Actual Summary: Huawei might be on top of their network / endpoint security, it’s unclear—though for customers, at least outside of China, they seem to either take 6 months to patch or patch no more often than every 6 months. This leaves a large gap during which all kinds of shenanigans could occur.
Other vendors don’t seem to have their security acts together any better than Huawei, potentially less so, though unlike that company other vendors allow the companies using their products and services to patch customer-managed systems themselves.
Not sure how that translates to / relates to Huawei dominating in 8 or more years.
