In the 5G era , the nature and scale of information networks are evolving , as are the nature and scale of security threats . More avenues of attack are open to hackers , state actors and corporate espionage due to many types of interworking endpoints , extensive use of open-source software and large-scale use of 5G in a variety of industries . Network security resilience must be maintained as the attack scenarios are constantly changing .
As the central lab dedicated solely to security forensics and research , ASTaR will use and develop cutting-edge tools and techniques to assess the security resilience of 5G networks , as well as
Nokia will be one of the first companies to inaugurate a lab in the US with the singular mission of identifying and preventing cybersecurity attacks . |
their associated software , hardware and applications . ASTaR will then use these assessments to address emerging security threats and lab researchers will engage with the cybersecurity community to identify emerging threat vectors and potential vulnerabilities .
“ 5G will enable countless new services for consumers , government and businesses and the industry must be hyper-vigilant in ensuring these 5G ecosystems are secure ,” said Nishant Batra , Chief Strategy and Technology Officer , Nokia . “ To demonstrate our leadership and commitment to security , Nokia will be one of the first companies to inaugurate a lab in the US with the singular mission of identifying and preventing cybersecurity attacks . ASTaR lab will be an ideal testing ground to assess security in the larger context of network use and abuse scenarios .”

The lab will serve as a central repository for cybersecurity knowledge that will be shared across Nokia and with its operator , enterprise and government customers . In addition , Nokia will partner with customers to consider attack scenarios against networks and observe how security measures will fare against real security incursions .
ASTaR lab will be staffed by US-based specialists in cybersecurity and is located on Nokia ’ s Dallas campus . In addition , ASTaR will leverage the cuttingedge security research capabilities of Nokia Bell Labs . Nokia ’ s Dallas office also features the Executive Experience Center , Energy Innovation Center , O-RAN Collaboration and Testing Center , Cloud Collaboration Hub and Nokia Services Lab , making it a convenient destination for customers seeking a broad view of Nokia ’ s entire portfolio and capabilities . u
