ONLINE
This online Webinar between Europe and New Delhi, India, called by the European Commission (DG CONNECT) and the Indian Government (Department of Telecom), aims to create a platform for discussion on the security risks and challenges emerging from new mobile communications technologies.
Safety and security of telecommunication networks have been a matter of concern to the international community for decades. However, recent technological advancements (transition to 5G and beyond) and increased prevalence of mobile technologies in daily lives of citizens and in the economy are making the need to address possible vulnerabilities to all forms of attacks all the more urgent and important. Some of these attacks could lead to denial of service, loss of integrity and confidentiality. Securing and protecting these networks from attacks is thus an essential element for the prosperity of nations.
For two decades, EU and India have been cooperating on digital policies, and it is therefore natural for both sides to work together towards trusted, safe and secure telecom networks, which will help in further strengthening their economies. The objective of the webinar is to create a platform for discussion on the security risks and challenges emerging from current and new technologies and create a regular exchange of best practices to respond to these challenges in order to ensure safe and secure connectivity to the citizens and businesses.
The Webinar, called by the European Commission (DG CONNECT) and the Indian Government (Department of Telecom), will be organised with the logistical support of the EU-funded International Digital Cooperation - ICT Standardization project.
Participation upon invitation only.
