Following Huawei, which opened its cybersecurity center in Brussels four months ago, its Chinese competitor ZTE is following suit. In a show of commitment to security in the ICT sector, ZTE launched its Cybersecurity Lab Europe in Brussels on July 10. The company said the lab “will provide a much wider range of access to the external security verification of ZTE’s products, services and processes, and will facilitate the external cooperation in the security field with stakeholders”. As part of its transparency initiative, ZTE had already set up two cybersecurity labs, in Nanjing, China, and in Rome, Italy, in May. The three centers will be connected in real time to create a unified platform.
According to a ZTE press release, “the lab provides four essential functions, including source code review, document review, black box testing and penetration testing. In addition, ZTE will conduct in-depth researches of the security field in the lab, in partnerships with industry-leading security organizations. Moreover, the lab will play a significant role in guaranteeing the security of the company’s 5G solutions in the 5G era.” Representatives of the European Commission and of the European Council, as well as telecoms operators, GSMA and other industry associations, have attended the opening ceremony.
“ZTE’s original intention of the Cybersecurity Lab Europe is to provide global customers, regulators and other stakeholders with great transparency by means of verification and communication,” said Zhong Hong, ZTE’s Chief Security Officer. “The security for the ICT industry cannot be guarded by one sole vendor, or by one sole telecoms operator. ZTE is willing to play an important role in contributing to the industry’s security along with its customers and all other stakeholders.”
