Home » Tech Value Chain » Global Brands » Huawei Showcases Cybersecurity Vision at GISEC Global 2025
At GISEC Global, Huawei held a media briefing highlighting its cybersecurity strategy for the digital and intelligent era. The session focused on building a secure, resilient, and trustworthy cyberspace.
Dr. Zhu Shenggao, Vice President of AI at Huawei Cloud Middle East & Central Asia, Richard Wu, President of Security Product Domain, and Yongjian Li, President of Data Protection at Huawei, led the discussion. Colm Murphy from the Huawei European Cybersecurity Center moderated the session.
The theme, 'Establishing a Unified Cybersecurity Foundation to Safeguard the Expanding Digital and Intelligent Landscape,' guided the conversation. It addressed current threats, cloud migration challenges, and the need for built-in security systems.
Huawei emphasized its role as 'Your Reliable Partner in the Digital and Intelligent World.' The company has developed a comprehensive security governance system, drawing on three decades of defending against trillions of cyberattacks. This includes a 'one center, seven defenses' framework powered by real-time updates and large security models.
Colm Murphy shared that Huawei invested USD 24.6 billion in R&D in 2024, amounting to 20.8% of its revenue. Over the past ten years, Huawei has spent USD 171.1 billion on R&D. Today, it employs over 3,000 cybersecurity R&D professionals, dedicating 5% of R&D spending to product security enhancements.
Huawei's approach includes: A multi-layer governance architecture from HQ to regional offices
End-to-end business process integration of security requirements
'Many hands and many eyes' mechanism for improved assurance
In the past five years, Huawei also invested more than USD 2 billion to transform software engineering and secure its full tech stack and ecosystem. Its supply chain security management now monitors upstream and downstream risks, ensuring product trustworthiness.
Dr. Zhu introduced Huawei Cloud's AI-Native Security model. He explained how the Pangu models automate 99% of threat responses and reduce detection times significantly. These AI capabilities are being integrated into all seven layers of Huawei's defense framework.
The SecMaster unified operations center further supports this vision. It delivers: Over 99% threat detection accuracy
83% reduction in mean time to investigate
95% reduction in time to track attack sources
Dr. Zhu said, 'Cybersecurity and privacy protection are the foundation of the digital world. Huawei integrates security across cloud, network, edge, and endpoint environments.'
Richard Wu discussed growing enterprise vulnerabilities due to cloud migration and internet-based traffic. He introduced the Xinghe Intelligent Unified SASE Solution. It features an AI-driven brain that handles 99% of security alarms automatically.
Wu also addressed Huawei's anti-ransomware approach. In 2024, ransomware caused USD 42 billion in losses globally. Huawei's layered solution offers 99.99% detection rates. The HiSec Endpoint product uses AI to back up files when suspicious encryption is detected.
Yongjian Li focused on storage security. He presented a multi-layer protection solution for SAN/NAS environments. It uses decoy files, end-to-end encryption, and automated backup drills to achieve a 99.99% ransomware detection rate.
Li introduced the OceanProtect E8000, a new 3-in-1 system combining backup software, short-term, and long-term storage. It recovers 1TB of data in 20 seconds and offers 2PB/2U capacity, reducing rack space by 90%.
During Q&A, Huawei confirmed its strategic partnership with Jeraisy Group in Saudi Arabia. The speakers also highlighted the Cloud Service Cybersecurity & Compliance Standard (3CS), which aligns with 16+ global standards for better governance and compliance.
As Lead Strategic Partner of GISEC Global 2025, Huawei is showcasing its security innovations at Hall 5, Stand A180.

