Security in Open RAN

5G and Open RAN enable new capabilities and control points that allow suppliers, test equipment manufacturers, wireless carriers, and network operators to assess, mitigate and manage security risks efficiently.

This paper details how O-RAN enables operators by giving them full visibility and control of their network’s end-to-end security. Security topic highlights:
• Open RAN security based on zero-trust architecture
• Secured communication between network functions
• Secure framework for Radio Intelligent Controller
• Secure platform for network elements
• Key Open RAN security differentiators
