5g Cybersecurity Preparing A Secure Evolution To 5g

As 5g based networks are deployed in our nation and across the world there is great promise of positive changes in the way humans and machines communicate operate and interact in the physical and virtual world.
5g cybersecurity preparing a secure evolution to 5g. 5g networks support increased cybersecurity protections through the addition of standards based features and the increased use of modern information technologies. The national institute of standards and technology nist invites organizations to provide products and technical expertise to support and demonstrate security platforms for the 5g cybersecurity. Preparing a secure evolution to 5g project. The national cybersecurity center of excellence nccoe recently released the final project description 5g cybersecurity.
The project will demonstrate how commercial and open source products can leverage cybersecurity standards and recommended practices for each of the 5g use. This project will identify several 5g use case scenarios and demonstrate for each one how to strengthen the 5g architecture components to mitigate identified risks and meet industry sectors compliance requirements. Nist is soliciting responses from all sources of relevant security capabilities to enter into a cooperative research and development agreement crada to provide products and technical expertise to support and demonstrate security platforms for the 5g cybersecurity. This project will identify several 5g use case scenarios and demonstrate for each one how to strengthen the 5g architecture components to mitigate identified risks and meet industry sectors compliance requirements.
Cellular networks will be transitioning from 4g to 5g and 5g networks will provide increased cybersecurity protections. Please see our federal register notice for more information. Cellular networks will be transitioning from 4g to 5g and 5g networks will provide increased cybersecurity protections.
