H3C secures EUCC Substantial-level certification for its WLAN lineup, boosting its cybersecurity credentials
Executive summary: H3C's Wireless LAN controllers and access points achieved the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC) at the 'Substantial' assurance level on July 23 2026. The certification validates the cybersecurity robustness of H3C's WLAN equipment, which can be a decisive factor for enterprises in regulated sectors requiring proven security controls.
Who is involved: H3C (a Chinese networking vendor), the EUCC certification body overseeing the assessment, and prospective enterprise customers in finance, healthcare, and government.
Likely next: H3C may pursue the EUCC 'High' assurance level and use the certification in marketing; competitors may accelerate their own EUCC submissions to keep pace.
On July 23 2026, H3C announced that its Wireless LAN controllers and access points have earned the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme's Substantial assurance level. This places the company among a small group of vendors that have formally validated the security of their networking gear under the EUCC framework. The achievement is likely to strengthen H3C's position in markets where certified cybersecurity is a procurement requirement, such as finance, healthcare and government.