China's export curbs on rare earth minerals worry Europe
China is flexing its economic muscle in more senses than one. Its decision to restrict exports of the rare minerals and magnets has sent shivers down the spines of global automakers in Germany and in the United States. Rare earth minerals are needed in key sectors like car manufactures, semi-conductor industry, aerospace industry. The Chinese possess half of the global rare earth mineral reserves. The Chinese decision was mainly to counter US President Donald Trump's refusal to export crucial computer chips needed for AI, and the US' refusal to allow imports from Chinese chipmaker Huawei. More importantly, what has angered the Chinese is the refusal of student visas to Chinese students, and the cancellation of the visas of those who are students in American universities. Europe is caught in a crossfire in the trade war between the giants, the US and China. Europeans, as well as Americans, have suddenly realised that it is not such a good thing to depend on China for either rare earth minerals or even manufactured goods including cars. The West is desperately looking to reduce its dependence on China and it is seeking to diversify its supply chain. European Union (EU) Commissioner for Industrial Strategy Stephane Sejourne said, 'We must reduce our dependencies on all countries, particularly on a number of countries like China, on which we are more than 100 per cent dependent.' Meanwhile EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said that he was in touch with his Chinese counterpart and they had agreed to clarify the rare earth minerals situation. Major automakers like Mercedes and BMW are claiming that they have enough inventories and their production schedules will not be affected. But it is clear that shortages are looming on the horizon. The US-China trade talks are quite crucial, even as American President Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, 'I like President Xi of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH.' Trump is blaming China for breaking the deal made in Geneva to roll back the tariffs that each side had imposed on the other, Trump reduced the tariffs from 145 per cent to 30 per cent, and China reduced it from 135 per cent. Mercedes-Benz production chief Jeorg Burzer said he was talking to top suppliers of the company about building 'buffer' stocks anticipating trouble in the future. He said that Mercedes is well stocked for now and production schedules are not affected. But automakers in Europe and America have aired their worries about the curbs on Chinese exports of the rare earth minerals. Many of the captains of industry are lobbying with their governments to solve the deadlock. Wolfgang Weber, CEO of Germany's electrical and digital industry association, ZVEI, said in an emailed statement, 'Companies currently feel abandoned by politicians and are partly looking for solutions to their difficult situation on their own in China.' Trump's declaration of the tariff war against America's trade partners had mostly caused quiet murmurs, and many countries from the EU and other countries like Japan are trying to work out a trade deal without crossing swords with the US. But China was not willing to take Trump's tariffs passively. It is aware that it has power enough to counter American tariffs with tariffs of its own. The Chinese have always been defiant of the Western world, even when they did not have the economic power they now have. There is of course the harsh fact. China needs the Western countries to maintain its economic growth. It is its exports to Western countries that have made it rich and powerful. Europe and US need the cheap labour of China, and China needs the Western markets. They have to strike a deal with each other.

Sterling holds its own against stronger dollar, trade optimism lends supports
Sterling ticked higher against the dollar on Thursday, one of the few major currencies to hold its own against the greenback which regained ground after weak U.S. data dragged it lower on Wednesday. The pound was up 0.14% at $1.3574, while against the euro it was up 0.1% at 84.16 pence. Sterling remains a touch away from a more than three-year high hit on May 26, underpinned by ongoing dollar weakness with the pound up over 8% this year. Also helping is the fact the UK is the only country to have struck a trade deal with the U.S and was spared from higher U.S. steel and aluminium tariffs, though analysts question how beneficial those factors are. "The trade deal does matter," said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG Group. "You might argue it's not a proper trade deal and that it doesn't solve all the problems, but at least it's a sign that there's a more compelling reason to hold the pound rather than be worrying about the euro," Beauchamp added. The Bank of England (BoE) will meet on June 19 to deliver its next policy decision with market bets firmly on the monetary policy committee (MPC) keeping rates steady. There had been expectations of a further 25 bps cut from the BoE at its June meeting but bets were slashed following weak economic data and a hotter-than-expected inflation read last month. On Tuesday, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said he was sticking with a "gradual and careful" approach to cutting interest rates as global trade policy turmoil increasingly clouds the outlook. Reassurance came on Wednesday with a survey showing Britain's services sector returned to tepid growth last month. (Reporting by Lucy Raitano and Johann M Cherian, Editing by Ed Osmond)
