Doha, Qatar: Global tech giant Huawei recently used its role as Lead Strategic Partner of GISEC Global 2025 to deliver a simple yet powerful message: next-generation cyber-resilience can only be won by “playing as a team” and by embedding artificial intelligence safeguards into every layer of defence.

At the Dubai World Trade Centre, the company unveiled its AI-Native Security portfolio, headlined by Huawei Cloud’s AI Pangu security models, which combine broad threat understanding with specialized capabilities, automating 99% of threat responses while significantly reducing detection time.

That, along with SecMaster - a unified security-operations platform - is part of Huawei’s “one-centre, seven-layer” architecture, delivering unmatched detection accuracy and outstanding reduction in the time needed to trace an attack’s source. The AI engine is already trained on trillions of telemetry points harvested from three decades of real-world attacks.

While addressing the regional significance of cybersecurity collaboration, Sultan Mahmood Malik, Huawei’s Chief Security Officer for Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, highlighted that implementing next-level security measures to combat the growing number of cyber threats is essential.  

“From what we have seen in the last few years and especially after AI became very prolific, we can see the cyber threats have become very complicated and very multidimensional,” Malik told The Peninsula on the sidelines of the prestigious event, which brought together over 25,000 cybersecurity professionals from 160 countries.
