The British Academy offers the 5G Network Security Training Course, designed to provide professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to secure 5G networks from emerging threats. It covers topics within 5G network architecture, including component types such as Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core Network, and security frameworks and threats associated with 5G environments. Attendees will consider the challenges and solutions in RAN security implementation; cryptographic techniques including encryption and key management; privacy and identity management in 5G infrastructures. The course provides a comprehensive grounding in this expanded set of security requirements and mechanisms used in 5G.

The course also elaborates on a critical aspect of 5G: namely, network slicing, and its implications on security. It also prepares professionals in threat detection and incident response through practical-shared tools and techniques to address the impacts of such threats. Future trends in 5G security relating to issues like AI and machine learning will be discussed in this course. At the end of this course, learners will be sufficiently prepared to handle the complex problems of 5G network security.

The main objectives of 5g training course is to:

1. Understand both the architecture as well as the core components of 5G networks. 

2. Analyse and identify the unique security risks and potential vulnerabilities within the 5G environments.

3. Protect the 5G network elements such as radio access networks (RAN) and core networks with security measures.

4. Investigate cryptographic techniques and their application in 5G security.

5. Explore, analyse, and mitigate threats originating from hackers, cybercriminals, and insider threat actors in 5G environments.

6. Implement best practices in privacy, identity management, and data protection within 5G networks.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for:

1. Network engineers or telecommunications security professionals with related certifications. 

2. IT professionals involved in the deployment and management of 5G networks. 

3. Cybersecurity experts interested in learning specific details about security in 5G. 

4. Telecoms, mobile service providers, and other businesses that want to improve their 5G network security protocol.

How will attendees benefit?

Attendees of the 5G Network Security Training Course will benefit in several key ways:

1. Understanding the Depths of 5G Architecture: Attendees gain knowledge imparting their understanding of basic critical components of 5G networks.

2. Security Skills Enhancement Training: The attendees thus develop requisite skills for protecting 5G networks in line with security risks associated with, among others, network slicing, cryptography, encryption, and key management, thereby ensuring protection of critical infrastructure from emerging threats. 

3. Hands-on experiences: Practical exercises and case studies drawn from real-life situations will provide attendees with an opportunity to get first-hand experience of activities in threat detection and incident response, sharpening skills for responding to security breaches in a 5G environment.

4. Expertise on Privacy and Identity Management: Attendees will also learn how to implement rigorous privacy along with managing identity access control and essentially protect sensitive user data in 5G networks.

5. Future-Proofing Security Skills: The future of 5G security is well-covered by the course content which includes future trends in 5G security such as; integrating AI and machine learning, all intending to keep the attendees updated with changes in 5G security. 

6. Career Advancement: A certificate on 5G security would provide a career booster to a participant in an already competitive field by enhancing their professional credentials further so as to position himself or herself as an expert in a fast-emerging area while opening avenues for new careers in telecommunications and cybersecurity.
