European Business Summit 2018

Huawei to open Cybersecurity Centre in Brussels

Ken Hu, Rotating Chairman of Huawei Technologies made a major announcement at the European Business Summit on 24 May 2018 while speaking about GDPR and Huawei activities in Brussels. “Here in Brussels, we will open a Transparency and Cybersecurity Center in the near future. It will serve as a platform for customers and industry partners to work together on security and privacy protection. This will help all stakeholders consolidate strengths – and consolidate trust – in the digital world”. Furthermore, Ken Hu also elaborated on the importance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): ”The GDPR is the most comprehensive data privacy law in the world, and it sets a very positive example for all countries. For the past two years, Huawei has closely examined the GDPR, and we have embedded its requirements into all of our business activities. We have trained all of 180,000 employees on GDPR requirements, and we have appointed Privacy Protection Officers where needed. To ensure compliance, our internal audit teams have completed thorough reviews in all EU countries. Huawei is ready for GDPR, and we remain committed to privacy protection.”
