Course Overview
This course provides a rigorous and comprehensive exploration of 5G security, covering the threat landscape, architectural vulnerabilities, and defense strategies for today's hyperconnected world. As 5G networks underpin critical industries including healthcare, utilities, finance, and national infrastructure, the stakes for securing these networks have never been higher. Participants will examine the 5G security architecture as defined by 3GPP, identify known and emerging attack vectors targeting 5G RAN, core, and edge environments, and learn to implement robust security controls and best practices. The course also addresses regulatory compliance, security standards, and the development of a holistic security strategy to protect data, networks, and users in an era defined by billions of connected devices.
Course Objectives
- Understand the 5G network architecture and its specific security design principles as defined in 3GPP Release 15 and beyond
- Identify the key threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors targeting 5G RAN, core network, and edge computing components
- Apply 5G security protocols, standards, and encryption mechanisms to protect network communications and user data
- Evaluate regulatory and compliance frameworks governing 5G security including GSMA guidelines and national cybersecurity policies
- Design and implement a comprehensive 5G security strategy to safeguard infrastructure, connected devices, and data in a hyperconnected environment
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of 5G technology fundamentals or completion of a 5G introductory course is recommended
- Foundational knowledge of cybersecurity concepts including threats, encryption, firewalls, and network defense
- A background in IT, networking, telecommunications, or information security is beneficial but not strictly required
