Please REGISTER in below as the seat are li mited.\n\nSoftware Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualiz ation (NFV) are the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G. Telecom operators and service providers can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of se rvice (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and rapid service creation\, these offer both security opportunities while als o introducing additional challenges and complexities\, in some cases. With the rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now starte d the trial deployment of network function virtualization\, especially wit h the introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access a nd core networks.\n\nThese include elements such as virtualized Evolved Pa cket Core (EPC)\, virtualized IP Multimedia Services (IMS)\, Virtualized R esidential Gateway\, and Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls. However\, very little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualiza tion. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, AT IS\, TIA) have started looking into the many security issues introduced by SDN/NFV\, additional work is needed with larger security community involv ement including vendors\, operators\, universities\, and regulators. This talk will address evolution of cellular technologies including 5G but will focus on various security challenges and opportunities introduced by 5G n etworks such as network virtualization\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, and software defined networking. I will highlight some of the ongoing activit ies within the standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment use case scenarios. In addition\, I will also describe some of the ongoing activities within IEEE 5G initiative and various ways one can get involve d in this standardization activity.\n\nThis event is a part of a series of IEEE events held in South Africa:\n\nIEEE SDN/NFV Workshop\, CSIR Pretori a\, 18 Sep 2018 https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/176742\n\nIEEE Distinguis hed Lectures Tour\n\n“Mobility Handover Optimization Framework & IEEE 5G Initiative” on 17 Sep\n\n- University of Johannesburg at 12PM https://e vents.vtools.ieee.org/m/176694\n- University of Pretoria at 3PM https://ev ents.vtools.ieee.org/m/176711\n\n“Security in SDN/NFV & 5G Networks” o n 21 Sep\n\n- University of Cape Town at 10AM https://events.vtools.ieee.o rg/m/176702\n- Stellenbosch University at 2PM https://events.vtools.ieee.o rg/m/176697\n\nThe events are being registered for ECSA CPD (Continuous Pr ofessional Development) points.
