Attack Surfaces For 5G Networks? by Altaf Shaik | Nullcon Berlin

This talk provides practical insights into the first phase of commercial 5G networks globally, focusing on the security issues identified in previous generations that may continue to exist in 5G. The speaker examines the major security improvements made by standardization bodies and highlights the differences in their implementations. Experimental findings illustrate the security level of 5G networks compared to earlier generations while discussing expectations for the second phase of 5G networks. Dr. Altaf Shaik, a senior researcher at the Technical University of Berlin, shares his expertise in telecommunications, specifically 5G radio access and core network security, drawing from his extensive background in programming and offensive network security.
