#Huawei joins #ParisCall for trust and security in #Cyberspace

In becoming a Paris Call member, Huawei joins 564 other entities who have made a public commitment to strengthening the security of digital products and digital systems. The group’s members include 67 states, 139 international and civil society organizations, and 358 private-sector companies.

Launched by the French government in November 2018, the Paris Call is a declaration of commitment to work collaboratively on one of the world’s most challenging issues. Members work together to make digital products more secure, strengthen collective defenses against cybercrime, and promote cooperation among stakeholders across national borders. They also pledge adherence to international norms of responsible behavior in cyber space.

As a leading provider of information and communications technology, Huawei invests heavily in research aimed at making our products and solutions as secure as possible, and is committed to ensuring security for all customers and users.

“The quest for better security serves as the foundation of our existence, said John Suffolk, Global Cyber Security & Privacy Officer at Huawei. “We fully support any endeavor, idea or suggestion that can enhance the resilience and security of products and services for Governments, customers and their customers. We support global collaborative action on improving defenses against cybercrime, including openness, transparency and internationally agreed standards.”

As a member of the Paris Call, Huawei will advocate zealously for the universal adoption of objective testing and verification standards for all technology vendors. By relying on objective third-party standards to test the security of technology made by any vendor, we can ensure that decisions about security are based on facts, rather than emotions or political rhetoric.

Huawei will work with governments, other private companies, and civil society to promote capacity-building measures that make the digital world more secure.
