Upcoming Webinar
5G Networks Security Through the Lens of SAND5G
Wednesday, April 30th, 2025 @ 15:00 EES
Why Attend?
The SAND5G project, short for “Security Assessments for Networks and Services in 5G,” is a European Union-funded initiative focusing on developing a risk and impact assessment platform tailored for 5G networks. The goal is to enhance the security and compliance of 5G infrastructures and services with EU and national cybersecurity policies.
As the adoption of 5G networks accelerates, security has become a critical concern for telecom providers, policymakers, and businesses. SAND5G is at the forefront of addressing these challenges by creating innovative tools and strategies to improve cybersecurity in next-generation networks and support National Authorities and Member States’ Regulators overview the security status and applied measures that implement their national cybersecurity strategies and legislation.
This webinar is a must-attend for:
- Telecom providers & network operators looking to secure their 5G infrastructures.
- Cybersecurity professionals seeking insights into emerging threats and mitigation strategies.
- National Authorities and Member States’ Regulators interested in the proper uptake of EU and national cybersecurity strategies and legislation.
- Policy & regulatory experts navigating the EU 5G Cybersecurity Toolbox.
- Academics & researchers exploring innovative risk assessment techniques.
- Businesses leveraging 5G technology and seeking to strengthen their cybersecurity.
What Will Be Covered?
- Insights from Experts: Learn about 5G security risks, the EU’s Cybersecurity Toolbox, and how SAND5G contributes to strengthening network protection.
- Innovative Risk Assessment: Discover advanced machine learning (ML) approaches and technical tools for identifying and mitigating threats in real time.
- Public-Private Collaboration: Learn how government agencies, industry leaders, and academia can work together to improve 5G security.
