Security by design: How Verizon approaches 5G security.
5G has emerged as a powerful enabler of next-generation capabilities for the public and private sector, inspiring new and innovative use cases that deliver on the long-promised benefits of “digital transformation.” This paper examines the cybersecurity considerations related to the ever-growing adoption of 5G. It provides assurance and evidence that security -- like speed and low latency -- is a key design feature of 5G technology. This paper also explains where and why specific security controls are built into Verizon’s 5G networks -- both public and private – and how these controls align with security frameworks and policy-makers (such as CISA, 3GPP, NIST and IETF) to enhance the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive data traversing 5G networks.
