"The Hidden Cost of Untrusted Vendors in 5G Networks" The introduction of the 5G mobile communications standard will bring about a technological revolution for business, industry and society. As a result, trustworthiness and sovereignty over this new supercritical infrastructure are being hotly debated on a national and European level. The policy paper reveals the hidden costs caused by untrusted vendors in 5G networks. The presentation will take place on the 16th of March at 2pm (CET).

"Based on different threat scenarios, this brief study outlines the effects on the transport modes road, rail and waterways and determines the resulting need for action for rail freight transport. The terminals for multimodal transport are of particular importance in this context. Possible measures such as the provision of reserve capacities and thus the pricing of risks when determining the optimal utilisation of the transport networks or the creation of emergency schedules for freight transport that can be implemented immediately will be critically reflected upon."

"The Hidden Costs of Untrusted Vendors in 5G Networks" In this policy paper, the authors explain why the security of 5G networks is of greater significance for the economy than was the case with 4G. They outline the costs associated with building networks using untrusted technology, and try to measure those costs where posible. In the appendix country studies are included for Germany, France, Italy, and Portugal.
