SAND5G EU project

5G -and beyond- networks provide a strong foundation for EU’s digital transformation and are becoming one of the Union’s key assets to compete in the global market. Since 5G (and its future evolutions, 6G etc.) offers the fabric that connects EU systems and services, critical infrastructures, economy, etc., it is imperative to focus on the security, privacy, and trust challenges that surface due to their open, disaggregate and interoperable underlying technology solutions. Securing 5G networks and the services running on top of them requires high quality technical security solutions and also strong collaboration at the operational level. The main aim of SAND5G is to deliver a risk and impact assessment platform for 5G to support a) 5G stakeholders secure their systems and services b) National Authorities and Member States’ Regulators overview the security status and applied measures that implement their national cybersecurity strategies and legislation, in line with European 5G cybersecurity policies and proposed EU toolbox for 5G security.
