security as part of its
5G certification
program
- Mission critical networks supported by 5G require comprehensive
end-to-end security solutions
- New course addresses the challenges faced by all industries,
governments, and individuals in securing 5G systems
19 August 2021
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced
a new professional level 5G course and certification aimed
at network
security. The
Nokia Bell Labs 5G
Secured Networks course
is part of Nokia’s program to train and certify industry
professionals on 5G technology, from network access to application
management.
The newly launched Nokia Bell Labs 5G Secured Networks course
addresses the vulnerabilities faced by all industries, governments
and individuals to secure 5G systems. Given that 5G is becoming a
key element of emerging mission-critical Industry 4.0 solutions,
securing 5G networks has moved to the forefront as an industry
imperative, for which comprehensive end-to-end solutions are
needed.
Geert Van Wauwe, Chief
Security Officer at Nokia,
said: “5G will empower new services and applications
beyond our imagination. However, user acceptance will be based on
trust that information has not been breached and services cannot be
compromised. Therefore, the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Secured Networks
course and certification are essential for educating professionals
to a high level of understanding on how to build and operate secure
5G networks.”
Sergio Fasce, Head of
People Services at Nokia,
said: “With security breaches dominating news headlines at
an alarming rate, the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Secured Networks
Certification Program brings a greater awareness to network
susceptibility and safeguards, along with the means to address
them. We are pleased to have partnered with our colleagues at Nokia
Bell Labs to deliver a training program addressing arguably the
most timely and impactful issue facing the communications industry
today.”
The 8-hour web-based course, which can be completed at the
learner’s own pace, covers the processes, tools, technologies and
resources needed to implement an effective program that proactively
prevents and resolves threats to network security. Course
participants will examine the role of 5G security in network,
software and cloud environments, and they will apply an
understanding of security threats, protections and potential
responses through a series of real-world case study exercises.
The Nokia Bell Labs 5G Certification Program is a
first-of-its-kind program that offers professionals across the
information and communications technology (ICT) industry two levels
of certification – Associate and Professional – that deliver
essential knowledge covering everything from the basics of 5G
networks to professional level planning and design. This course is
the fourth of the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Professional Level
Certification Program, and nearly 30,000 individuals across many
industries have registered for 5G certification courses since its
February 2020 launch.
As a leader in cellular technology R&D and standardization,
Nokia is in a unique position to address network security
challenges in the 5G world. Nokia has implemented more
than 500 security projects worldwide over the
past 15 years, and plays an active role in more than five
