Cybersecurity standards and their industry applications – A telecom industry example

The mobile networks are playing a central role in our society by serving close to 8 billion subscriptions worldwide.  These networks are parts of national critical infrastructure in many countries. Security is an important aspect for these networks where a minor interruption may result in major impacts on individuals, governments, and organizations.

Security standards are one of the existing approaches to protect mobile networks and their users through commonly agreed, tested, verified, and updated solutions according to best common practices.

National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and the ISO 27001 Information Security Standard are two of existing standards having industry-leading approaches to security.

In this seminar, we will go through these two standards and provide a high-level comparison between them, an overview of how they can be used by vendors, and an example application to mobile networks
