Huawei Firewall Earns Highest "Recommended" Rating in First Public Test by Wuhan Huanghe Laboratory

[Beijing, China, November 20, 2025] Wuhan Huanghe Laboratory (hereinafter "Huanghe Lab") has released the results of its first public security evaluation of firewall products. The findings show that Huawei's USG6725F (V600R024C10SPC100) firewall performed outstandingly in both security functionality and performance testing, successfully passing the public evaluation and receiving the highest "Recommended" security rating. This evaluation aims to help enterprises gain a comprehensive understanding of their products, identify potential security risks and compliance issues, improve the overall quality and performance of network security products, and ensure stable and secure operation in complex and evolving network environments.

As a national network security lab of Wuhan Data Group, Huanghe Lab is dedicated to network security technology R&D, testing services, and industry ecosystem construction. It is an authoritative evaluation organization in China. The public test was conducted in accordance with China's national information security standards such as GB/T 20281-2015: Information security technology - Security technical requirements and testing assessment approaches for firewall, the Network Device Security Grading Technical Requirements issued by the Cyber Security Association of China, and Huanghe Lab's own Public Test Program for Network Security Products NGFW v1.0. The evaluation focused on two major categories: security functionality and vulnerability testing. Security functionality tests covered identity and access management, key management, cryptographic algorithms, and throughput. Vulnerability tests assessed system availability, integrity, confidentiality, and impact on production. Eight mainstream vendors participated in the public test. Under unified test conditions, Huawei firewalls stood out and won the highest security rating. Eight mainstream vendors participated in the public test.

Building a Stronger, More Reliable Security Foundation

With over 20 years of accumulated network security expertise and continuous investment in trustworthiness capabilities, Huawei places customer needs at the core of its firewall development. The company is committed to strengthening firewall resilience, delivering high-quality security products, and ensuring stable network operations, providing a solid security shield for digital transformation across industries.

Technical Innovation: Reinforcing Security with Core Technology

Huawei firewalls continue to push technological boundaries. Equipped with dedicated security acceleration engines, they feature hardware and software collaboration for efficient data protection and transmission. To counter increasingly covert and complex network attacks, Huawei has developed an Emulator malware variant unpacking engine and proprietary AI security algorithms, enabling precise blocking of unknown threats. Moreover, the distributed architecture design supports elastic scalability, with a single device capable of handling up to tens of millions of concurrent connections, easily accommodating enterprise traffic growth.

Trustworthiness Capabilities: Building a Trustworthiness System from the Ground Up

Huawei integrates trustworthiness throughout the entire firewall lifecycle, from R&D and production to delivery, establishing a full-stack trustworthy system covering hardware, firmware, and software. At the hardware level, trusted root technology ensures secure verification during device startup, effectively preventing tampering risks. At the software level, a layered protection architecture hardens the operating system kernel and applications against malicious code insertion.

Huawei will continue to actively participate in industry exchanges and deepen collaboration with institutions such as Wuhan Huanghe Laboratory. Together, they aim to promote the high-quality development of the network security industry and build a stronger, more reliable security foundation for the intelligent digital era.
