"ESF Members, NSA and CISA Publish the Fourth Installment of 5G Cybersecurity Guidance"

The National Security Agency (NSA) and the US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have published the fourth installment pertaining to securing the integrity of 5G cloud infrastructures titled "Ensure Integrity of Cloud Infrastructure." As the popularity of 5G networks and devices continues to grow, it is essential to bolster platform security to strengthen systems against malicious cyber activity and persistence. The guidance was created by the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC) Cross Sector Enduring Security Framework (ESF) Working Group, which is a public-private working group led by NSA and CISA. It provides cybersecurity guidance that addresses high-priority threats faced by the nation's critical infrastructure. The guidance provided by the document covers platform integrity, build time security, launch time integrity, and microservices infrastructure integrity. Jorge Laurel, NSA Project Director for ESF, has emphasized the importance of implementing cybersecurity mitigations at the foundation level and carrying them forward in order to have a secure 5G core. This article continues to discuss the 5G cybersecurity guidance provided by the Ensure Integrity of Cloud Infrastructure document.
