Jiawei Liu, CEO of Huawei UAE, commented: “As organisations in the Middle East increase their adoption of the latest advanced digital technologies to support their digital transformation goals, the risks and challenges of cybersecurity will evolve. At Huawei, cybersecurity is an integral part of all our products and solutions, right from the conceptualization stage. Therefore, at GISEC 2022, Huawei is looking forward to connecting with the regional business leaders from all industries and sectors and showcasing our wide range of secure digital transformation solutions and strategies that can help them better protect and defend themselves.”

Ibrahim Alshamrani, Chief Security Officer of Huawei Saudi Arabia, said: “Saudi Arabia has always been an early adopter of cutting-edge technologies and innovation. Under its Vision 2030, technology adoption has leapfrogged in the Kingdom and it already has a robust cybersecurity infrastructure in place. However, cybercriminals will never be complacent and therefore, we cannot be either. By collaborating with the government, service providers, and the wider industry, we can better defend and protect KSA against malicious cyber risks. At GISEC 2022, Huawei will discuss extending an invitation to the industry to innovate ways to leverage intelligent applications to create a resilient and secure working environment in the Kingdom.”

Huawei has long worked with organizations like the GSMA, 3GPP, OIC-CERT, and other industry stakeholders to examine emerging cybersecurity risks and promote independent certifications and standards such as the GSMA/3GPP NESAS Security Assurance Specifications and GSMA 5G Cybersecurity Knowledge Base. In addition, Huawei is now driving the adoption of the OIC 5G Security Framework developed by the OIC-CERT 5G Security Working Group to enhance cybersecurity measures proportionate to the risk landscape emerging from digital technology advances.
