5G Core Security: Assessing Commercial Readiness

After several years of product and standards development, the deployment of the 5G Core (5GC) is now transitioning to the commercial reality phase. While this will unquestionably propel the next service innovation cycle, there are a significant number of security considerations to be addressed.

To fully understand 5GC-related security implications and challenges, Heavy Reading, in collaboration with A10, Ericsson, HPE and NetNumber, recently created and fielded a detailed 5GC security-focused survey designed to provide granular insights into 5G security readiness and deployment trends.

This webinar will provide a readout of several key survey findings. Topics to be addressed include:

Drivers that will trigger a 5G Non-standalone NSA (4G core) deployment to migrate to a 5GC SA deployment.
5GC implementation timelines.
5G security general and network layer specific confidence levels.
Key attributes of an effective 5G core network security strategy.
The role of authentication-related functions in threat detection and mitigation.
The security impacts of network slicing.
The role of automation in securing the 5GC.
5GC security feature and standards implementation timelines.
