Navigating Cybersecurity in the Intelligent Era

[Baku, Azerbaijan, May 14, 2024]The intelligent era, characterized by the convergence of AI, cloud computing, and IoT, has revolutionized how we live and work. However, this technological advancement also presents new cybersecurity challenges. As networks become increasingly complex and interconnected, the attack surface expands, demanding a more robust and adaptable approach to security. Traditional security measures, often reliant on static rules and manual intervention, are proving inadequate against the dynamic and sophisticated threats of the modern digital landscape.

Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution embodies this paradigm shift. By integrating network and security capabilities into a unified platform, Xinghe streamlines enterprise branch deployment and operations while enhancing overall security. This holistic approach leverages AI-powered analysis, detection, and handling, enabling enterprises to establish a comprehensive, efficient, intelligent network security protection system for their global branches.

Huawei Experts From Middle East And Central Asia Jointly Released The Xinghe Intelligent SASE Experience Plan

Unveiled during the Middle East and Central Asia stop of Huawei Network Summit 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan, Xinghe Intelligent SASE solution demonstrates Huawei's dedication to advancing cybersecurity intelligence and supporting industries in their accelerated journey into the intelligence era.

Speaking at the event, Adrian Chirita, Principal Network Security and AI Research Expert, Huawei European Research Center, observed that "Huawei Xinghe Intelligent SASE Solution has leading intelligent defense capabilities spanning the cloud, network, edge, and endpoint, providing a future-proof intelligent network-security convergence solution for enterprise branches through intelligent analysis, detection, and handling."

On the cloud, Huawei's Qiankun security analysis platform employs more than 8,000 inference rules to automatically handle 99% of security events across the entire network within seconds. Additionally, 25 security detection models are trained through AI, enabling automatic correlation analysis of security events based on massive volumes of security alarms. Handling policies are automatically delivered and matched, facilitating rapid closed-loop handling of security events within seconds and automatic branch maintenance without dedicated personnel, ultimately improving operational efficiency by 100 times.

On the network front, the HiSec SASE Solution supports ultra-large networking of 16 hubs and networking of up to 20,000 enterprise branches, catering to the multi-site, multi-data center requirements of large enterprises with multiple branches. Huawei's exclusive dynamic tunneling technology, Ethernet VPN (EVPN), automatically sets up tunnels in real-time, ensuring key service experience even with a packet loss rate of 30%, guaranteeing optimal experience of enterprise branch service networks.

At the edge, the HiSec SASE security gateway boasts four dedicated built-in AI security engines, achieving a threat detection rate of up to 99.9%. The HiSec SASE security gateway also integrates a host of network and security capabilities, such as firewall, switching, and routing capabilities. The solution stands out with network-security convergence, making it ideal for building a simplified network architecture for enterprises, helping to simplify enterprise branch deployment and O&M, and reducing OPEX by 30%.

On the endpoint side, Huawei's latest HiSec Endpoint intelligent endpoint security system, derived from the HarmonyOS technology kernel, offers advanced, intelligent, and efficient protection. HiSec Endpoint utilizes the industry's first threat source tracing graph engine to identify and accurately detect 100% of ransomware. Its ransomware detection rollback technology enables one-click automatic recovery, precisely protecting enterprise endpoint data security.

AI: The Driving Force in Modern Cybersecurity

AI has become an indispensable tool in the cybersecurity arsenal. Its ability to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and automate responses is crucial in the face of ever-evolving threats. AI-powered systems can detect anomalies, predict potential attacks, and adapt to new threat vectors in real-time, significantly outpacing traditional rule-based approaches.

Furthermore, AI can automate repetitive security tasks, freeing up human analysts to focus on more complex threats and strategic decision-making. This automation not only improves efficiency but also reduces the potential for human error. Additionally, AI can continuously learn and adapt, enhancing its threat detection and response capabilities over time.
