Huawei Highlights Innovative Cloud Storage At GISEC Global 2025

Dubai: Tech giant Huawei used GISEC Global 2025 - the region's largest cybersecurity gathering - to share insights on the latest innovations in cloud storage and safeguarding data privacy against increasing cyber threats.

Speaking at a press conference at the Dubai World Trade Centre, key Huawei officials addressed the critical cybersecurity challenges in the rapidly evolving digital era, under the topic:“Establishing a unified cybersecurity foundation to Safeguard the expanding digital and intelligent landscape.”

Drawing on 30 years and trillions of thwarted attacks, Huawei outlined an end‐to‐end governance model built around a 'one centre, seven‐layer defence' architecture. Vice President of AI Business for Huawei Cloud Middle East & Central Asia, Dr Zhu Shenggao, introduced Huawei Cloud's AI‐Native Security portfolio, Pangu large‐model defence which now automate 99 % of threat responses.

A centerpiece of Huawei's security strategy is its SecMaster unified security operations center, which enables intelligent detection of advanced threats, improving detection accuracy to over 99%, cutting mean time to investigate threats by 83%, and reducing mean time to track attack sources by an impressive 95%. Dr. Zhu noted that Huawei is progressively integrating large model capabilities into all seven layers of its defense framework, enhancing data protection through more accurate and efficient data classification and sensitive data identification. This represents a fully integrated AI approach to the“one center + seven layers of defense” system.

“Cybersecurity and privacy protection are the cornerstones of development in the digital and intelligent world,” emphasised Dr. Zhu.“Our unified approach integrates protection across cloud, network, edge, and endpoint environments to provide the comprehensive security foundation that organizations need to innovate with confidence.”

Shedding lights on their latest innovations in data protection, Yongjian Li, President of Data Protection at Huawei, introduced the all-new OceanProtect E8000. The OceanProtect E8000 features a 3-in-1 converged architecture integrating backup software servers, short-term retention storage, and long-term retention storage into a single system. This innovation delivers 5x faster recovery performance, can restore 1TB of data in just 20 seconds, and offers ultra-dense 2PB/2U capacity that saves up to 90% rack space compared to conventional solutions.

“Organisations today need comprehensive protection and rapid recovery capabilities,” said Li.“With OceanProtect E8000, we're providing both in a single integrated system that dramatically reduces complexity while enhancing security.”

Meanwhile, Huawei Security Product Domain, Data Communication Product Line President Richard Wu noted Huawei's Xinghe Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combines cloud, network, edge, and endpoint safeguards under an AI“security brain” that autonomously resolves 99% of alarms.

Wu said Huawei's multi‐layer solution offers a 99.99% detection rate to tackle ransomware - responsible for an estimated $42bn in losses last year - while its HiSec Endpoint product uses AI monitoring to trigger file backup when detecting suspicious encryption activity.

“Cybersecurity and privacy are the cornerstones of a digital, intelligent world,” Dr Zhu said.

“By unifying protection from cloud to endpoint, we give organisations the confidence to innovate.” Wu added,“Our proactive, AI‐driven foundation helps customers defend critical assets and foster secure growth in an increasingly complex threat landscape,” Dr Zhu added.

As the Lead Strategic Partner of GISEC Global 2025, Huawei displays its cutting-edge security solutions firsthand at Hall 5, Stand A180. GISEC Global 2025 concludes today.
