LONDON: China's Huawei Technologies<\/a> has failed to convince British security officials that the security risks of using its products in UK national infrastructure can be adequately managed, according to a government report released on Thursday.
A government-led board that oversees the vetting of Huawei<\/a> gear in Britain said continued problems with the company's engineering and security practices meant it could only give \"limited assurance\" that all risks to UK networks could be sufficiently mitigated long-term.
The board - which includes officials from Britain's GCHQ signals intelligence<\/a> agency - said Huawei had only made limited progress addressing issues raised last year and it had no confidence in the company's ability to complete a previously-announced cybersecurity overhaul.
The findings will increase pressure on Huawei, the world's biggest maker of telecoms networking equipment, which has been besieged by repeated rounds of U.S. sanctions and allegations that its products can be used by Beijing for spying.
Huawei has repeatedly denied the allegations and said on Thursday the British assessment showed equipment vulnerabilities were not a result of \"Chinese state interference.\"
\"The report acknowledges that while our software transformation process is in its infancy, we have made some progress in improving our software engineering capabilities,\" a company spokesman said.
After initially granting Huawei a limited role in the UK's 5G infrastructure, Prime Minister Boris Johnson reversed that decision in July, ordering all of the company's equipment to be purged from national networks by the end of 2027.
The reason given for the about-turn was the impact of new U.S. restrictions on chip technology, which Britain's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) told ministers meant Huawei was no longer a reliable equipment supplier.
Officials said the latest report, which is produced annually as part of the government's procedure for vetting Huawei equipment used in the UK, looked at events in 2019 and did not relate to the subsequent impact of the sanctions.
Increased vetting meant the number of vulnerabilities identified in Huawei equipment in 2019 rose significantly compared to the previous year, the report said, including one issue with the company's broadband products that was deemed to be of \"national significance.\"
The board said it was not aware of any of the vulnerabilities being exploited by nation-state hackers but the weaknesses nevertheless presented a serious risk.
\"If an attacker has knowledge of these vulnerabilities and sufficient access to exploit them, they may be able to affect the operation of a UK network, in some cases causing it to cease operating correctly,\" the report said.
\"These findings are about basic engineering competence and cyber security hygiene that give rise to vulnerabilities that are capable of being exploited by a range of actors,\" it added.
\"NCSC does not believe that the defects identified are a result of Chinese state interference.\"

伦敦:中国华为技术有限公司没能说服英国安全官员说,使用其产品的安全风险在英国国家基础设施可以充分管理,根据周四公布的一份政府报告。
政府主导的董事会的监督审查华为齿轮在英国表示持续的问题公司的工程和安全实践意味着它只能给“有限保证”,所有英国网络可以充分缓解长期风险。
董事会——包括英国政府通信总部的官员信号情报机构表示,华为去年只取得了有限的进展解决问题,在公司的能力没有信心完成为了网络安全改革。
华为这个发现将会增加压力,全球最大的电信网络设备制造商,已经被重复轮美国制裁和指控,其产品可以使用北京从事间谍活动。
华为一再否认了这些指控,并表示周四英国评估显示设备漏洞没有结果的“中国国家干涉。”
”该报告承认,虽然我们的软件转换过程是处于起步阶段,我们已经取得了一些进展改善软件工程的能力,”该公司发言人说。
最初授予华为在英国5 g作用有限的基础设施,总理鲍里斯·约翰逊7月撤销了这一决定,命令所有公司的设备被净化到2027年底,全国网络。
大转变的理由是美国新芯片技术限制的影响,英国的国家网络安全中心(成都市)告诉部长意味着华为不再是一个可靠的设备供应商。
官员表示,最新报告,每年产生的政府审查华为设备的程序在英国,看着事件在2019年和不相关的后续影响制裁。
审查意味着增加漏洞确认2019年在华为的设备的数量明显比前一年上升,报告说,其中一个问题与公司的宽带产品,被认为是“国家意义。”
董事会表示,它不知道有任何的漏洞被利用民族国家黑客然而弱点提出了一个严重的风险。
“如果攻击者的知识这些漏洞和充分利用它们,它们可能会影响英国的操作网络,在某些情况下导致它停止操作正确,”该报告称。
“这些发现对基础工程能力和网络安全卫生产生漏洞,能够利用一系列的演员,”它补充道。
“成都市不相信缺陷识别是中国政府干预的结果。”
