ZTE Chief Security Officer Zhong Hong:ZTE Looks Forward to Building Secure and Trustworthy 5G Networks with Customers

ZTE's attitude and initiatives on cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the highest priority for ZTE's product R&D and service delivery. We embed security across all business units, and have established a cybersecurity assurance framework, covering the full product lifecycle including security design, security coding, security evaluation, supply chain security, security delivery and O&M. We also evaluate the maturity of our security practices regularly to continuously improve our security delivery capabilities.


ZTE adopts a fully transparent policy allowing customers, regulators, and other interested third parties to perform independent security assessments and audits on our equipment. The independent source code review, document review, black box testing and penetration testing allow our customers to verify the security of ZTE's products, services, and processes.


This is a continuous investment that showcases our commitment to having an active role in assisting our customers to strengthen requirements, shape standards, implement and evaluate security measures, and ensure full product lifecycle risk management.


In the cybersecurity value chain, ZTE is all geared up and hopes to collaborate with customers to tackle the security challenges ahead.


ZTE is ready to tackle cybersecurity challenges and explore new opportunities

While cybersecurity is a long journey, ZTE is all-set to embrace the new challenges and opportunities ahead.


To move forward, we adopt a risk-based approach for managing security throughout the product lifecycle, conform to regulatory requirements and technical standards, implement assessments and obtain the certifications required by customers and regulators. We will also keep supporting suppliers' risk profile assessments.


ZTE looks forward to building a more secure and trustworthy 5G network with operators and industry stakeholders to enable a better digital life for everyone.
