The Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a strategy Monday to defend U.S. 5G networks against threats.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0CISA 5G Strateg<\/a>y outlines five \u201cstrategic initiatives\u201d to secure the buildout of 5G systems, which include supporting 5G policy and standards development that stops malicious actors from influencing the design of new systems, expanding awareness of supply chain threats to 5G systems to minimize vulnerabilities, and working to strengthen and secure existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n CISA Director Christopher Krebs wrote in the report that he saw 5G development as the \u201csingle biggest critical infrastructure build the world has seen in 25 years,\u201d highlighting the need to build security into a system that will support essential services.<\/p>\n \u201cGiven 5G\u2019s scope, the stakes for safeguarding our networks could not be higher,\u201d Krebs wrote. \u201cThe vulnerabilities that will come with 5G deployment are broad and range from insider threats to cyber espionage and attacks from sophisticated nation-states.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNow more than ever, trust in our services and the underpinning equipment is paramount,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The release of the strategy comes after\u00a0President Trump<\/a>\u00a0released a \u201cNational Strategy to Secure 5G<\/a>\u201d in March. The new CISA 5G strategy is aligned with Trump\u2019s plan, with both focusing on risk management, stakeholder engagement, and technical assistance to address threats to 5G systems.<\/p>\n \u201cMy Administration is committed to protecting America\u2019s national security, promoting our prosperity, and preserving our civil liberties and democratic ideals,\u201d Trump wrote in the administration\u2019s 5G strategy. \u201cEnsuring the security, reliability, and trustworthiness of our 5G infrastructure is essential to these endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Cybersecurity...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-science-tech","category-u-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27609,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27608\/revisions\/27609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
