DESCRIPTION:The security challenges confronting Open RAN are like those fac
 ed by contemporary RAN systems and other virtualized architectures. The di
 vision of functions in Open RAN expands the potential threat landscape. Wh
 en implementing security measures\, such as encryption\, on the Open Front
 haul Interface\, it is essential to consider the stringent latency require
 ments of the RAN. The growing reliance on open-source software in modern t
 elecommunications platforms underscores the importance of secure developme
 nt practices within open-source communities for Open RAN. In addition\, th
 e integration of AI in the RAN introduces the possibility of unforeseen co
 nsequences\, as observed in other domains (e.g.\, racially biased facial r
 ecognition). Additionally\, the substantial increase in IoT devices necess
 itates that all RAN deployments guard against the rising risk of attacks b
 y compromised devices. Acknowledging these potential security challenges a
 nd recognizing the paramount importance of a secure RAN\, this presentatio
 n will outline security requirements and solutions that empower the O-RAN 
 architecture to deliver the expected level of security for both the indust
 ry and 5G users. The discussion will also spotlight the efforts of the O-R
 AN ALLIANCE Security Task Group (STG) and O-RAN ALLIANCE Working Groups (W
 Gs) in addressing security challenges across all O-RAN interfaces and comp
 onents\, specifying\, and recommending modern\, practical security solutio
 ns.\n\n*This event is being recorded\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Future Netwo
