Session Three | Securing 5G Networks with Zero Trust

The rapid deployment of 5G networks has unlocked unprecedented connectivity for businesses, but it has also introduced new security challenges. One of the most critical threats is the cellular man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where an attacker intercepts and manipulates data traffic between a mobile device and the network. As organizations increasingly rely on 5G to power their remote workforces, IoT devices, and edge computing, the need for robust security frameworks has never been greater. This is where Zero Trust architecture comes into play. In this session, we will explore how Cradlepoint’s 5G solutions, combined with Zero Trust principles, safeguard against cellular MITM attacks by continuously verifying the identity of users and devices, securing data traffic, and ensuring that no trust is granted without verification.

Attendees will learn how to protect their 5G-enabled infrastructures and maintain secure, reliable connectivity in a constantly evolving threat landscape.
*Cellular MITM Threats in 5G Networks: Explore how man-in-the-middle attacks exploit 5G vulnerabilities to intercept and manipulate data, compromising critical business communications. *Zero Trust Architecture: Learn how Zero Trust principles continuously authenticate users and devices, ensuring secure connectivity by minimizing implicit trust in the network.
*Ericsson's 5G Security Solutions: Zero Trust with its 5G solutions to safeguard against cellular MITM attacks, protecting businesses from evolving cyber threats.

Session Seven | Trust Issues: Securing Your Firmware Before It Ruins Your Supply Chain

Firmware has several definitions, and just hearing the word can invoke tension and stress for IT admins and security professionals. Firmware lives, among other places, under the hood of your shiny servers, networking gear, and endpoints. We tend to assume it is secure—until it isn’t, and your supply chain becomes a buffet for attackers. In this session, we’ll peel back the layers on why Zero Trust isn’t just for the network and apps—your infrastructure needs some love, too. Attackers are like water, always taking the path of least resistance, targeting network appliances and vulnerabilities below the operating system to extend their foothold on compromised systems. Zero Trust at the firmware level can keep those sneaky threats out and show you how to build a security plan to protect against pre-operating system threats that aren’t just duct tape and wishful thinking. Visibility into not only your devices but all of the components inside your devices makes all the difference. IT, security, and procurement teams must work together to stop gear from being compromised before it gets to their data center. So, grab your whiskey, tune in, and get ready to make your supply chain suck a whole lot less.
