On September 20th, the Huawei Connect Conference Star River AI Network Security Forum came to a successful conclusion. This forum focuses on innovative solutions for AI network security, focusing on how to build an end-to-end intelligent security protection system.

In his speech, Liu Chao first shared how Guanglian has been cooperating with Huawei in the SD-WAN field since 2017, and has since expanded to the entire park's product and network security product fields. At the beginning of this year, Guanglian signed a strategic cooperation framework with Huawei Data Communications Security, marking its comprehensive transformation into a SASE service provider and becoming a capability oriented MSP partner in Huawei's SASE ecosystem.

Subsequently, Liu Chao elaborated on the necessity of network security integration from three aspects: increasing network exposure, increasingly severe network security situation, and the construction of network and security separation. He also discussed how software defined technology has developed step by step, from managing branch networks to expanding to park networks, and now to network security management. The development of technology and changes in the environment have led to constantly evolving customer needs. Huawei has launched the Qiankun platform in response to customer demands, with iMasterNCE controllers managing network and security. Guanglian has built the NSOC network security integration operation center based on Qiankun, providing customers with a more complete SASE service solution in a light asset and fully managed manner.

Next, Liu Chao further introduced the six key components of the Guanglian SASE service solution, which are:

Through SD-WAN backbone network, Guanglian can provide customers with a more cost-effective global networking solution. Ensure high network availability while reducing overall network construction and operation costs;

Based on the Huawei iMasterNCE controller, LightLink has achieved unified orchestration and linked processing of network and security, greatly improving overall operational efficiency and achieving rapid response and closed-loop disposal of threat events;

At the branch network boundary, Huawei's Secure SD-WAN equipment is used, which not only efficiently meets networking requirements, but also provides strong boundary security protection capabilities, saving overall equipment investment and reducing possible failure points, further improving network stability and security;

Terminal security protection consists of Huawei EDR (Terminal Detection and Response) and zero trust products, which are collectively named F-Link product line by LightLink. This product portfolio ensures secure and convenient network access in mobile office scenarios, while providing effective security protection for terminals and offering a comprehensive terminal security solution;

The PoP point of Guanglian has deployed a zero trust security gateway, enabling customers to securely access the network anytime, anywhere. These gateways not only provide dynamic verification of user identity and access behavior, but also achieve backend application stealth protection, greatly reducing the exposed surface of the network and improving the overall network security of customers;

Based on the northbound API of Huawei Qiankun controller, Guanglian has achieved seamless integration with its own monitoring system and work order system, enabling timely detection, localization, and resolution of network failures, providing 24/7 comprehensive protection for customers' network security operations.

Finally, Liu Chao stated that as a capability oriented MSP partner, Guanglian continuously improves its service capabilities in three aspects: resource service capabilities, technical service capabilities, and network security integration operation and maintenance service capabilities. The resource service capability is mainly reflected in the backbone network consisting of 208 nodes spread all over the world, as well as the ability to apply for and open last mile line resource agents for customers; The technical service capability is reflected in the fact that Guanglian has served numerous top clients in the domestic and international industries, and has very professional planning and implementation delivery capabilities in the overall network security solution planning, testing, and implementation of clients; The third is the ability to integrate network security operation services. Guanglian has value-added telecommunications licenses and relevant network security operation qualifications, as well as professional service qualification certifications such as ISO20000, ISO27001, ISO9001, and TL9000.
