Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

5G networks are being rapidly deployed globally promising higher bandwidth, more connectivity, and less latency. While these features will have benefits to society, greater reliance on ubiquitous high-speed, high-bandwidth connectivity comes with increased demand to secure 5G networks. The time to embed greater security to mitigate threats before they occur is now.

In this course, you will learn why 5G networks represent a distinct and major evolutionary phase in wireless mobile communication. More importantly, you will understand why 5G networks need greater protection and improved security to deliver the full potential of 5G. This course is focused on 5G security in current and future deployments of mobile communication networks. You will learn about 5G security standards and enhancements that focus on improving security. Further, you will understand why the use of virtualized network functions and containerized network functions results in the adoption of security practices used in information technology. Particular focus will be provided for Open RAN and private wireless networks.

By the end of this course, you will understand the need for built-in security for 5G networks and learn about best practices and standards to meet the goal of the most secure, most protected wireless network possible.

Brian Newman

Brian Newman has worked for the three largest telecommunications companies in the US over the last 30 years. His experience has been in both wireless and wireline networks, focusing on deploying systems, improving operations, and transforming business processes. He has certifications from the Project Management Institute, Scaled Agile, and Verizon in Lean Six Sigma. In 1998, he received a US Patent [#5,835,907], which supported the initial integration of GPS data and cellular networks, leading to the use of smartphone geolocation and mapping that is common around the world today. Newman sees 5G as genuinely transformational and, as such, it has to have security that will enable it to provide less latency, higher bandwidth, and support for millions of concurrent attached devices. He is deeply involved in building and constructing 5G networks that have the right infrastructure from Day 1.
