Service providers and other vertical industries (e.g.\, Connected Cars\, IOT\, eHealth) can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without co mpromising the end user quality of service (QoS). While NFV and SDN open u p the door for flexible networks and rapid service creation\, these also o ffer both security opportunities while also introducing additional challen ges and complexities\, in some cases. With the rapid proliferation of 4G a nd 5G networks\, operators have now started the trial deployment of networ k function virtualization\, especially with the introduction of various vi rtualized network elements in the access and core networks. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS\, IEEE) have star ted looking into the many security issues introduced by SDN/NFV\, addition al work is needed with larger security community including vendors\, opera tors\, universities\, and regulators.\n\nThis talk will address evolution of cellular technologies towards 5G but will largely focus on various secu rity challenges and opportunities introduced by SDN/NFV and 5G networks su ch as Hypervisor\, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)\, SDN controller\, orc hestrator\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, edge cloud\, and security functi on virtualization. This talk will introduce a threat taxonomy for 5G secur ity from an end-to-end system perspective\, potential threats introduced b y these enablers\, and associated mitigation techniques. At the same time\ , some of the opportunities introduced by these pillars will also be discu ssed. This talk will also highlight some of the ongoing activities within various standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment use cas e scenarios for security including threat taxonomy for both operator and e nterprise networks.\n\nSpeaker(s): Professor Ashutosh Dutta\, \n\nFaculty of Engineering and Environment\, Northumbria University\, Newcastle upon T yne\, England\, United Kingdom\, NE1 8ST\, Virtual: https://events.vtools. ieee.org/m/250046 LOCATION:Faculty of Engineering and Environment\, Northumbria University\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, England\, United Kingdom\, NE1 8ST\, Virtual: https: //events.vtools.ieee.org/m/250046 ORGANIZER:hoa.le-minh@northumbria.ac.uk SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:Security in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks Opportunities and Challenges URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/250046 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Talk Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>Sof tware-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) a re the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G and beyond that promi se to support emerging applications such as enhanced mobile broadband\, ul tra-low latency\, massive sensing type applications while providing the re siliency in the network.
