5G network security: the Commission approves the set of EU instruments and define the next steps

/ 0 Comments /

The Commission has approved the set of common instruments in the form of measures to reduce the risk agreed by EU Member States in order to deal with security risks related to the deployment of mobile networks fifth generation (5G). Esto es consecuencia del llamamiento del Consejo Europeo en favor de un planteamiento concertado en esta materia y la subsiguiente Commission recommendation de marzo de 2019. Member States have since determined the risks and vulnerabilities nationwide and have published a joint risk assessment of the EU. Through this "toolkit", Member States undertake to move forward together on the basis of an objective assessment of the risks identified and mitigation measures proportionate. Con la Communication adoptada hoy, Commission launches the appropriate measures within its sphere of competence and calls for measures to be taken to the key here 30 de abril de 2020.

Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president responsible for a Europe adapted to the Digital Era, ha declarado: "The 5G networks allow us to do many things. This technology enables a personalized medicine, precision agriculture and energy networks that can integrate all types of energy from renewable sources. So things will change for the better, but they will only do if we can guarantee the security of our networks. Only then digital changes will benefit all citizens'.

Margaritis Schinas, vice president responsible for promoting our European way of life, ha declarado: "A true Union Security is protecting citizens, businesses and critical infrastructure in Europe. 5G networks will be an innovative technology, but they can not be detrimental to the security of our internal market. The instrument cluster is an important step in what must be a permanent effort of the collective efforts of the EU to better protect our critical infrastructure '.

Thierry Breton, Internal Market Commissioner, ha declarado: "Europe has everything to lead the technology race: both in the development or deployment of technology 5G, our industry has come a long way from the starting position. Today we equip the EU Member States, telecommunications operators and users the tools to build and protect a more demanding European infrastructure to meet safety standards, in order to fully enjoy all of the potential offered by 5G networks'.

While the market agents are largely responsible for the safe deployment of 5G networks, and Member States are the national security, the security of these networks is a matter of strategic importance for the whole of the single market and technological sovereignty of the EU. It is essential to closely coordinate the implementation of the toolkit to ensure that businesses and citizens of the EU can take full advantage of the new technology safely.

5G networks will play a key role in the future development of the digital economy and society in Europe. They greatly facilitate future digital services in key areas of life of citizens and serve as important basis for digital transformations and ecological. With estimated worldwide revenues of 5G networks encrypted 225 000 million in 2025, These networks are a key asset for Europe to compete in the world market, and cybersecurity is essential to ensure the strategic autonomy of the Union. These networks affect thousands of millions of objects and connected systems, in key sectors such as energy, transport, banking and health, as well as industrial control systems containing sensitive information and serve as support for security systems.

Al mismo tiempo, because less centralized architecture, the power of intelligent computing toe, the need for more antennas and a greater reliance on software, 5G networks offer more access points attackers. Cybersecurity threats are increasing and becoming more complex. Since many essential services will depend on the 5G networks, ensure their safety is of utmost strategic importance for the whole EU.

Una new Eurobarometer survey, también publicada hoy, It indicates that knowledge of cybercrime is growing, since the 52 % of respondents declared to be pretty good or knowledgeable on the subject, frente al 46 % in 2017.

Conclusions on the set of EU instruments

Member States have adopted the set of instruments under the Cooperation Group for the security of networks and information systems. The toolkit addresses all risks identified in the assessment coordinated EU, including those related to non-technical factors, such as the risk of interference agents third country or supported by these through the supply chain 5G networks. The toolkit, whose base is the informe de evaluación de riesgos released by the EU last October, It includes strategic and technical measures, along with corresponding actions to strengthen its effectiveness and whose calibration responds to objective factors.

In the conclusions on the instrument cluster, Member States agreed to strengthen safety requirements, assess the risk profiles of suppliers, apply the relevant restrictions on suppliers considered high risk, including the necessary exclusions for key assets considered critical and sensitive (such as basic network functions), and have strategies to ensure the diversification of suppliers.

While decisions on specific security measures remain the responsibility of Member States, collective work on the toolkit demonstrates a firm determination to jointly respond to challenges in network security 5G. This is essential for the approach to security of these networks adopted by the EU is effective and credible, and to ensure that the opening of the internal market, provided that security requirements are respected EU risk-based.

The Commission will support the implementation of the EU approach on cybersecurity of 5G networks and act, as requested by Member States using, if, all instruments at its disposal to ensure the safety of infrastructure and supply chain of these networks, a saber:
• normativa sobre telecomunicaciones y ciberseguridad;
• coordinación en materia de normalización, certification and EU level;
• marco de control de las inversiones extranjeras directas para proteger la cadena de suministro europea de las redes 5G;
• instrumentos de defensa comercial;
• normas de competencia;
• contratación pública, ensuring that issues are properly taken into account security-related;
• programas de financiación de la UE, ensuring that beneficiaries meet the relevant safety requirements.

Próximas etapas

The Commission urges Member States to take measures to implement all the measures recommended in the conclusions of the toolkit from here to the 30 de abril de 2020 and to prepare a joint report on the implementation in each Member State by the 30 June 2020. In collaboration with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, the Commission will continue to provide its full support, especially by implementing relevant actions in the fields of competence. The Cooperation Group for network security and information systems seguirá trabajando en apoyo de la aplicación del conjunto de instrumentos.

Context

To support the deployment and adoption of 5G networks, la Comisión presentó un 5G Action Plan en septiembre de 2016. En la actualidad, Europe is one of the most advanced regions of the world in regards to the commercial launch of 5G, with an investment of 1 000 millones de euros, of which 300 million are in charge of EU funds. Later this year, se espera que los primeros servicios 5G estén available in 138 European cities.

The 26 de marzo de 2019, tras el call of the European Council, la Comisión adoptó una Recommendation cybersecurity of networks 5G en la que se pedía a los Estados miembros que completaran las evaluaciones nacionales de riesgos, review their national measures and cooperate in a coordinated risk assessment and a common set of measures to reduce these. Los Estados miembros completaron su national risk assessment y presentaron sus resultados a la Comisión y a la Agencia de la Unión Europea para la Ciberseguridad. En octubre de 2019, el Grupo de cooperación para la seguridad de las redes y sistemas de información publicó un coordinated EU report, in which determined the principal risks and threats, the most sensitive assets, the main vulnerabilities, technical and other, and a series of strategic risks. The report highlighted a number of security issues related to networks 5G, and defined factors to assess the risk profiles of different providers. In November 2019, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity developed a panorama completo de las amenazas a las redes 5G como aportación adicional al conjunto de instrumentos.
