According to the white paper, comprehensive assurance in security is essential 
to the entire ecosystem in the 5G era, ranging from IoT devices to 5G networks, 
from regulations to operations. The truly effective security assurance requires 
collaboration and coordination of all parties involved, as well as regular 
assessments, so as to tackle evolving challenges posed by global 5G deployment.

ZTE has been devoted to researching proactive cybersecurity solutions for many 
years. The white paper points out that ZTE's existing security capabilities, 
experience, and roadmap have demonstrated a mechanism for collaboration, 
transparency and openness, in a bid to address the upcoming security risks and 
challenges in the 5G world.

In addition, the white paper elaborates that cybersecurity is the highest 
priority for ZTE's product R&D and service delivery. ZTE has established a 
comprehensive cybersecurity assurance mechanism in accordance with laws and 
standards. Meanwhile, ZTE has adopted a series of cybersecurity measures, such 
as the three lines of defense model, Product Security Incident Response Team 
(PSIRT), cybersecurity labs, and security assessments.

In August 2020, ZTE passed GSMA's NESAS audit, demonstrating the security of 
ZTE's 5G development and lifecycle processes.

"Digitalization has been underway for many years, and a comprehensive security 
assurance is needed to be in line with risk appetite. Thinking about digital 
risk in terms of people, process, and technology to protect the 
confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of information is a 
combination that many organizations will recognize," said Maxine Holt, Senior 
Research Director of Cybersecurity at Omdia. "Cybersecurity is a global 
challenge to which all players must contribute in order to achieve and maintain 
a secure and reliable 5G network with high performance." 

"ZTE is all geared up and hopes to collaborate with customers and industry 
stakeholders to tackle the security challenges ahead," said Zhong Hong, Vice 
President and Chief Security Officer at ZTE. "We expect to build a secure and 
trustworthy 5G network to enable a better digital life for everyone."

Moving forward, ZTE will continue to maintain transparency and openness and 
adopt a risk-based approach for managing security throughout the product 
lifecycle. Moreover, the company will conform to regulatory requirements and 
technical standards, implement assessments, and obtain the certifications 
required by customers and regulators.
