Ericsson’s Radio Access Network (RAN) technology development processes are fully compliant with the new 3GPP/GSMA Network Security Assurance Schemes (NESAS) standards.
NESAS is jointly defined by 3GPP and the GSMA and provides an industry-wide security assurance framework. This facilitates improvements in security levels through 20 defined security requirements for the development and product lifecycle processes of network products.
Per Narvinger, Head of Product Area Networks, Ericsson, says: “Our security assurance framework is an important part of us doing business in a responsible way, and we are pleased to announce that we are fully compliant with the new NESAS network security global standards. 5G is a critical national infrastructure that provides extraordinary innovation possibilities and security is vital for 5G’s deployment across the world. We will continue to work tirelessly to drive open, global and interoperable security standards.”
Ericsson’s NESAS compliance processes underwent a complete audit by a GSMA-approved, independent auditor.
