Huawei Sees Resolution of US Security Concern Taking a Decade

Huawei Technologies, China’s largest phone-network equipment maker, said it may take a decade to resolve the cybersecurity concerns that restrict its access to the US because the company is held to a “higher bar.”

“America has genuine concerns, and it’s Huawei’s responsibility to satisfy those genuine concerns,” said John Suffolk, the company’s global cybersecurity officer. “We will continue to work with our American colleagues to satisfy their needs and concerns and we believe we can do that.” Huawei is fighting to gain access to markets including the US and Australia. To address concerns, the company today released its second white paper detailing its approaches to cybersecurity and calling for governments and industry to develop globally consistent standards.
