“Shoddy” Huawei needs to get better, UK cyber official says

LONDON: “Shoddy” Chinese technology firm Huawei has a lot of work to do and needs to improve as its current security is worse than that of its Western competitors, a senior British cyber security official said on Thursday.

“Huawei as a company builds stuff very differently to their Western counterparts. Part of that is because of how quickly they’ve grown up, part of it could be cultural – who knows,” Ian Levy, Technical Director of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, told a conference in London.
