Global Privacy and Transparency Center in Dongguan – China Challenge While we are increasing digitalization around the world, cybersecurity is becoming more important than ever. From the news, we’ve seen an increasing number of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as energy, healthcare, and transportation. These attacks have affected the lives of millions of people around the world. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, in 2021, losses from cybercrime could reach $6 trillion. This is more than the third largest economy in the world. Meanwhile, as a result of the pandemic, people are spending more time online than ever before. And I’m sure many of us will continue to work remotely, even after the pandemic. This is the new normal. And it’s more important than ever to ensure a safe and secure cyberspace. Global progress: An opportunity for improvement On a global scale, with cyber attacks on the rise, all industries are taking cybersecurity more seriously. In the public sector, new laws, regulations and standards are being applied regularly. In the past two years alone, more than 180 cybersecurity laws have been passed in 151 countries. This is amazing progress. In the telecommunications sector, industry organizations such as GSMA and 3GPP have been working closely with industry stakeholders to promote the NESAS Security Specifications and independent certifications. Mr. Ken-Hu rotating chairman of Huawei These frameworks are already widely accepted in the industry and we are confident that they will play an important role in the development and verification of secure networks. However, we still have a lot of work to do. Cybersecurity is a complex, increasingly challenging challenge that requires close cooperation and information sharing. We still lack a coordinated, standards-based approach across the industry, especially when it comes to governance, technical capabilities, certification, and collaboration. Unfortunately, in some places there is still a misconception that the country of origin of the product affects the security of equipment and network technology. This view is simply wrong. That perspective does not address the real challenges and prevents us from forming a unified approach. Our Cybersecurity Experience At Huawei, cybersecurity is our top priority. We share this responsibility with our customers to ensure that the equipment they are using is safe and secure. We are proud of what we have achieved. Over the past 30 years, we have served more than three billion people around the world. We support the stable operation of more than 1,500 service provider networks in more than 170 countries. And we’ve maintained a solid track record in cybersecurity over the years. This is the result of continued investment in cybersecurity management experience. We currently have more than 3,000 cybersecurity R&D employees, with 5% of our R&D spending focused on the security of our products. Generic Methods and Trust Building Of course, our cybersecurity systems were not developed in a vacuum. They are also the result of regular engagement, joint research and joint innovation with our customers, partners, regulators and standards organizations around the world. That’s what this Cybersecurity Transparency Center is all about. Two years ago we opened a similar Center in Brussels. At the time, I said about our ABC principle for security at Huawei: “Trust no one. Trust no one. Check everything.” My point is that trust and distrust should both be based on facts, not feelings, not speculation and not baseless rumors. We believe that data should be verifiable and that verification should be based on standards. Because this is our guiding principle, we have established 6 Cybersecurity and Transparency Centers over the past 10 years in Europe, the Middle East and North America. This center in Dongguan will serve three main functions: To exhibit solutions and share experiences. To facilitate communication and joint innovation. Provides a platform for security testing and verification. This hub is designed to support stakeholders from around the world. The Center has the best tools, testing environments and experts available to our partners, customers and industry colleagues. Here you can understand and test our products. And together, we can work more closely on security, verification and innovation standards. 3 points of view to conclude Before concluding my speech, I would like to take this opportunity to share my three quick views. The first thing is that we need to build capacity together. Cybersecurity threats are complex, diverse, and evolving. No organization can handle it all. From governance, standards and technology, to verification, we need to work together, combine strengths and build our collective capabilities. We also need to share knowledge, like the Security Fundamentals we’re releasing today and the 5G Network Security Knowledge Base deployed by the GSMA. The more knowledge and best practices we share, the more we can effectively enhance cybersecurity as a community. And finally, we need to form stronger alliances. That means governments, standards bodies and technology vendors need to work more closely together to develop a unified understanding of cybersecurity challenges. This must be an international effort. We need to set common goals, align responsibilities, and work together to build a trusted digital environment that meets the challenges of today and tomorrow. Once again, thank you for joining us today and thank you all for joining us online.

Specifically, Samsung – the “heavyweight” name of the mobile world – announced that it will not display in person, but only “attend remotely” to ensure the safety and health of customers and employees. Regretting the decision this year, a spokesman for the Korean electronics company also expressed hope to be able to attend the event in person in 2022. Similarly, a Lenovo spokesman said that the Chinese electronics company also chose to “virtual attendance” and confirmed that it had informed the GSM Association (GSMA) – the organizer of MWC – about this decision. Earlier, Google also announced that it would not attend MWC 2021, while Nokia, Ericsson, Sony, Oracle will all be absent from all conference events and not exhibiting in person because of “the ongoing effects of Covid- 19 and concern for people and their health”. With an organization cost of nearly half a billion USD (estimated in 2020), providing more than 14,100 temporary jobs, MWC has always been the focus of annual activities of the world telecommunications and mobile device industry. The event organized by GSMA in Barcelona (Spain) is an important occasion for manufacturers to seek cooperation opportunities and announce new products. Through MWC, the media as well as consumers easily grasp the development trend of mobile technology, telecommunications infrastructure… and many other useful information. Until now, through strict epidemic control measures such as the requirement to present a negative certificate for SARS-CoV-2 virus or mandatory testing every 72 hours, GSMA still hopes to be able to keep on schedule. organize MWC 2021 in the form of live from June 28 to July 1. However, experts are concerned that this desire may fail again in a similar way to 2020, in the context that a series of leading manufacturers have confirmed that they will not participate directly in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic situation. 19 complicated developments and the global Covid-19 vaccination still faced many difficulties.

“The health and safety of our employees, partners and customers is our number one priority, so Samsung has decided not to participate in the live display at Mobile World Congress this year,” a company representative said. . MWC 2021 has been delayed by 4 months compared to the annual practice. Photo: PCMag. Samsung is not the first big name in the mobile industry to confirm not to participate in MWC 2021. Previously, Sony, Nokia and Ericsson have announced similar plans. Google also didn’t bring any new products to this event, but it’s still present. “We understand that event planning during the pandemic is complicated. Samsung will appear online at MWC 2021. We hope to see them again at next year’s event,” the spokesperson said. of the Global Mobile Association (GSMA) – the organizer of MWC – feedback on Engadget . On May 6, GSMA released a press release, introducing details of the MWC 2021 event program. The theme of this year’s exhibition is: Connected Impact with content revolving around AI, 5G, Big Data and IoT shaping the future, changing lives. GSMA intends to invite more than 600 keynote speakers for this event, including big names in the global technology industry such as leaders of carriers, technology firms, investment funds. The withdrawal of Samsung – the brand that holds the largest share of the global mobile market – puts MWC at risk of a similar cancellation last year. Two weeks before the event, the organizers of MWC 2020 announced the cancellation of the exhibition because many major brands did not attend, including Samsung, Sony and LG. This year, instead of being held at the end of February and early March as usual, GSMA decided to postpone the MWC 2021 exhibition to the end of June.
