5G Is Here — and it’s Still Vulnerable
High-speed 5G mobile data networks are still a work in progress, but they've already started rolling out in some US cities. As researchers comb through the 5G standard to see if it delivers on both lightning speed and on improved security, they're finding that it still needs some shoring up.
The researchers found that they could determine things like which devices are smartphones, tablets, cars, vending machines, sensors, and so on. Then, that information could allow attackers to identify and locate devices, particularly in a situation where they already have a target in mind, or are looking for a less common model. Simply put, the diversity of 5G applications and their scale, throughput, and latency requirements still make the task of ensuring the safety of our data from present and future threats challenging.
AI Needs Your Data - and You Should Get Paid for It
A common challenge in AI development is securing volumes of data for AI training. A project out of the University of California-Berkeley seeks to pay patients for their data. Can the industry change its current models of data sharing?

Communitech Data Hub Sessions: 5G Security for the Present and the Future
Wednesday, September 25 2019 | 11:45 a.m. – 1 p.m. ET
5G represents a fundamental redesign of the internet standards and effectively transforms the internet to be natively mobile. It’s poised to be one of the most significant leaps forward in network technology when it’s fully implemented and, yet, many business leaders underestimate the technology and its disruptive potential. 5G will enable users to access more data faster with wider coverage and more stable connections. 5G also has the potential to reshape industries and enable solutions to broader social challenges. As we expand our use of mobile networks, how will we ensure our data and transactions remain secure? Join us for a conversation with Mark Pecen, COO at ISARA Corporation, who will cut through the misconceptions and marketing hype to present the facts on the security of 5G infrastructure and the importance of ensuring our data remains safe from present and future threats.
