"ESF Members NSA and CISA Publish Second Industry Paper on 5G Network Slicing"

The National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which are Enduring Security Framework (ESF) partners, have published an assessment of 5G network slicing. ESF is a public-private cross-sector working group led by NSA and CISA, that recognizes three keys to ensuring the security of this developing technology: Security Consideration for Design, Deployment, and Maintenance. According to Lauren Wyble, NSA's Technical Director for Network Infrastructure Security, this document represents an initial step in capturing the current but evolving landscape of network slicing. It catalyzes initiating meaningful conversations regarding the potential use cases for network slicing. 5G network slicing is a network architecture that enables mobile service providers to break their network into multiple separate ones in order to construct unique virtual networks for different clients and use cases. The release builds on threat and security considerations previously published by the ESF. This article continues to discuss the assessment of 5G network slicing published by ESF Members NSA and CISA.
