Huawei, IEEE, and Industry Pioneers Jointly Release E2E Campus Security Standards for the Education Industry, Advancing Network-Powered Defense and Accelerating Digital Transformation

[Dubai, UAE, October 16, 2025] During GITEX GLOBAL 2025, Huawei, together with IEEE and industry pioneers, released the E2E Campus Security Standards for the Education Industry. This release provides authoritative technical guidance for educational institutions to build secure and intelligent campus networks, marking a new phase of standardization in education network security.

The launch ceremony was attended by Dr. Hussam Al Hamadi, Vice Chair of IEEE UAE; Hamad Odhabi, Vice Chancellor of Abu Dhabi University; Vincent Liu, President of Huawei's Global Enterprise Network Marketing & Solution Sales Department; Shawn Zhao, President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei's Data Communication Product Line; Charles Shen, Vice President of Huawei's Middle East and Central Asia ICT Marketing & Solution Sales Department; and Lars Van der Zande, CTO of Enterprise Network at Huawei's Middle East and Central Asia region.

Releasing the E2E Campus Security Standards for the Education industry

As digital and intelligent transformation ramps up across the education sector, campus networks face increasingly complex challenges that extend beyond digital spaces into deeply integrated physical environments. To address this, Huawei has put forward the concept of "full-scope security." This approach is designed to help networks not only defend against internal access and data transmission risks, but also sense changes in people, assets, and environments, so as to effectively tackle real-world security threats.

The newly released Standards serves as the digital cornerstone for realizing "full-scope security." It defines six foundational components for building campus-wide digital security: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Wi-Fi encryption and scrambling, MACsec link encryption, role-based access control, security policies, and security operations and maintenance (O&M).

Building on this foundation, Huawei's Xinghe AI Campus Full-Scope Security Solution further extends protection from the digital realm into the physical world, standing out with four layers of defense:

• Asset security: Huawei's AI-powered endpoint clustering technology enables 100% identification of endpoint assets. AI-powered traffic feature detection can identify abnormal behavior of an endpoint within 30 seconds and automatically control it, enabling enterprise asset visibility and control.

• Transmission security: Huawei's unique Wi-Fi Shield technology leverages AI-based signal scrambling to eliminate the risk of data leakage at the physical layer. Meanwhile, end-to-end MACsec encryption secures the wired side. Together, these innovations provide multi-dimensional protection for campus data transmission across both wireless and wired networks.

• Spatial security: Huawei's wireless Access Point (AP) leverages Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI)-based intelligent space sensing technology and AI algorithms to detect centimeter-level micro-movements, thereby accurately detecting the occupancy state within a space. This approach protects privacy while detecting spatial anomalies 24/7, ensuring spatial security without blind spots.

• Privacy security: Huawei has unveiled the industry's first spycam-detecting AP, equipped with an AI-powered feature matching algorithm that accurately detects 110 models of hidden cameras across 62 brands. The AP identifies these devices in real time and instantly triggers alerts, providing 24/7 protection for privacy security.

"Security is the cornerstone of digital and intelligent transformation across industries. What we're releasing today is not just a network construction standard—it's a blueprint for achieving full-scope security," said Shawn Zhao, President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei's Data Communication Product Line. "Campus networks must precisely manage digital-world access risks while leveraging sensing capabilities to address physical-world security challenges. Our goal is to build a robust security framework for the education sector, enabling the deep integration of digital and IoT worlds."

Looking to the future, Huawei will continue to innovate—empowering networks with intelligence and strengthening security through connectivity. By continuously expanding the depth and breadth of full-scope security, Huawei is committed to advancing the global education sector to its next stage of intelligent transformation.
