Thanks to the accelerating uptake of technologies such as 5G, cloud, and AI, the world became digital, fully connected, and intelligent. Digital technologies had permeated every aspect of our lives, reshaping how we lived and worked through their openness and connectivity on a global scale. Cybersecurity therefore became a top concern for many countries and industries worldwide. Building digital trust and ensuring cybersecurity—two cornerstones of guaranteeing digital transformation—became a practice the international community was keen to pursue.
Sean Yang, Global Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection Officer of Huawei, said, “We were delighted to extend our long-term partnership with GISEC GLOBAL by becoming its Lead Strategic Partner for the 2025 edition. Huawei was committed to securing our shared digital future with governments, industry organizations, standardization bodies, and enterprise stakeholders.
