Security in 5G Networks
TPR1054x | Expert-Led Live | 5G Core | 3
Course Duration: 4 hours
5G networks provide connectivity to a massive number of devices, enabling many vertical industries to provide wireless connectivity anytime anywhere. This poses security threats from many sources. 5G network security needs to include wireless, transport and IT network security approaches. This course provides a broad technical overview of 5G network security.
Intended Audience
This course is intended for planning, engineering, and systems integration teams.
Objectives
After completing this course, the learner will be able to:
■ Identify various security threats to 5G networks
■ Sketch the security framework in 5G RAN, core, transport and interconnect networks
■ Identify common security techniques between 5G security and IT networks
■ Step through very high-level 5G operations of authentication, encryption, ciphering, etc.
■ List key 5G-specific security enhancements
