Huawei India, a global leading Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) solutions provider today launched a comprehensive 24 page detailed paper called Cyber Security Perspectives; 21st century technology & security- A difficult Marriage. The paper was launched in conjunction with the visit of Huawei’s Global Chief Security Officer and author of the white paper, Mr. John Suffolk to India. In a special address to the media Mr. John Suffolk pointed out the key threats to global cyber security and also the need for a collaborative approach to address global cyber security during the launch event at New Delhi.
As part of the ICT ecosystem, Huawei has shared its experience and knowledge in cyber security through this paper, with the industry with the aim to help everyone to safely, easily and equally benefit from the vast information flow. According to Mr. John Suffolk “This White Paper is a step towards improving industry awareness of Huawei’s global efforts in the area of cyber security and presents our view on actions companies and governments need to carry out to manage the global cyber security challenge”.
The paper outlines the impact cyber security is having on technology, the global supply chain, and society. The development of networks enables people from different regions to have more equal opportunities for development, allows different cultures to communicate on a common footing, and advances the progress of human civilization. While we enjoy the conveniences and benefits offered by networks, we also face cyber security challenges, which require governments and the technology industry to drive forward comprehensive and collaborative solutions. The report states that global cyber security is a marathon and all stakeholders – governments and industry alike – need to recognize that cyber security is a shared global problem requiring risk-based approaches, best practices and international cooperation to address the challenge.
In his address to media, Mr. Cai Liqun, CEO- Huawei India expressed his delight at the launch of the report and said that, “Cyber Security is a global issue and as a leading global ICT solutions provider, Huawei through its continuous innovation and open cooperation has participated in the establishment of international standards, protects the strength and security of the network, and has won the trust of its customers and the industry. In addition to being partners with 45 of 50 global telecom operators, today Huawei also partners with almost all Indian telecom network operators. It is a matter of pride for us that and has also become the partner of choice for all our customers”.
Cyberspace is a new and unfamiliar domain that has gradually become the ‘nervous system’ through which society operates. In a world where over 87{af589cdba9d77786c8c861317dbad60bba1e2ebbf56e2ffab874a1b59fde9ce3} of the population is mobile users, the stark reality is that cyber security is a growing global challenge demanding rational and universal solutions. As governments, enterprises and consumers have become increasingly reliant on ICT solutions that integrate inputs designed, developed, coded and manufactured by multiple suppliers around the world, the scale of the cyber security challenge has grown exponentially.
As a global company, Huawei is dedicated to maintaining a leading role in cyber security to ensure that the integrity and security of the networked solutions and services we provide meets or exceeds the needs of our customers and provides the assurance confidence required by their own customers. The paper highlights end-to-end global cyber security assurance system established and implemented by Huawei that embeds security into internal procedures. The system has been established and implemented across all business areas, such as corporate policy and management, organizational structure, personnel, and technology to ensure its effective deployment and to build an auditable, sustainable and reliable security system.
