MILAN, Feb. 24 (Class Editori) - ZTE Italia will assign the supervision of its cyber security laboratory at the CNIT (National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications). The deal provides for a collaboration in the cyber security field, for the implementation of support activities regarding the identification and definition of test methodologies and the supervision of the related activities.
In particular, the collaboration will be needed to create, organize and manage an independent technical committee of experts in the Cyber Security sector, aimed at supervising the technical and experimental activities for the analysis and check of the cyber security requirements on apparels, hardware/software, digital systems and platforms. The team will be led by a technical supervisor, chosen by the CNIT among many specialists with proven expertise in the cyber security sector.
“With this agreement we would like to make a further step forward in terms of transparency, by assigning to the University Consortium the supervision of the activities in our Lab. For us it is fundamental to offer to all stakeholders our concrete and effective involvement in respecting all the rules and the European directives on a so delicate topic”, as Hu Kun, CEO of ZTE Italy and Chairman of ZTE for Western Europe, has declared. “For this reason we have decided to assign to CNIT the supervision of the activities in our Cyber Lab. For ZTE, reliability, accuracy and transparency are really essential elements”.
The investment in the laboratory inaugurated in Rome in May 2019 is an additional investment compared to the one amounting at half billion Euros that ZTE has allocated for Italy by 2022. In the last three years it has invested 200 million in the country, among which 20 million have been addressed to the training, research and innovation centers in the 5G field, in collaboration with the University of Tor Vergata and with Aquila. The opening of the Lab wanted to give a signal of transparency to trade and institutional partners, in a time in which Chinese tech giants were (and still are) targeted by the USA, which are putting pressure on their partners so that they will be excluded from the implementation of the 5G infrastructures.
According to the company, the cyber security lab aims at supplying to global customers, regulators and other stakeholders evaluation services on security and audit, such as the revision of procedural documents, tests on the black box and penetration tests.
