Products made by Chinese telecom giant Huawei contain a range of flaws that make it more vulnerable to cyber attacks than that of its competitors, according to a new study (pdf) by cybersecurity experts.
The research, published on June 26 by cybersecurity firm Finite State, analyzed around 10,000 firmware images supporting over 550 devices within Huawei’s enterprise network product lines, and found 55 percent of them to contain at least one potential backdoor. Firmware is software that allows hardware to run in a computer.
