Figure 1 SA and SecMaster

SecMaster integrates Situation Awareness (SA), Intelligent Security Analysis Platform (ISAP), and Security Operations Center (SOC).

• SecMaster is Huawei's next-generation cloud-native security operations center.

  Combined with Huawei Cloud years of experience in security and based on cloud-native security capabilities, SecMaster provides cloud asset management, security posture management, security information and incident management, security orchestration, automatic responses, and other functions, helping you implement integrated and automatic security operations management.

• Situation Awareness (SA) is a security management and situation analysis platform of Huawei Cloud.

  It gives you a comprehensive overview of your global security situation by leveraging the big data analysis technologies, making it easier for you to analyze attack events, threat alarms, and attack sources.

• Intelligent Security Analysis Platform (ISAP) is a data middle-end system for security operations analysis and modeling.

  It supports collection of cloud service security logs, data retrieval, and intelligent modeling and provides professional security analysis capabilities to protect cloud workloads, applications, and data.

• Security Operations Center (SOC) is an operations platform that quickly responds to risky elements, threats, and vulnerabilities during security operation activities on the cloud. It works with the Security Operations, Analytics, and Response (SOAR) system to orchestrate, automate, manage, and control security risks on the cloud.

  SOC provides a workbench entry based on a complete security operations service framework. You can use SOC to centrally manage security assets and policies, orchestrate automated responses, and handle security operations workflows.
