He is currently Chief 5G Strategist at The Johns Hopkins Universit y Applied Physics Labs and serves as associate research professor and the director of Doctor of Engineering program at Johns Hopkins University in a ddition to his teaching. His past career spanning more than 30 years\, inc ludes Director of Technology Security and Lead Member of Technical Staff a t AT&T\, CTO of cybersecurity company NIKSUN\, Senior Scientist in Telcord ia Research\, Director of Central Research Facility at Columbia University \, and Computer Engineer with TATA Motors. Ashutosh has published more tha n 110 papers\, IEEE-Wiley book on Handoff Optimization\, 6 book chapters a nd has 31 issued patents.\n\nAs a Technical Leader in 5G\, Ashutosh has se rved as the founding Co-Chair for the IEEE Future Networks (https://future networks.ieee.org/)\, IEEE Connecting The Unconnected ([ctu.ieee.org](http ://ctu.ieee.org/)) and IEEE 5G/6G Innovation Testbed ([testbed.ieee.org](h ttp://testbed.ieee.org/)). Ashutosh served as IEEE Communications Society ’s Distinguished Lecturer for 2017-2020. He has served in IEEE Communica tions Society’s director of Industry Outreach Board (2014-2019) and has been serving as Member-At-Large (2020-2025). He initiated and organized mo re than 90 5G Summits around the world ([www.5gsummit.org](http://www.5gsu mmit.org/)) and has served as founding Co-Chair of IEEE Future Networks Wo rld Forum (https://fnwf2025.ieee.org/) since 2018. Ashutosh has served as Workshop Co-Chair in ICC and Industry Forum and Exhibits Co-Chair in Globe com. His most notable awards include\, 2022 North American Region Exceptio nal Service Award\, 2009 IEEE MGA Leadership award\, 2022 IEEE-USA George F. McClure Citation of Honor\, and IPv6 Hall of Fame in 2024. Ashutosh is a Distinguished Alumnus of NIT Rourkela with BS in Electrical Engineering\ , MS in Computer Science from NJIT\, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering f rom Columbia University under the supervision of Prof. Henning Schulzrinne . Ashutosh is a Fellow of IEEE\, Distinguished member of ACM\, Fellow of A AIA\, and Member of National Academy of Artificial Intelligence. Ashutosh is currently a candidate for IEEE Communication Society's VP of Conference s.\n\nAbstract: Next generation cellular networks such as 5G and 6G promis e to support emerging applications such as enhanced mobile broadband\, mis sion critical applications for the first responder\, remote surgery\, and industrial IOT among others. While Network Function Virtualization and Sof tware Defined Networking open up the door for programmable networks and ra pid service creation\, these also offer both security opportunities\, and introduces additional challenges and complexities. The talk focuses on var ious security challenges and opportunities introduced by 5G enablers such as Hypervisor\, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)\, SDN controller\, orches trator\, network slicing\, cloud RAN\, edge cloud\, and virtual security f unction. This talk introduces threat taxonomy for 5G security from an end- to-end system perspective including\, interfaces\, protocols\, potential t hreats introduced by these enablers\, and associated mitigation techniques . Additionally\, this talk highlights how AI/ML can help enhance security features of these networks and elaborates some adverse effects of AI/ML. F inally\, the talk introduces some of the ongoing activities within various standards communities including open source consortiums\, large scale NSF testbeds\, and illustrates a few deployment use case scenarios.\n\nSpeake r(s): Ashutosh\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487714 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487714 ORGANIZER:swen@ieee.org SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY: Please Join Ashutosh Dutta on 5G Security and AI/ML – Opportunit ies and Challenges: Careers in Technology URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/487714 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Please join Dr. <span class="il">Ashutosh< /span> Dutta\, Chief 5G Strategist \, founding Co-Chair for the IEEE Futur e Networks \, speech on&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>5G Security and AI/ML &ndas h\; Opportunities and Challenges.&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal ">Bio:&nbsp\;<span class="il">Ashutosh</span>&nbsp\;Dutta\, Chief 5G Strat egist and Director of Doctor of Engineering Program\, Johns Hopkins Univer sity</p>\n<p><strong><br></strong><span class="il">Ashutosh</span>&nbsp\;b rings in a unique blend of industry and academic experience.
