HiSecEngine USG12000 Series AI Firewalls

The HiSecEngine USG12000 series is the industry's first terabit-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) firewall launched by Huawei for mitigating known and unknown threats at the network edge in real-time. It is typically deployed at the egress of cloud computing data centers, large enterprises, and campus networks to provide industry-leading protection capabilities.
An advanced hardware architecture design and an array of energy conservation technologies slash energy consumption, while a full lineup of Line Interface Processing Units (LPUs) — with a per-slot interface density of up to 18 x 100 GE — meets heavy-bandwidth traffic requirements.
The series provides comprehensive, carrier-grade high-reliability architecture, supporting a multitude of reliability mechanisms, such as dual Main Processing Unit (MPU) backup, Hot Standby (HSB), Non-Stop Routing (NSR), and Graceful Restart (GR). A hardware-based software integrity check mechanism prevents unauthorized software from running, ultimately building a secure foundation for the network.
With terabit-level service processing power and a suite of security features — covering Network Address Translation (NAT), Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN), Virtual Private Network (VPN), virtualization, and content security — HiSecEngine USG12000 equips enterprises to handle the heavy bandwidth traffic and diverse service threats of the intelligent era.

Three Reasons for Choosing Huawei Firewalls

Exceptional Performance

• Adaptive Security Engine (ASE): Dynamically allocates resources across service modules to maximize resource utilization and enhance overall performance.
• NP, pattern matching, and encryption/decryption co-processing engines: Improve small-packet forwarding performance, reduce forwarding latency, and enhance capabilities in application identification, intrusion detection, and services such as IPsec.

Simplified O&M

• Unified O&M: A centralized controller enables unified policy orchestration and automated alarm correlation analysis. Combined with cloud-network-edge coordination, it enables threat response within seconds.
• Simplified O&M: A newly defined security interface with threat visualization presents key information, such as device status, alarms, traffic, and threat events in an intuitive way, simplifying O&M.
