Shared Responsibilities

Shared Responsibilities on Huawei Cloud

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

Figure 1 illustrates the responsibilities shared by Huawei Cloud and users.
  • Huawei Cloud: ensures the security of cloud services and provides secure clouds. Huawei Cloud's security responsibilities include ensuring the security of our IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services, as well as the physical environments of the Huawei Cloud data centers where our IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services operate. 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 compliance of our infrastructure and services.
  • Tenant: uses the cloud securely. Tenants of Huawei Cloud are responsible for the secure and effective management of the internal security as well as the tenant-customized configurations of cloud services, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. This includes but is not limited to operating systems of virtual networks, virtual machine (VM) hosts and guest VMs, virtual firewalls, API Gateway and advanced security services, all types of cloud services, tenant data, identity accounts, and key management.

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.
