| Description: |
The fifth generation of mobile communications offers
enormous potential for the development of services to
citizens and businesses, making current communication
systems extremely more efficient, in terms of both
bandwidth and connection speed, and quality of
services, reliability, continuity and security more
generally.
In particular, the ¿5G slicing¿ makes it possible to
create different "lanes" on the same mobile network
infrastructure, without having to create networks
dedicated to different applications with different
technical requirements. This allows you to create
multiple virtual networks and develop the "network as
a service" model to customers with various use cases,
such as: downloading large content and high
definition video, virtual reality, autonomous
vehicles, remote surgery and IoT sensors.
Specifically, the integration of IoT devices will
pervasively enter almost all application aspects in
both the civil and military fields. In this case it
will be possible to use IOBT (Internet of the
Battlfield Things) devices also in the operational
theater, for example to monitor the physical
conditions of soldiers through sensors incorporated
in military uniforms or in bulletproof vests.
The exponential growth of IoT devices connected to
communication networks and critical infrastructures,
combined with the development of the necessary 5G
networks, is creating an environment full of
cybersecurity pitfalls, as access and connections to
IoT / 5G devices are not all compliant. to the
minimum security standards and therefore represent
possible access points and cyber attacks to the
network itself.
The seminar organized by AFCEA entitled "5G EcoSystem
and Cybersecurity in civil and military contexts"
aims to address these innovative issues, providing an
overview, both in the civil and military fields, in
an integrated cyber-security context with new
authentication techniques and encryption.
The event will also be an opportunity for Maj. Gen
(r) Erich Staudacher, General Manager of AFCEA
Europe, to award an award to the longest members of
the Rome Chapter: 15, 25, 30 and 40 years of
association. |
