Further, Huawei works with all stakeholders in an open and transparent manner to tackle the challenges of cybersecurity. Huawei, therefore, promotes the adoption of open and verifiable security standards such as GSMA NESAS /3GPP SCAS for 5G security, GSMA 5G Security Knowledge Base, or OIC 5G Security Framework. Huawei believes security should be addressed from a technological perspective rather than geopolitics or ideology.
