OIC-CERT (Organisation of The Islamic. Cooperation – Computer Emergency Response Teams) and Huawei have announced a strategic collaboration plan to strengthen cybersecurity for OIC member states.
The announcement came during a meeting at Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, attended by OIC-CERT board members from Oman, Malaysia, the UAE, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Brunei and Egypt, alongside leaders from Huawei’s Global Cyber Security and Privacy Office.
The partnership will focus on building cybersecurity frameworks, standards and best practices that are in line with global advances in important sectors such as 5G, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence and post-quantum cryptography.
These measures will be crucial for protecting OIC members’ Digital Transformation journeys and building a mature and trustworthy digital economy. These frameworks will cement OIC-CERT’s influence in the global cybersecurity environment and establish it as a reliable leader and collaborator.
Eng. Badar Al Salehi, Chair of the OIC-CERT and Director General of the Oman CERT, said: “Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and partnerships with leading global ICT leaders like Huawei are essential to building a safer and more secure digital future for all.
“We are confident that this collaboration with Huawei will significantly contribute to strengthening the cyber-resilience of OIC member states and fostering a more secure digital ecosystem for our citizens and businesses.”
