The presentation is an analysis of the threat landscape posed by the emergence of 5G technology. With the omnipresence of mobile technology and the need for telecommunication providers to roll out highly volatile technology or fall behind possibly forever, the speakers will discuss the benefits of leveraging an “attacker-perspective” when conducting a threat landscape assessment for the roll out of 5G technology. Utilizing their combined experience in cybersecurity working within telecommunication organizations, they have applied a combination of open and closed source research to create a picture of the likely relevant threats, actors and their TTPs, who would target an organization deploying 5G. They have then mapped each actor separately in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, combined them with an exposure/likelihood weighing, and mapped them back to the organization’s cyber defences, to create a “Master Matrix”.This matrix is designed to help technology leadership gain ‘big picture’ visibility on the threats facing their remit, make focused, tactical decisions on new investments, and better align red and blue team resources to cover the most critical areas of the digital landscape.
