Senior Expert - Security Engineering

Huawei's Heisenberg Research Center (Munich) is responsible for advanced technology research, architectural development, design and strategic engineering of our products.

Huawei Vulnerability Management Center (PSIRT) was founded and accepted as a member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) in 2010. It has established a vulnerability response process in compliance with ISO/IEC 29147 and ISO/IEC 30111. PSIRT is a dedicated team that receives, investigates, and discloses security vulnerabilities in Huawei products and solutions and is an important vulnerability disclosure window.

PSIRT is responsible for vulnerability management during the Group's deep dive into digital transformation and new business. It builds an end-to-end (E2E) vulnerability governance and capability system and an open vulnerability management ecosystem, implements vulnerability management requirements under the company's diverse business structure to meet stringent external requirements, and ensures that product security capabilities can be translated into competitiveness.

PSIRT is expanding to be responsible for cyber security and privacy protection process and engineering capability development to support Huawei’s overall E2E cybersecurity assurance framework.
