ZTE releases 2019 Cybersecurity White Paper


Shenzhen, China, 03 Apr 2019

ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the mobile Internet, today releases its 2019 Cybersecurity White Paper, which elaborates on ZTE's insights, principles, strategies and practices concerning cyber security.

The white paper concentrates on ZTE's multi-layer security system and commitment to providing customers with end-to-end security assurance for products and services.

In the 5G era, technologies like cloud computing, the Internet of things (IOT), big data, and AI bring about a new industry revolution, which, in the meantime, has resulted in increasingly serious and rampant cyber security threats across the globe.

ZTE's Cybersecurity White Paper elaborates its cyber security governance architecture based on three lines of defence. The first line of defence is managed by each business unit, which is responsible for implementing self-control over cyber security. The second line of defence is operated by the company's Product Security Department, which is in charge of the independent security assessments and supervision. The third line of defence is the company's Internal Control & Audit Department, which checks and audits the effectiveness of the first and second lines of defence. At the same time, ZTE accepts the security audits organised by customers and external third parties.

Meanwhile, the white paper also describes ZTE's end-to-end product security practices, covering a wide range of practices from R&D security, supply chain security, delivery security and personal data protection to security incident management, independent security assessment and cyber security lab building. In the white paper, ZTE reviewed its milestones in cyber security and its vision for the future as well.

"Cyber security is one of the highest priorities of ZTE's product R&D and delivery practices. ZTE attaches utmost importance to our customers' security values," said Zhong Hong, Chief Security Officer of ZTE. "Currently, cyber security threats are some of the most common threats that customers are faced with, along with the company. Customers are most concerned if we have sufficient security measures to ensure the secure operation of their equipment and services.

"The company abides by the relevant laws and regulations within the realm of cyber security, and ensures end-to-end delivery of secure and reliable products and services," continued Hong.

ZTE continues to communicate and co-operate with operators, regulatory agencies, partners and other stakeholders in an open and transparent manner with respect to continuous improvement in its cyber security practices. Furthermore, the company respects legitimate rights and interests of users and end-users, and keeps innovating and improving its management and technical practices.

ZTE has been committed to providing customers with secure and trustworthy products and services, while creating a secure cyber environment together with all stakeholders and maintaining a sound security order for cyber space.
