SHARE Huawei is working with various government entities with the goal of establishing the UAE as a "globally-trusted digital oasis" that is safe from potential cyber threats, said Aloysius Cheang, the company’s chief security officer for the UAE. The Shenzhen-headquartered company created the new post of CSO last October during the Covid-19 pandemic to help the Emirates achieve its goals of setting up smart cities and e-governments while "keeping the nation’s critical infrastructure safe". Huawei was also appointed the co-chair of the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation – Computer Emergency Response Team’s (OIC-CERT's) 5G security working group at the recently held Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference in Dubai.
