About Suninfo Information

Hillstone Networks, founded in 2006 by veterans from NetScreen, Cisco, and Juniper, operates as a provider of enterprise network security and risk management solutions. The company's headquarters are located in Santa Clara, California, with a significant presence in China, including a corporate office in Suzhou. Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Timothy Liu, plays a pivotal role in shaping the company's product strategy and technological direction, bringing over three decades of experience from his time at companies like NetScreen and Intel. His background in developing VPN subsystems and his work on risk-based access control have been instrumental in the company's development.

The firm's business revolves around an 'Integrative Cybersecurity' strategy, which consolidates multiple security technologies into a single, centrally managed platform. This approach is designed to offer comprehensive visibility and rapid response to cyber threats for a global clientele that includes over 28,000 customers across more than 60 countries, with a list that features over 100 Fortune 500 companies. Clients span various sectors, including finance, government, education, and service providers. Revenue is generated through the sale of its security products and solutions, which are designed to provide robust protection while aiming for a lower total cost of ownership.

Hillstone's product portfolio addresses a wide spectrum of security needs from the network edge to the cloud. A core offering is its intelligent Next-Generation Firewall (iNGFW), which utilizes behavioral analytics to identify and counter threats that traditional firewalls might miss. The product line extends to Secure SD-WAN for distributed enterprises, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for secure remote access, and the iSource XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform, which leverages AI for threat correlation and automated response. For cloud environments, the company provides CloudHive, a micro-segmentation solution that protects virtual machines, and CloudArmour, a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). These solutions are engineered to integrate into existing Security Operations (SecOps) frameworks, providing a layered defense against multi-stage cyberattacks.
