NEW DELHI: European telecom vendors Ericsson and Nokia along with US-based Cisco and home-bred Tejas are among the first set of telecom equipment vendors to have received trusted sources approval from the National Cyber Security coordinator (NCSC) even as China’s Huawei and ZTE are yet to complete the documentation process to be eligible for the approval.

Industrial IoT solutions provider Proscend, France-based identity-related security services provider IDEMIA, PC Solutions and Dori Software have also received trusted sources approval from the designated authority, the NSCS.
