On day two of Mobile World Congress (MWC),
CTIA hosted a panel on "Promoting Security in a 5G
World." The panel discussed ongoing efforts by regulators
and the ways that the wireless industry is responding to a changing
cybersecurity ecosystem. Panelists from Ericsson, AT&T,
Qualcomm, and SecureG provided expert insights into the complex
cybersecurity regulatory environment.
When it comes to cybersecurity, the wireless industry is hard at
work. The panel highlighted that the sector "works well with
others," with several panelists stressing the importance of
collaboration and public-private partnerships as particularly
important. The industry has collaborated closely with the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on developing and
updating the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) regarding its customer proprietary
network information (CPNI) rules, and the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
