Ashutosh Dutta\, JHU/APL\n\nAbstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are the key pillars of future ne tworks\, including 5G and beyond that promise to support emerging applicat ions such as enhanced mobile broadband\, ultra-low latency\, massive sensi ng type applications while providing the resiliency in the network. Servic e providers and other verticals (e.g.\, Connected Cars\, IOT\, eHealth) ca n leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of service (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and rapid service creation\, these also offer both security opportunities while also introducing additional chall enges and complexities\, in some cases. With the rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now started the trial deployment of netw ork function virtualization\, especially with the introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access and core networks. While severa l standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS\, IEEE) have st arted looking into the many security issues introduced by SDN/NFV\, additi onal work is needed with larger security community including vendors\, ope rators\, universities\, and regulators. This talk will address evolution o f cellular technologies towards 5G but will largely focus on various secur ity challenges and opportunities introduced by SDN/NFV and 5G networks suc h as Hypervisor\, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)\, SDN controller\, orch estrator\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, edge cloud\, and security functio n virtualization. This talk will also highlight some of the ongoing activi ties within various standards communities and will illustrate a few deploy ment use case scenarios for security including threat taxonomy for both op erator and enterprise networks.\n\nDuring the latter part of the talk I wi ll give an overview IEEE 5G and Beyond Initiative\, various ongoing activi ties of several roadmap working groups and entail procedures to get involv ed in this initiative.\n\nBio: Ashutosh Dutta is currently Senior Wireless Communication Systems Research Scientist and JHU/APL Sabbatical Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Labs (JHU/APL)\, USA.
