HNS 2026 | Huawei Releases AIFW Technical White Paper for Asia-Pacific, Providing Strategic Blueprint for Corporate Security Architecture in the AI Era

[Bali, Indonesia, August 13, 2026] During the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) in Asia-Pacific, Huawei officially released the Huawei AIFW Technical White Paper (the White Paper) for the region. The White Paper clearly outlines the technical evolution and industrial development path of AI-powered Firewalls (AIFW). It provides a comprehensive technical framework and practical blueprint for enterprises aiming to build robust AI security defense systems.

The launch event was attended by Slamet Aji Pamungkas, Deputy for Cybersecurity and Crypto Economy at the National Cyber and Crypto Agency of Indonesia (BSSN); Wang Yidong, Director of Asia Pacific ICT Marketing & Solution Sales Dept, Huawei; and Richard Wu, President of the Security Product Domain of Data Communication Product Line, Huawei.

The rapid advancement of AI technology is transforming network threats. Attacks have evolved from human-driven efforts into automated, intelligent, and large-scale operations. Traditional firewalls rely on rule configurations and static detection. These older systems struggle to handle new challenges like unknown threats, dynamic workflows, and an overwhelming surge in security policies. Against this backdrop, the AIFW has emerged.

According to the White Paper, AIFW is built upon core principles including reliability and trustworthiness, high-performance protection, intelligent detection, real-time defense, and autonomous operations. The framework supports advanced capabilities such as full-domain awareness, semantic understanding, AI inference, and intent recognition to provide enterprises with a trustworthy platform for AI security.

Regarding intelligent detection, the White Paper systematically details key technologies such as inline phishing detection, Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) malicious domain detection, malware defense, encrypted traffic inspection, malicious Command and Control (C&C) traffic detection, and prompt injection defense. These technologies enable real-time detection and precise blocking of both traditional network threats and AI-related security risks.

Regarding security operations, the White Paper introduces an AI security assistant and autonomously create policies based on service intent. By using a unified security semantic graph, graph intelligence, and service intent understanding, the system can automatically generate, continuously optimize, and intelligently maintain security policies, moving security operations from manual management to autonomous operations.

Regarding practical application, the White Paper outlines typical scenarios such as AI agents at workplaces, corporate AI agent development, SASE for secure Internet access at branches, and security operations center (SOC). It systematically showcases the real-world deployment of AIFW across production AI, AI application development, cloud-edge collaborative access, and intelligent security operations to help enterprises achieve full-lifecycle security protection.

Looking ahead, as agentic AI infrastructure continues to evolve, Huawei will drive the transition of AIFWs into central hubs for security intelligence. This evolution will help enterprises build a next-generation network security framework that is more intelligent, efficient, autonomous, and trustworthy.
