The NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE)—working with communications and cybersecurity collaborators—is addressing these challenges by developing example solution approaches for safeguarding 5G networks. Using our 5G testbed, the project is demonstrating cybersecurity and privacy measures drawn from 5G standards and cybersecurity practices. Today, the NCCoE is releasing the draft Executive Summary, NIST SP 1800-33 5G Cybersecurity Volume A. As the first volume of the practice guide, this document summarizes the most significant cybersecurity and privacy recommendations identified thus far from our research on this project. For more information, project goals and implementation details are being documented in a second NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide Volume B. In addition, detailed information on 5G cybersecurity and privacy capabilities is also being published as part of a white paper series. Abstract The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is collaborating with technology providers and other companies on a project to develop example solution approaches for safeguarding 5G networks. These solutions use combinations of cybersecurity and privacy measures drawn from 5G capabilities and recommended practices. Details of the project’s goals and implementation, including its technologies and architectures, along with testbed observations and findings are being documented in a NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide. As the first volume of the practice guide, this document summarizes the most significant cybersecurity and privacy recommendations from the other volumes. Detailed information on 5G cybersecurity and privacy capabilities is also being published as part of a white paper series.
