway in cloud security through practical measures and steadfast efforts. Cloud security at Huawei dates back to the establishment of Huawei Security Test Lab in 2000. Since then, Huawei has spared no effort in strengthening its security capabilities, striving to enhance the R&D and O&M of its cloud services and cloud security services every step of the way, and eventually bearing fruit in the form of Huawei Cloud’s full-stack multi-layered security control environment。 

Cyber security and privacy protection are the cornerstones for the development of the digital intelligence world. Based on this concept, HUAWEI CLOUD is committed to firmly building capabilities for cybersecurity and privacy protection into our products and services, creating competitiveness from the inside out, and complying with applicable laws and regulations on cybersecurity and privacy protection. We are dedicated to providing customers with secure, reliable, and high-quality products, solutions, and services, helping them achieve network resilience, mitigate cybersecurity risks, and protect user privacy. 

HUAWEI CLOUD complies with the security laws and regulations of all applicable countries and regions, international cyber security and cloud security standards, and references industry best practices. Based on this, Huawei Cloud builds and manages a comprehensive, reliable, and sustainable security assurance system. HUAWEI CLOUD will work with governments, customers, and industry partners to address cloud security challenges in an open and cooperative manner and fully meet the security requirements of cloud service users.
