Chapter Meeting: The 5G Opportunity: New Risks Call for New Approaches to Cybersecurity

5G is being hyped as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). “There has never been a time of greater promise, or one of greater potential peril.”- Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum. With opportunity comes risks. 5G extends the current 3G/4G LTE environment. With that brings the vulnerabilities of the old, and zero-day vulnerabilities of the new. 4IR brings massive numbers of machines, autonomous vehicles, and factory floor industrial automation controls- the attack surface expanded as never seen before. Hackers could use this newfound attack surface as never witnessed before. In this session, we’ll explore these elements and more as we usher in the next Industrial Revolution.

·  Governance for managing 5G use cases and application risk

·  5G ecosystem and subsystem & infrastructure vulnerabilities

·  Consideration of zero-day vectors and their implications
