CISA Releases 5G Strategy

On Monday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released its strategy to ensure the security and resilience of fifth generation (5G) technology in the United States. According to the release, CISA’s 5G Strategy seeks to advance the development and deployment of a secure and resilient 5G infrastructure, one that promotes national security, data integrity, technological innovation, and economic opportunity for the United States and its allied partners. The Strategy outlines five initiatives that align to the Lines of Effort defined in the National Strategy to Secure 5G. CISA’s 5G activities endeavor to ensure there are policy, legal, security, and safety frameworks in place to fully leverage 5G technology while managing its significant risks. To complement the Strategy, CISA includes a 5G Basics Infographic, a bird’s eye depiction to educate stakeholders on challenges and risks associated with 5G. In addition, the Agency plans to publish critical infrastructure sector-specific 5G risk profiles in the coming months. Read more about the Strategy at CISA
