5G networks present unprecedented opportunities for service providers to develop innovative offerings that help their customers stand out from the crowd. However, along with these groundbreaking opportunities come significant security concerns.
As 5G becomes ubiquitous, underpinning critical infrastructure, the consequences of a network failure can be devastating. 5G will also see an explosion in the number of devices on the network, providing more attack vectors for cybercriminals and creating complexity that can be hard to overcome. And, distributed computing enabled by 5G will make it harder to segregate networks for security.
For you to be successful as a Service Provider or a customer of a Service Provider in the 5G era, you’ll need to be able to comprehensively address these security concerns.
Join us to learn more about 5G security and how you can prepare for a new era in mobile networks. We look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive executive forum.
The Road To A Secure 5G: How Secure Are We Today?
This session will discuss industry/market trends we have seen globally in 4G networks, provide a score card on how secure they are and what we foresee for 5G networks. Are we moving into an inherently more secure network, or will old problems will get carried across? The session aims to provide you with insights on what we have seen from a number of implementations worldwide, share the themes and what we need to consider today and in a world with 5G.

Service Provider Security and Government Regulatory Trends
Government regulators are focusing on how service providers can and should be managing security risks in their country. This session will provide an overview of regulatory developments in regions including Asia, Europe, and North America and how the service providers are evolving with the new regulations. The session will provide insight as to how the regulatory landscape may change for service providers and what it may look like in Australia.

Security in 4G to 5G evolution – Are You Prepared?
Mobile operators provide the backbone for technologies that the world relies upon. These services are currently provided and managed via four distinct generations of mobile telecommunications technologies. During this session, we'll discuss signalling layer security trends and threats, data layer trends and threats, correlation between the layers, automation and 4G to 5G evolution/ phases

Security orchestration, virtualisation and automation in transition phase from 4G to 5G
Service Providers are moving away from legacy PNFs to fully virtualised environments with constantly drifting DevOps dynamics. Old-school approach where single vendor delivered racks of dedicated hardware platforms is long gone.
Today NSOs, VNFMs, NFVs and VIMs in fully virtualised environments are being mixed up like in a blender. Every customer is choosing different ingredients of the virtualised telco sandwich therefore breaking unified architecture approach.
Let’s have a closer look on how our NFV and VNFM are adopting to new interoperability requirements whether deployed in a “vanilla” end-to-end architecture or in a Frankenstein like formation.

Delivering Secure IoT Services While Protecting Networks From Cyberattacks
So you've launched your Digital Transformation Initiatives which converge and modernise IT, Internet of Things, and OT infrastructure. You've thought about the great benefits you expect to receive in terms of operational efficiencies, cost savings, profitability, and customer satisfaction, just to name a few, but how much have you thought about cyber risk and how to better manage it in these business- and often safety-critical environments?
