5G Cybersecurity for Policymakers Training Workshop is a 2-day training workshop on 5G cybersecurity and Cyber threats for policymakers and non-technical professionals and officers. 5G will have a tremendous economic impact on global economy and expected to enable $13.2 trillion in economic output by 2035 according to Qualcomm.

The 5G cybersecurity workshop discusses analysis and development of 5G policies and standards to serve as the foundation for securing 5G services and infrastructure. Participants will learn how to facilitate secure deployment and commercialization of 5G technologies to prevent attempts by threat actors to influence the design, architecture and implementation of 5G networks.
