    Hi All,

    NIST/NCCoE Releases Preliminary Draft of SP 1800-33 Volume B, 5G Cybersecurity: Approach, Architecture, and Security Characteristics.
    Commercial mobile network operators, potential private 5G network operators, and organizations using and managing 5G-enabled technology will find SP 1800-33 Volume B of particular interest.

    As 5G rolls out more widely, we must safeguard the technology from cyberattacks as 5G development, deployment, and usage continuously evolves. The NCCoE is addressing these challenges by collaborating with the industry to design and implement examples of practical solutions that operators and users of 5G networks can use to mitigate 5G cybersecurity risks.

    Our solutions build upon the work of the NCCoE's Trusted Cloud project, where hardware-enabled security serves as the foundation of cloud security. We are also using a combination of 5G standards-based security features and a secure cloud-based hosting infrastructure. The result will be a commercial-grade security reference architecture for 5G networks that bridge the gap between IT and telecommunications cybersecurity capabilities.

    Other features of this volume include-
    • Why we are building the example solution to address 5G cybersecurity challenges, including a proposed risk analysis and the security capabilities that the example solution will enable and demonstrate
    • A high-level description of the reference system architecture
    • Details on the capabilities of numerous security components implemented in the lab.
