Presentation Title:
A Unified Standard for Cyber Security Assessment
5G will be one of the key drivers for the digital economy, powering ultra realistic virtual and augmented experiences, redefining vertical industries with automation, and connecting more people and things than ever before. In light of 5G’s larger role, the GSM Association and 3GPP have jointly established the Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme, that while voluntary, intends to launch an ongoing security improvement program that is focused on mobile network infrastructure equipment and introduces a security baseline for the mobile industry that will serve as a foundation to improve vendor security, transparency and operator confidence.
