Telecommunications equipment provider, Huawei, has proposed a national Cyber Security Evaluation Centre, which will test the security credentials of technologies being implemented into critical infrastructure projects. Huawei Australia Chairman, John Lord, addressed concerns about the security the company’s products pose in light of recent media furore. Lord said that an “interdependent global technology supply chain” has created a wealth of benefits for Australians, but has also created new challenges for maintaining cyber security. He said Australia must continue to reap the benefits of new technologies as Asia takes a leadership role in innovation and the development of intellectual property.”]
