The change in sanctions may mean that services used by Huawei devices and software updates may, for some products, cease. Devices which can no longer be supported with updates, or access services and app stores, are at increased risk of becoming compromised by criminals if a security vulnerability is discovered. Owners of these devices are encouraged to follow advice which can be found on the NCSC website: <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncsc.gov.uk%2Finformation%2Fhuawei-advice-what-you-need-to-know&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cncscparliament%40ncsc.gov.uk%7C65ab42768f5b44bc133c08d84b66b19a%7C14aa5744ece1474ea2d734f46dda64a1%7C0%7C0%7C637342251723920851&amp;sdata=FZ0m35k7rBk5iUq2eebhCQ6B%2FMENB8R6uK4gssm5tFk%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Huawei advice: what you need to know</a>, and organisations where employees use personal Huawei devices to access business data and applications, such as email, instant messaging, and office applications, should refer to the NCSC <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncsc.gov.uk%2Fcollection%2Fmobile-device-guidance%2Fbring-your-own-device%23section_3&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cncscparliament%40ncsc.gov.uk%7C65ab42768f5b44bc133c08d84b66b19a%7C14aa5744ece1474ea2d734f46dda64a1%7C0%7C0%7C637342251723920851&amp;sdata=WLlVPHpGnbMMYp6zO1Uyxp7uH6N%2BD83VbnUSADOWXkM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">guidance on BYOD</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The NCSC regularly updates its advice and guidance for individuals, families and businesses on a range of cyber security related topics.
