Well as you may already know:

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. is a Chinese multinational networking and telecommunications equipment and services company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It is the largest telecommunications equipment maker in the world, after having overtaken Ericsson.

Huawei was founded in 1988 by ex-military officer Ren Zhengfei and formed as a private company owned by its employees. Its core missions are building telecommunications networks; providing operational and consulting services and equipment to enterprises inside and outside of China; and manufacturing communications devices for the consumer market. Huawei has over 140,000 employees, around 46% of whom are engaged in research and development (R&D). It has 20 R&D institutes in countries including China, the United States, Germany, Sweden, India, Russia, and Turkey, and in 2011 invested around US$3.74 billion in R&D.

In 2010, Huawei recorded profit of 23.8 billion CNY (3.7 billion USD). Its products and services have been deployed in more than 140 countries and it currently serves 45 of the world's 50 largest telecoms operators.

Critics have pointed to the issues Huawei has with intellectual property rights, security concerns and treatment of its workforce and customers. Huawei representatives have in turn denied or disputed these allegations. Source: Wikipedia

ZTE Corporation (formerly Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment Corporation) (SZSE: 000063; SEHK: 0763) is a Chinese multinational telecommunications equipment and systems company headquartered in Shenzhen, China. It is the world's fourth-largest mobile phone manufacturer measured by 2011 unit sales and the world's fifth-largest telecoms equipment maker measured by 2011 revenues (after Ericsson, Huawei, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia Siemens Networks).

ZTE's core products are wireless, exchange, access, optical transmission and data telecommunications gear; mobile phones; and telecommunications software. It also offers products that provide value-added services, such as video on demand and streaming media. ZTE primarily sells products under its own name but it is also an OEM, manufacturing some products which retail under other brand names.

ZTE was founded in 1985 by a group of state-owned enterprises associated with China's Ministry of Aerospace. Source: Wikipedia

Network Security Notes: Top 5 Network Security Threats for 2011

First of all, do you know Threats?

In general, A threat is an act of coercion wherein an act is proposed to elicit a negative response. It is a communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another person. It can be a crime in many jurisdictions. Threat (intimidation) is widely used in animal kingdom, particularly in a ritualized form, chiefly in order to avoid the unnecessary physical violence that can lead to physical damage or death of both conflicting parties.

How about network threat?

A network threat can be network tool, or network application or any software application that can cause a network in a harmful way or under the attack...

The methods hackers and crackers use to gain unauthorized access into network devices are known as threats.

1.Unauthorized access—A network intruder can gain unauthorized access to networking devices through a variety of means, three of which are as follows:

Physical—If attackers have physical access to a machine, more often than not, they will be able to get in. The techniques used to gain access range from accessing the device via the console to physically taking apart the system.

System—System access assumes that the intruder already has a user account on the system. Proper privileges should be granted to the user such that he or she is authenticated and authorized only to do that which is deemed to be a function of his or her job duties.

Remote—Remote access involves intruders who attempt to penetrate the system remotely from across the Internet, through a dial−up connection, or on local or wide area network. This type of intruder usually has no account privileges.

2.Eavesdropping—Eavesdropping is used to capture TCP/IP or other protocol packets, thus allowing the intruder to decode the contents of the packet using a protocol analyzer. "Packet sniffing" is a more common term used to describe the act of eavesdropping. Eavesdropping leads to information theft, like stolen credit card and social security numbers.

3.Data manipulation—Data manipulation is simply the act of altering files on computers, vandalizing a Web site, or replacing FTP files.

4.Protocol weakness—The most−used protocol in circulation today is TCP/IP. This protocol was designed a long time ago. As a result, a number of its design flaws can lead to possible security problems, such as smurf attacks, IP spoofing, TCP sequence number prediction, and SYN floods. The IP protocol itself is a very trusting protocol; therefore, hackers are free to forge and change IP data.

5.Session replay—Intruders can eavesdrop on one or more users involved in a communication session and manipulate the data in such a manner according to the hack they are trying to perform.

These are just some types of security threats to give you a general idea of the number and types of methods intruders have at their disposal.
