The intelligent era is developing rapidly, and digital boundaries are constantly expanding. We are at a historical moment where network security and intelligent technologies are converging, presenting unprecedented opportunities and challenges.

Empowering security with intelligence has become an inevitable choice for building modern defenses. While AI technology is revolutionizing industries, it also enables cyberattacks to become more intelligent and covert, leaving traditional enterprise defenses under constant pressure. Breaking through these challenges and building intelligent defense systems has become a global priority for enterprises undergoing digital transformation.

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Huawei officially unveiled its brand-new Xinghe AI Unified SASE Solution during the IP Club Open Speech. This solution represents a comprehensive upgrade in both security capabilities and architectural design, establishing a forward-looking, holistic defense framework — a benchmark for network security in the intelligent era.

Breaking Through Network Security Challenges in the Intelligent Era

With cloud adoption, mobile work, and AI development reshaping enterprise security, traditional architectures face three pressing challenges: First, over 85% of enterprises have migrated to the cloud, expanding business boundaries and increasing exposure to threats. Second, remote access has become the norm, making identity and access control more complex and heightening attack risks. Third, malicious use of AI accelerates the evolution of attack methods, making them stealthier and harder to detect with traditional defenses. Against this backdrop, enterprises urgently need solutions that are more secure, efficient, and intelligent.

Xinghe AI Unified SASE Solution: Building an All-Scenario Intelligent Defense System

Cao Tongqiang, Vice President of Huawei's Security Product Domain in the Data Communication Product Line, emphasized: "As AI continues to evolve, integrating intelligence into network security is the optimal path forward. Huawei's three-layer cloud-edge-endpoint architecture upgrades the Xinghe AI Unified SASE Solution, enabling enterprises worldwide to build all-scenario intelligent defense systems with smarter security and more efficient operations."

The solution covers four key scenarios, precisely addressing diverse enterprise needs:

Scenario 1: Zero-Trust Remote Work

Data shows that more than 70% of ransomware attacks are launched through endpoints, making endpoint security a major risk factor. Huawei's HiSec Endpoint integrates NAC, ZTNA, and EDR capabilities, reducing deployment and O&M costs. With zero-trust identity authentication and risk-aware EDR, the solution implements zero-trust secure terminal access. Leveraging posture compliance checks and intelligent dynamic threat analysis, infected endpoints can be isolated within seconds, effectively preventing threats from spreading into the enterprise intranet.

Scenario 2: Secure Internet Access Across Headquarters and Branches

With the widespread adoption of AI technologies, more than 100 million new unknown malware variants emerge globally each year, posing significant detection challenges. Huawei has embedded compute-intensive intelligent security detection models and an emulator-based malware unpacking engine into the HiSecEngine USG6000G firewall, enabling millisecond-level inspection of files, web pages, and traffic directly at the device level. This achieves a 95% detection rate for unknown threats, which is 15% higher than the industry average, greatly enhancing employee Internet security. Meanwhile, the HiSecEngine USG6500G branch firewall integrates the functions of a security gateway, router, and switch, simplifying deployment and operations while reducing CAPEX by 30%.

Scenario 3: Secure Interconnection Between Headquarters and Branches

As enterprises accelerate digitalization and intelligent transformation, service traffic is growing exponentially. Traditional firewalls struggle to meet requirements for high-volume concurrency, encrypted traffic analysis, and defense against unknown threats. In response, Huawei has globally launched the HiSecEngine USG6000G series firewalls, equipped with four dedicated security acceleration engines that deliver hardware-level performance. Among them, the USG6885G achieves 135 Gbps threat protection performance, making it the highest-performing 2U fixed-configuration firewall in the industry. Its threat protection and SSL performance are twice that of comparable products from other vendors, ensuring that critical services remain smooth and uninterrupted even when all security functions are enabled. This meets enterprise demands for secure, high-volume interconnection across headquarters and branches.

Scenario 4: Unified Security Operations at Headquarters

Enterprises often face challenges such as fragmented network and security device management, overwhelming alarm volumes, and low operational efficiency. To address these issues, Huawei has introduced the iMaster NCE-Campus Unified Management Platform, which provides centralized management of endpoints, network devices, and security products. The platform enables multi-dimensional analysis across network devices, hosts, and applications, achieving collaborative threat response in seconds and an automated event handling rate of up to 99%. For the remaining 1% of alarms, the system automatically generates handling recommendations to assist manual intervention, reducing the Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) to just minutes.

In the past, network security protection was often reactive and fragmented—patching vulnerabilities as they appeared, a "fix-as-you-go" approach that struggled to address systemic risks. In today's intelligent era, however, cyberspace has become increasingly interconnected, where a single weak link can trigger widespread consequences. Enterprises now face an inevitable demand for all-scenario, integrated security protection. Huawei Xinghe AI Unified SASE Solution opens new possibilities for global enterprises to safeguard digital transformation in the intelligent era.
