Nex-G Innovations

The objective of the LTE and 5G Security Framework and Testing training program is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the security architectures, frameworks, and procedures defined by 3GPP and GSMA.

The program aims to equip professionals with the skills to identify and mitigate security threats across devices, RAN, and core networks, ensuring end-to-end protection. Through hands-on sessions, participants will master security testing methodologies, compliance requirements, and the use of advanced tools to validate network robustness against real-world threats, fostering the deployment of secure and resilient LTE and 5G networks.
