Huawei calls for closer public-private sector cooperation to restore trust in technology

Building trust in a digital society will require the joint efforts of policymakers, regulators, and the private sector, Catherine Chen, Corporate Senior VicePresident and BOD Member at Huawei, has said.

Chen’s comments echo Huawei’s reaffirmation to building stronger cybersecurity mitigation programs with local partners in the Middle East. Speaking at the St. Gallen Symposium, an annual gathering of current and future leaders from across the globe, she said: “As more devices feature connectivity, more services go online, and more critical infrastructures rely on real-time data exchanges, so must governments worldwide ensure that everyone is protected by the highest security standards. Only a common set of rules can guarantee a level of security that creates trust in technology”.
