Hillstone

Founded in 2007 by veterans from NetScreen, Hillstone Networks has established itself as a leading innovator in cybersecurity. Recognized as a Visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls, the company has consistently evolved its solutions to address the rapidly changing threat landscape. Hillstone introduced the industry’s first AI-driven firewall in 2014 and has since extended these advanced capabilities into newer platforms such as NDR and XDR. Its patented security architecture—including one of the earliest multicore firewalls, a fully distributed firewall design, and a twin-mode firewall for redundant data centers—has solidified Hillstone’s reputation as a trusted partner and industry leader.

In 2021, Hillstone officially launched its security chip strategy, advancing into the research and development of ASIC-based dedicated security chips by 2023. This initiative aims to provide users with more efficient and robust cybersecurity protection through independent innovation.

Guided by the “Sustainable Security 3.0” philosophy, Hillstone centers its efforts on security services, supported by four technological cornerstones: secure connectivity, secure computing, secure data, and secure operations. This framework enables the delivery of comprehensive products, services, and solutions to customers worldwide.

Hillstone operates research and development centers in Beijing, Suzhou, Silicon Valley, and Hong Kong. The company has been certified as a National High-Tech Enterprise multiple times—in 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022. Over the past three years, nearly 41% of its resources have been allocated to R&D, resulting in 30 proprietary core technologies and over 560 patents filed globally.

Hillstone offers a portfolio across ten major categories: infrastructure security, cloud security, data security, application security, security operations, industrial internet security, information technology application innovation, AI security, security services, and security education. This extensive range allows the company to provide complete solutions for more than 50 industries and specific scenarios.
