Earlier this week, the White House unveiled the National Strategy to Secure 5G, outlining a vision to lead the development, deployment, and management of secure & reliable 5G communications infrastructure worldwide, arm-in-arm with our partners. See: whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl… 
“Malicious actors are already seeking to exploit 5G technology. This is a target-rich environment for those with nefarious motives due to the number and types of devices it will connect and the large volume of data that those devices will transmit,” the President noted.
The strategy details four lines of effort: (1) facilitating the rollout of 5G domestically; (2) assessing cybersecurity risks to and identifying core security principles of 5G capabilities and infrastructure;
(3) addressing risks to US economic and national security during development and deployment of 5G infrastructure worldwide; and (4) promoting responsible global development and deployment of secure and reliable 5G infrastructure.
