Telecommunications equipment provider Huawei generated 35.6 billion (US$5.18 billion) in net profits for 2022 representing a 69% year-in-year declinethe biggest annual decline yet as the US slapped sanctions on its business and tough pandemic regulations in China affected its operations, according to a CNBC report.

"In 2022, a challenging external environment and non-market factors continued to take a toll on Huawei's operations, said Huawei rotating chairman Eric Xu at the company's annual report press conference.

CNBC reported Huaweis revenue rose 0.9% to 642.3 billion (US$93 billion) in 2022 as the company made measures following a 28% sales plunge in 2021.

Huawei is diversifying its business into new segments including cloud computing and automotive after it was battered in a few years by US sanctions.

Throughout 2019 and in 2020, Huawei was cut off from Googles Android operating system and the components it required such as conductors. That crippled Huaweis smartphone business which was touted as the number one in the world.

Huawei struggled to sell smartphones and smartwatches outside China since it was ousted from Android. It launched its own operating system HarmonyOS, which was installed on 330 million devices at end of 2022, up 113% year-on-year. While it gained a huge leap, the operating system failed to gain an attraction in China.

In times of pressure, we press on with confidence, said Huawei chief financial officer Sabrina Meng.

Huaweis carrier business, which includes equipment it sells to telco companies, generated 284 billion (US$41.3 billion) in revenuea 0.9% year-on-year rise. The small increase may be attributed to US urging of other countries to ban Huawei from their next-generation 5G networks. The UK has banned Huawei and Germany may soon follow.

Huaweis enterprise business which includes cloud computing rose 30% year-on-year to 133.2 billion (US$19.2 billion). The cloud computing business in 2022 alone generated 45.3 billion (US$6.5 billion).

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.

Locating and identifying sensitive data, including defense-in-depth strategies where a series of mechanisms are layered to protect valuable information, should be a critical component of any cloud data security strategy, say experts at Aparavi.

Data security refers to protecting digital information from unauthorized access, corruption or theft throughout its lifecycle. Cloud data security focuses specifically on protecting digital information in the cloud.

With cyberattacks increasing in both sophistication and frequency, and regulatory requirements regarding the privacy of and access to data more complex (and fines more expensive), organizations need a better way to overcome the challenges of securing their data regardless of whether it resides on premise, at the edge or in the cloud.

Much of the data in the cloud is unstructured and highly vulnerable to cyber threats. Unstructured data can include anything from emails and FedEx receipts to sensor data and social media feeds.

It often contains files with personal or sensitive information, like personnel documents, school records, credit card information, medical history and other personally identifiable information.

With the exponential growth of unstructured data and increases in the number of users and devices generating, accessing and using it, the number of vulnerabilities and opportunities for attack have risen as well.

Whether data resides on on-premise servers or in the cloud, no amount of cybersecurity protection will help if you dont know what you have, said Adrian Knapp, CEO of Aparavi.

Thanks to data silos, shadow IT and other factors, many organizations dont know where their unstructured data resides, what their unstructured data contains, who has access to it or how often its being accessed. To mitigate the risks associated with unstructured data and meet compliance, data security and privacy requirements organizations need to deploy IT security assets to help them find and identify sensitive data in order to overcome threats in their cloud environments, Knapp concluded.

Businesses are confronting the dual challenge of declining or stagnating cybersecurity budgets and escalating and increasingly complex threats in the face of economic turmoil, according to a new survey of global security executives.

According to data from Telstra Ventures forthcoming ClubCISO report, which surveyed 182 global CISOs, 14% of respondents said their budgets had either decreased or been cut completely, with a third (34%) stating these decreases were due to economic downturn/potential recession, while 30% revealed cuts had been driven by profit and loss pressures.

Telstra revealed the results of the survey after bringing together industry leaders from Attack IQ, Cofense and Corvus Insurance to discuss how to tackle the issue.

