Please REGISTER in below as the seat are limit ed.\n\nSoftware Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualizati on (NFV) are the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G. Telecom op erators and service providers can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of servi ce (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and rap id service creation\, these offer both security opportunities while also i ntroducing additional challenges and complexities\, in some cases. With th e rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now started t he trial deployment of network function virtualization\, especially with t he introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access and core networks.\n\nThese include elements such as virtualized Evolved Packe t Core (EPC)\, virtualized IP Multimedia Services (IMS)\, Virtualized Resi dential Gateway\, and Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls. However\, ver y little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualizatio n. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS\ , TIA) have started looking into the many security issues introduced by SD N/NFV\, additional work is needed with larger security community involveme nt including vendors\, operators\, universities\, and regulators. This tal k will address evolution of cellular technologies including 5G but will fo cus on various security challenges and opportunities introduced by 5G netw orks such as network virtualization\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, and so ftware defined networking. I will highlight some of the ongoing activities within the standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment use case scenarios. In addition\, I will also describe some of the ongoing ac tivities within IEEE 5G initiative and various ways one can get involved i n this standardization activity.\n\nThis event is a part of a series of IE EE events held in South Africa:\n\nIEEE SDN/NFV Workshop\, CSIR Pretoria\, 18 Sep 2018 https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/176742\n\nIEEE Distinguished Lectures Tour\n\n“Mobility Handover Optimization Framework & IEEE 5G In itiative” on 17 Sep\n\n- University of Johannesburg at 12PM https://even ts.vtools.ieee.org/m/176694\n- University of Pretoria at 3PM https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/176711\n\n“Security in SDN/NFV & 5G Networks” on 2 1 Sep\n\n- University of Cape Town at 10AM https://events.vtools.ieee.org/ m/176702\n- Stellenbosch University at 2PM https://events.vtools.ieee.org/ m/176697\n\nThe events are being registered for ECSA CPD (Continuous Profe ssional Development) points.
