The serious scale of the threat posed by ransomware attacks in the UK, Europe and globally was bought into sharp focus by the UK House of Commons/House of Lords Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy in its December 2023 report, A hostage to fortune: ransomware and UK national security.
Huawei aims to do just that, having unveiled its new HiSec SASE Solution - designed to deliver cloud-network-edge-endpoint integrated intelligent protection and provide consistent security assurance for both enterprise headquarters and branch offices - at last month's Mobile World Congress in Spain.
Leon Wang, president of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, described how the HiSec SASE Solution branch network security solution is applicable to a wide range of scenarios such as remote office, multi-branch networking, and endpoint security protection, and is ideal for safeguarding the digital-intelligent transformation of industries such as government, finance, and large enterprise.
Wang pointed to the HiSec SASE solution's 'second-level, rapid' threat handling, detection performance and ransomware prevention capabilities as evidence these security defences can be consistently delivered at the branch office level.
"Huawei's endpoint security system, leveraging cloud-edge-endpoint collaboration, achieves 100 per cent detection of ransomware attack and one-click file recovery from ransomware," the company stated in its press release.
With the built-in Adaptive Security Engine and on-demand loading of software packages - including enhanced DDoS mitigation and cryptojacking prevention - the platforms' security capabilities can be flexibly orchestrated and loaded on demand to simplify the deployment of effective branch security.
