Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a
set of four 5G educational videos<https://www.cisa.gov/5g-library> to enhance
the awareness and importance of the safe and secure development and deployment
of fifth generation (5G) infrastructure.
The transition to 5G will catalyze the development of new and improved
capabilities, services, and technologies across the National Critical
Functions<https://www.cisa.gov/national-critical-functions> (such as to the
ability to provide wireless access network services). Those functions, in turn,
support virtually every critical infrastructure sector. Along with these
advancements comes an increase in vulnerabilities that malicious actors can
exploit to target U.S. national security, economic security, and other national
interests as well as the security interests of our global partners.
CISA brings industry, academia, government, and other stakeholders together to
understand the complexity of 5G implementation and to work together to identify
risks and mitigate vulnerabilities. These videos are part of CISA's plan for
building national resilience through public awareness and engagement campaign.
The four videos provide an overview of CISA's 5G Strategy to promote 5G
security and resilience; the vulnerabilities and risks associated with 5G; the
unique characteristics of 5G low band, mid band, and high band networks; and
use cases for how 5G is transforming the way we communicate.
No single entity can solve the myriad of issues that 5G implementation may
cause. We must all work together to ensure a more secure and resilient 5G
tomorrow.
