We adopt a rational approach to risk management – Huawei

To help reduce risks associated with managing the complex physical infrastructure of virtual worlds, requires a high level of understanding of the complexities of networks, Huawei Nigeria’s head cyber security officer, Osita Iweze has said.

“The virtual world requires a huge amount of complex physical infrastructure. How that physical infrastructure is configured varies from country to country, not least depending on the size of the country’s landmass and its population.


“Because we know how critical this is for customers and end users of our technologies, Huawei conducts objective, evidence-based analysis of threats and makes informed decisions based on risks,” he said.


“Huawei upholds the NCSC’s three technical pre-conditions. Firstly, we must have higher standards of cyber security across the entire telecom sector.

The FRAND principle – fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory – should be followed.Secondly, Telecom networks must be more resilient and so network architecture needs to ensure defense in depth and lastly, there must be adequate competition and sustainable diversity in the supplier market,” he added.


Iweze also maintained that the perception that countries of origin of technologies can influence their vulnerability to cyber threats was faulty.


“According to a public statement issued by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centra (NCSC) in relation a threat assessment, ‘[The attackers] were looking for weaknesses in how [networks] were architected and how they were run.

In the 1,200 or so significant cyber security incidents the NCSC has managed since we were set up, the country of origin of suppliers has not featured among the main causes for concern in how these attacks are carried out’.”

President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.

In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.

He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.

President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.

While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.

President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.

He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.

According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
