“Cybersecurity expert Daniel Tobok discusses the concerns surrounding Huawei’s involvement in Canada’s 5G network infrastructure. He highlights the potential risks associated with Huawei’s ties to the Chinese government, particularly the risk of espionage and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Tobok explains that while assurances from Huawei are important, there is a need for concrete proof that the infrastructure does not provide backdoor access to data. He emphasizes the challenges of reversing decisions once 5G networks are in place and the importance of establishing global agreements to define perimeters for espionage. Tobok also discusses the increasing threats posed by hackers and the need for heightened cybersecurity measures in the 5G era.”
