Shared Responsibilities

Huawei Cloud guarantees that its commitment to cyber security will never be outweighed by the consideration of commercial interests. To address emerging challenges to cloud security and pervasive cloud security threats and attacks, Huawei Cloud builds a comprehensive security system that is compliant with laws, regulations, and industry standards for cloud services in different regions and industries, by leveraging Huawei's security ecosystem and unique advantages in software and hardware.

Figure 1 illustrates the responsibilities shared by Huawei Cloud and you.

  • Huawei Cloud: ensures the security of cloud services and provides secure clouds. Huawei Cloud's security responsibilities include ensuring the security of its IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services, as well as the physical environments of the Huawei Cloud data centers that power these services. Huawei Cloud is responsible for not only the security functions and performance of our infrastructure, cloud services, and technologies, but also for the overall cloud O&M security and, in the broader sense, the security and compliance of our infrastructure and services.
  • Tenants: Ensure secure use of cloud services. Huawei Cloud's security responsibilities include ensuring the security of its IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services, as well as the physical environments of the Huawei Cloud data centers that power these services.

Huawei Cloud Security White Paper elaborates on the ideas and measures for building Huawei Cloud security, including cloud security strategies, the shared responsibility model, compliance and privacy, security organizations and personnel, infrastructure security, tenant service and security, engineering security, O&M security, and ecosystem security.
