A very interesting article, worth reading......

Fortinet: 5G to present new edge computing security concerns

Although the rollout of 5G connectivity will enable new edge computing opportunities, John Maddison, executive VP at Fortinet, said it will also require new security considerations.

OT but interesting to see Blackberry make a return from the ashes largely on the back of software solutions. It does represent a shift in this industry which we hope Telco are at the forefront of a lot of that change

In the Mail Yesterday :

"Huawei poses Long-term National Security risk, Spy Watchdag warns"

BRITAIN'S spy agency has delivered a scathing verdict on the security risks to UK telecoms from Chinese technology giant Huawei

A watchdog, chaired by the head of GCHQ's National Cyber Security Centre, said there were `concerning issues' about electronics made by the firm and installed in the UK.

The Huawei oversight board's report, published yesterday, says the Government is particularly concerned about `several hundred' vulnerabilities and issues reported in 2018. In many cases they relate to engineering that risks making parts of the UK's telecoms system vulnerable to cyber attack. It says: 'Over-all, the oversight board can only provide limited assurance that all risks to UK national security... can be sufficiently mitigated long-term.'

`These findings are about basic engineering competence... that give rise to vulnerabilities that are capable of being exploited by a range of actors.' However, it adds: 'NCSC does not believe that the defects identified are a result of Chinese state interference.'

The comments come as the Government prepares to make a decision over the launch of 5G - Britain's next generation mobile network. Huawei promised to spend £1.5billion to address concerns raised by the board. The watchdog had already indicated last year that its patience was wearing thin. Yesterday it went further, effectively issuing an ultimatum that the firm must fix the problems or be excluded from parts of Britain's telecoms network.

Huawei said it took the board's concerns `very seriously' but it could take up to five years to address all of the issues.

Britain's four major mobile networks have already started testing 5G technology using Huawei equipment, and they say a ban now could cost the industry hundreds of millions. A final decision on Huawei's involvement in 5G will be published in the next few weeks.

The firm is beset by troubles after its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Canada on suspicion of fraud and breaching US sanctions in December, at the request of the United States.

The firm's sales director in Poland was fired after he was arrested by the country's counter-intelligence service in January on spying charges.

Been buying here today based on combination of potential turn on the chart and target price of 48p. gla

There is a lot in the news about Huawei and the implications of using their equipment integral to 5G rollouts etc.
There is considerable misunderstanding here with experts and other making wild statements.
The main issue here as I see it (so this is my opinion only)
Huawei equipment in itself at this point in time poses little risk if any and the intentions of the company itself are likely benign they are in the business of selling product.
The problem arises when we fast forward to full adoption of 5G networks and their maintenance and control. Thats where it all goes wrong its more a matter of what could happen and how we are going to protect systems.
Quite simply its a perceived risk to have Huawei equipment embedded in core infrastructure.
My view is its a risk not worth taking and that we should be using home grown solutions.
Telco and ARM just blew us all away with their NFVTime and Neoverse systems and approach best we keep our powder dry in our own storeroom

[volsung] 28/3/2019 15:19

Time for the next leg up? Ihave bought some more in anticipation

[fse] 28/3/2019 14:53

Bought a few more shares for my trading account, which show up as sells.
We are either at the high end of the old range or the low end of the new one, I suspect the latter FWIW

[car1pet] 27/3/2019 18:22

Some late buying at the end of the day not huge but 2 x 50k buys.Maybe some late positive news.See if it continues tomorrow

[fse] 27/3/2019 16:05

I gave you the thumbs up car1pet.
Lots to talk about with BVC
Would like to be a fly on the wall at the Paris event, Telco are exhibiting on their own with a pretty heavyweight group.
SP is weaker on low to no volume and MM's marking down to find a buyer or scare out a weak holder...... the IP surely underpins these valuations

I enjoyed this thread because it always stuck to BATM until today. I am very interested in Brexit but please no more responses on Brexit. Please make this a "Brexit free" zone

[owenski] 26/3/2019 16:42

Cheers for the NFV post FSE

[fse] 26/3/2019 15:50

hangman .... you seem to find a lot of things incredible thats OK.
But why be such a rude lad
Big Bamboo for Telco in Paris whats your opinion on that seeing as you are on the BATM thread ?

Added comment: Its worth noting that NFVTime is attracting increasingly more attention as we go forwards. I am not aware of anyone else that has such a flexible software solution like NFVTime and the ties up with ARM and SOCS make it stand out.

Heres the link. The exhibition is sold out.


whats NFVTime about .......

[mr hangman] 26/3/2019 15:22

the UK & leaving his beloved EU, why don't you keep your nose OUT

Well as Steve Martin would say
excuuuuuuuse me !

The referendum was flawed and people voted without understanding what they were voting for thats the big objection here.
Now people are more au fait with the scenario and should be given another vote.
Government can not break this impasse as MP's vote along party line or have to resign!

Immediately following the referendum polls asked the public again how they would vote
In June 2016 Remain was on 53% and Leave 47% which suggested there was an issue with the way the referendum was promoted and taken.
Fast forward to Polls for March 2019 and you get "identical results" Remain 53% and leave 47%.

This suggests that people want to remain in the EU but feel it needs severe maintenance.
The UK is one of the big 3 in Europe and needs to act that way. Running for the door is not the correct response.
Interestingly every Prime Minister in the modern day Labour and Conservative including the current caretaker PM are in favour of reforming the EU not leaving it.
Winston Churchill was himself quite outspoken on the need to improve ties with Europe to prevent future wars. The EU did deliver PEACE.

Maybe best idea to keep off the Brexit and on the BVC: it's a toxic issue that poisons everything it touches. As I have discovered.

[barrieb] 26/3/2019 09:39

Well said Bummel45 very well put.

I think it may be the reality of reality that is the real problem here!

[owenski] 26/3/2019 08:37

Your version of reality, or reality reality, lol

[james dean] 26/3/2019 08:33

Spekky

Agreed.

Now back to the BAT(m) cave.

Two boring paragraphs well worth skipping over.
