Geert Van Wauwe, Nokia's Chief Security Officer, states: "5G will power new services and applications beyond our imagination. However, user acceptance will depend on the trust that information has not been breached and services cannot be compromised. Therefore, the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Secured Networks course and certification are essential to educate professionals to a high level of understanding of how to build and operate secure 5G networks."
Sergio Fasce, Head of People Services at Nokia, comments: “With security breaches dominating news headlines at an alarming rate, the Nokia Bell Labs Secure 5G Network Certification Program brings greater awareness of network vulnerabilities and safeguards, along with the means to address them. We are delighted to have partnered with our colleagues at Nokia Bell Labs to offer a training program that addresses arguably the most timely and impactful issue facing the communications industry today.”
The self-paced, 8-hour web-based course covers the processes, tools, technologies, and resources needed to implement an effective program that proactively prevents and resolves network security threats. Participants will examine the role of 5G security in network, software, and cloud environments, and apply their understanding of security threats, protections, and potential responses through a series of real-world case studies.
The Nokia Bell Labs 5G Certification Program is a pioneering program that offers information and communication technology (ICT) professionals two levels of certification—Associate and Professional—providing essential knowledge ranging from 5G network fundamentals to professional-level planning and design. This course is the fourth in the Nokia Bell Labs 5G Professional Level Certification Program, and nearly 30,000 people from many sectors have enrolled in the 5G certification courses since their launch in February 2020.
