DESCRIPTION:Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtuali
 zation (NFV) are the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G. Teleco
 m operators and service providers can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible
  and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of s
 ervice (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and
  rapid service creation\, these offer both security opportunities while al
 so introducing additional challenges and complexities\, in some cases. Wit
 h the rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now start
 ed the trial deployment of network function virtualization\, especially wi
 th the introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access 
 and core networks. These include elements such as virtualized Evolved Pack
 et Core (EPC)\, virtualized IP Multimedia Services (IMS)\, Virtualized Res
 idential Gateway\, and Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls. However\, ve
 ry little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualizati
 on. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS
 \, TIA) have started looking into the many security issues introduced by S
 DN/NFV\, additional work is needed with larger security community involvem
 ent including vendors\, operators\, universities\, and regulators. This ta
 lk will address evolution of cellular technologies including 5G but will f
 ocus on various security challenges and opportunities introduced by 5G net
 works such as network virtualization\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, and s
 oftware defined networking. I will highlight some of the ongoing activitie
 s within the standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment us
 e case scenarios. In addition\, I will also describe some of the ongoing a
 ctivities within IEEE 5G initiative and various ways one can get involved 
 in this standardization activity.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ashutosh Dutta\, \n\n
