      On borrowed time?

      Cybercrime has become a huge part of our economy and it is a topic that is getting more and more attention in the news media. The cybercriminal stories making headlines involve big companies such as British Airways and Marriott etc. However, smaller companies are just as susceptible to cyber- attacks. Often these attacks are much more damaging to smaller businesses, sometimes forcing them to shut down completely. One report from Verizon claims that 43% of email attacks target SMBs.

Huawei has implemented a number of measures to help partners navigate through the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, according to channel boss Frank Shen.

Speaking to CRN, Shen said that 2020 will be "extremely difficult" for businesses due to the outbreak, but he outlined some ways in which Huawei is working with its 28,000 partners worldwide to minimise the negative effects for everyone.

"To help partners face challenges, overcome the pandemic, and ensure the smooth customer service development, Huawei provided MDF and other support for partners in numerous regions," Shen said.

"We hope the fund and support can relieve operational pressure on partners and support their business development. Huawei is determined to pull through the crisis together with our partners.

"In 2020, the pandemic is spreading across the world, and the global economy will face another storm. We say that the wind can break a tree, but it cannot destroy the whole forest. Huawei's Enterprise group will not give up any partners. We are not a tree, but a forest of 28,000 trees. In this difficult time, we need to hold each other's hands tighter and weather the storm together."

Shen said that Huawei has experienced a certain impact on its global supply chain amid the pandemic, despite factories shuttering around the world, through its global network of facilities.

More generally, the channel boss said that Huawei is looking to expand the number of core enterprise sales partners it works with, having already grown from 500 in 2011 to 22,000 today.

It also has partners categorised in other areas, including solutions and services.

The vendor is hoping to help build a new generation of IT workers, through a $10m training initiative this year, which partners can be involved with.

The Huawei Academy Development Initiative Fund aims to train 700,000 people in IT by 2023.

Shen said Huawei wants to bolster its channel in the UK and will work with prospective partners to build out their capabilities.

"Most of our partners are major players in their respective fields or customers' listed partners," he explained.

"We preferentially choose partners with integration, solution development, installation, and maintenance capabilities."
