AIOTI online presentation of the Device-Centric IoT Security Risk Spectra Mapping Tool
2022-07-14 15:00 - 17:00
Content
When focussing on IoT and other connected devices and taking a risk-perspective to those, a methodology to do high-level quality risk classification is to have a multi-layered approach and do such risk classification per spectrum, starting with the risk classification of the connectors and connectivity of the IoT device itself, thereafter with the risk classification of functionalities, et cetera. Up to 17 spectra have already been identified.
AIOTI WG Standardisation and WG Policy & Strategy together with certain relevant external organisations, has been developing a Device-Centric IoT Security Risk Spectra Mapping Tool. It provides guidance on the multi-layered and holistic risk classification of IoT Devices by means of said IoT security risk spectra methodology, risk level definitions and related IoT security risk mapping.
In this webinar, AIOTI IoT Security Taskforce Leaders, Arthur van der Wees and Jacques Kruse Brandao will explain how it was developed, and how it works.
The document can be found here and the mapping tool here.

The presentation will be held on 14 July starting at 15.00h CEST and is free to attend, you can join here:

Workshop on 6G KPIs and how to measure them
2022-09-28 09:00 - 12:00 | Online Event, WEBINAR
Workshop description
The 5G PPP Test Measurement and KPI Validation work group (TMV WG) invites you to join a workshop to reflect on 6G KPIs and how to measure them.
Before EUCNC, the 5G PPP TMV released a white paper on “Beyond 5G/6G KPIs and Target Values” based on input from 5G PPP ICT-52-2020 (ICT-52) projects. In this paper, KPIs from the ICT-52 projects were collected, described, and related to existing 5G KPIs. Where available the target values for 6G were provided.
In the paper the KPIs were clustered in KPI families based on type and the area that the KPI concerns. As most of the ICT-52 projects were in an early stage at the time of the paper creation, some of the KPI definitions and the target values and measurement techniques were often not fully defined.
The target of this workshop is to discuss the KPI definitions and which measurement techniques exists to monitor them. The workshops also intend to identify potential support for the ICT-52 projects. The workshop will also be the kick-off of the next iteration of the white paper on “Beyond 5G/6G KPIs and Target Values” where the aim is to further refine target values and the measurement techniques, again based on input from the ICT-52 projects and the 5GPPP TMV working group.
We invite all participants to inform us if they would like to contribute to the workshop by September 9th, 2022.

We are witnessing a progressing softwarization of telecommunication networks driven by the increasing impact of information and Internet technologies. This softwarization has driven and accelerated two types of convergence: on the one hand, the convergence of fixed and mobile networks; on the other hand, with the rise of 5G networks, the convergence of telecommunications and the Internet, particularly when looking at the Internet of things.
Although international standards are key for defining reference architectures, interfaces, and protocols, we can notice that the diversity of application domains and their related value chains and business models is creating a huge complexity and slowing down the early exploitation of technological innovations in this highly converging and articulated landscape. More pragmatic and innovative approaches might be needed to build agile future networking infrastructures, which will meet and dynamically adapt to the various evolving vertical demands, also enabled by the agile softwarization of the next-generation networking and Internet infrastructures. For example, emerging private enterprise and campus networks could be seen as a market-driven approach to bypass to the mainstream public network evolution, acting as a catalyst for accelerating agile innovations. Emerging open network approaches and the concept of disaggregation of network functionalities will pave the way for new, more open, and less rigid networking ecosystems. In this perspective, also the exploitation of emerging AI/ML techniques for networking are going to accelerate the process, by enabling automated network management/optimization and by allowing even non-experts to build and operate their own customized next-generation networks.
Many of the above mentioned trends are associated with 6G research, but they are already emerging right now in the context of 5G evolution, with significant impacts on next-generation networking evolution. This symposium aims at focusing on the evolution of network softwarization towards the provisioning of customized and dedicated end-to-end networks, with personalized and dynamics QoS management/SLAs, also in presence of pervasive utilization of virtualization/containerization techniques over networking infrastructure nodes, while decoupling the discussions from a specific mobile network generation. In this perspective, the symposium has the ambition of identifying the primary challenges and opportunities in building up secure and reliable open networking environments for ensuring a rapid, efficient, and sustainable digital transformation of our industries and our society.

Sept. 19, 2022 – 5GZORRO is pleased to present in this Final Event, the latest results and outcomes on the ambitious goal stated at the initial stage: to define solutions for the 5G evolution in longer terms, having Zero-touch automation, security, and trust among multiple parties through blockchains, network slicing across ubiquitous computing and connectivity as key aspects of the investigation.
The main objective was to share our innovative approach to:

Share and discover heterogeneous types of resources, in particular spectrum, virtualized radio access, virtualized edge/core, software defined WAN across multiple operators and infrastructures.
Multi-party agreements to build distributed and pervasive 5G infrastructures, from data centres down to edge and far edge computing.
Full automation of network and service management (zero-touch network and service management).
Coexistence of Cloud-native and traditional IaaS network functions (containers, service meshes, microservices).
Distributed Ledger Technologies for spectrum sharing and cross-operator/cross-domain service chains

In these past 36 months, due to the very innovative nature of the core topics covered by 5GZORRO research, the Consortium has worked very hard and invest a significant amount of resources in generating awareness and visibility for its results, both within the scientific community working on 5G and within network industry, operators, regulators, SMEs.
Since 5G has demonstrated to be one of the main catalysts of the pervasive digitalisation of our society: ultra-high bandwidth, low latency, increased density, and continuity of connectivity for various Vertical industries (Media, eHealth, Smart Cities, Digital Factories, etc.), the step forward is to achieve intelligent connectivity and to implement it without limits.
During the 5GZORRO Final Event, we aim to show more about the 5GZORRO innovative platform and speak with experts about the incredible opportunities offered by our proposals.