Cofense says the security challenges come at a time when threats are surging, and in 2022, Cofense Intelligence, which sources insights from the companys global network of more than 35 million people detected 569% more malicious phishing emails, had a 478% increase in the number of credential phishing - related Active Threat Reports published, and identified a 44% increase in malware.

This follows a recent study from AttackIQ, which revealed that the companys cloud customers found that endpoint detection and response (EDR) security controls only stopped top adversary techniques 39% of the time, highlighting the importance of continuous testing to maximise return on investment.

The report notes that compounding the challenge is the fact that threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and according to Cofense, 2022 saw a 341% increase in Web3 technologies being used in phishing attacks.

With economic pressures raging, attacks are becoming more financially motivated; some 37% detected by Cofense last year were financial-related, underscoring the risk breaches pose to businesses bottom lines, the report reveals.

This was further supported by Corvus, with ransomware and fraudulent funds transfer being consistent tactics of choice for threat actors in Q3 2022, together representing more than half of all Corvus claims.

Despite this concerning outlook there remains optimism, with 52% of ClubCISO respondents experiencing increases in their security budget in spite of economic headwinds. Of this figure, 39% stated this was due to the evolution of the threat landscape, demonstrating recognition of the need to bolster security capabilities in the face of increasing risk.

Camille Mendler, Chief Analyst, Enterprise Services, at Omdia, who chaired the panel, framed the conversation by discussing the increasingly fragmented security landscape, and how it is vital that security is seen as a business priority and not just a CISO responsibility. Keith Ibarguen, CPO, Cofense, called on the industry to collaborate and share intelligence to mitigate threats, with the company announcing that its global network has enabled it to achieve a 99.996% occurrence on phishing analysis over the last year.

Jonathan Reiber, Vice President at AttackIQ, an independent vendor of breach and attack simulation solutions, stressed the importance of democratising cybersecurity to both mitigate cost pressures and tackle threats - and the importance of leveraging resources already available.

In particular, he called on companies to pay close attention to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, and how it can help companies bolster their security capabilities against known techniques.

Reiber said: Whats changed the democratisation of preparedness in cybersecurity is this framework that says this is how an attack works. You can then build defences around these methods. We now know what adversaries do. We see the same tactics and techniques repeated over and over. What companies must do is exercise their defences against those known tactics and techniques.

Speaking ahead of the panel, he spotlighted the role of technology not just in terms of threat mitigation, but to help companies secure cybersecurity insurance while reducing premiums.

Drawing on the example of a leading bioscience company, Reiber highlighted how data from AttackIQ had enabled the organisation to work with their underwriter to reduce their insurance costs, helping to save the company money at a critical time.

Lori Bailey, Chief Insurance Officer at Corvus Insurance, further emphasised the need for data-driven risk mitigation, and discussed how insurance can be combined with real intelligence on vulnerabilities to make policyholders safer.

Bailey also commented on the urgent need for insurance coverage to be adapted to current threats, stating: While the cyber attack continuum has been evolving and continues to grow irrespective of the economic environment, with the economic downturn, we are seeing a real increase in activity - and tightening of security budgets.

From an insurance standpoint, were very focused on making sure that if policyholders are facing budget constraints, they are really focused on the areas that are going to make the most impact and have the most robust outcomes. Events such as the banking crisis over the last few weeks create huge pockets of opportunities for ransomware and threat actors.

It's these types of incidents for which we make sure our policyholders are educated, look for areas where they can protect themselves, and ensure they do not fall victim to these threats.

Despite the increasing risk, the industry leaders remained broadly optimistic, particularly given the advent of technology to tackle challenges. However, technology alone is not enough to mitigate threats and people capabilities must be seen as just as important, noted Rob Robinson, head of Telstra Purple, EMEA: Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape requires innovative technology, but thats only part of the solution.

Organisations must also focus on people and actively promote a culture that empowers employees to act as the first line of defence against emerging threats. With 29% of security leaders viewing the human element as a key determining factor of cyber resilience, ingraining security into an organisations DNA ensures that security best practices and behaviours become second nature.
