HNS 2026 | Huawei Xinghe AI Network Security Fights AI with AI and for AI to Build Next-Generation End-to-End Security Architecture

[Johannesburg, South Africa, July 23, 2026] The Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) South Africa leg was successfully held. Huawei launched its latest products and solutions for Africa, focusing on two major strategic directions: AI For Security and Security For AI. Guided by the core philosophy of fighting AI with AI, and protecting AI with AI, Huawei is building a next-generation, end-to-end security defense system to establish a rock-solid security foundation for Africa's digital and intelligent transformation.

The widespread deployment of generative AI and intelligent agents is reshaping global digital economy and cybersecurity landscape. AI-driven attacks have surged 89% year-on-year. They exhibit distinct characteristics: automated attacks, diversified methods, and hidden threats. Meanwhile, 90% of AI systems have varying degrees of security defects. This makes risks continuously prominent. Facing these challenges in the AI era, Huawei continuously enhances its Xinghe AI Network Security capabilities across two dimensions: AI-powered security defense and AI-protected agent security.

AI For Security: Newly Launched High-Performance AI Firewalls

Huawei launched seven high-performance desktop AI firewalls in the HiSecEngine USG6500G series. The products feature a self-developed AI Core intelligent engine and an inline detection model. They achieve millisecond-level online inference. The unknown threat detection rate reaches 95%. This enables precise identification and blocking of network attacks. Encrypted traffic surges create detection blind spots. To address this, the devices integrate a hardware decryption acceleration engine and a dedicated SSL acceleration engine. Compared to industry peers, threat protection and SSL decryption performance double. This ensures stable, volumetric connections like video conferencing for branches and campus headquarters while sustaining continuous security detection capabilities.

Security For AI: Xinghe AI Three-Layer Security Fence Solution

Huawei introduced the Xinghe AI Three-Layer Security Fence Solution. It builds a defense-in-depth architecture across the entire lifecycle of AI services. The network fence is equipped with professional AI cryptomining detection algorithms, achieving a 95% malicious mining traffic detection rate; the agent fence defends against prompt injection attacks to guard large language model content security, and the host fence monitors anomalous processes and malicious operations in real time using the kernel-level eBPF anomaly detection technology.

The three fences work together. They achieve zero service interruption, zero data leakage, and zero unauthorized behavior. This safeguards large-scale deployment of enterprise AI applications.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue innovation in AI security technologies. It will join hands with customers and partners to build a next-generation secure, intelligent network. This will consolidate the security foundation of the intelligent world and fully unleash the development potential in the AI era.
