The Federal Office for Information Security is funding cybersecurity projects for 5G/6G technologies
The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is supporting four new research projects dedicated to cybersecurity in 5G and 6G technologies. The aim of these projects is to develop secure and resilient networks, improve industrial security standards, and detect threats in real time.
One of these projects is 5G-HyprMesh, which is developing secure and resilient 5G mesh networks intended for use particularly in the field of smart mobility. Another project, BaseSec, focuses on developing a hardware security component for 5G/6G base stations to increase the trustworthiness of this infrastructure.
The CSII – Cyber Security for Flexible and Interconnected Industry– project, which also involves research institutions and companies from North Rhine-Westphalia, focuses on cybersecurity in German industry. By establishing an IT/OT testing laboratory, companies will be given the opportunity to comprehensively test and validate their digitalization solutions.
The initiative is rounded off by the RADARSproject, which is developing AI-based anomaly detection for 5G/6G networks. This technology aims to detect and defend against threats at an early stage, further enhancing network security.
With these projects, the BSI is providing crucial impetus to ensure the security of future communication networks and thus create the basis for a secure digital infrastructure.
