Insights from Billington <strong>Cyber</strong>security Summit <strong>2023</strong>:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Enhanced Threat Surface of 5G/6G & IOT<br />

By Dr. Torsten Staab, PhD, RTX Principal Technical Fellow<br />

From September 5th to September 8th of <strong>2023</strong>, Billington <strong>Cyber</strong>security hosted its 14th annual<br />

<strong>Cyber</strong>security Summit in Washington, D.C.<br />

Among my fellow Raytheon executives, I was given the honor of joining senior leadership from the U.S.<br />

government and its allied partners, along with other industry and academic partners to discuss some of<br />

today’s most pressing national security issues. On the second day of the conference, I myself participated<br />

in a panel discussion titled, “Breakout C4: <strong>The</strong> Enhanced Threat Surface of 5G/6G & IoT,” which explored<br />

the implications of telecommunication capabilities on cybersecurity as true 5G networks and several<br />

billion more internet-connected devices become a reality. Detailed below are some of my insights<br />

regarding this topic and the key points that were discussed during the panel.<br />

It is estimated that the number of internet-connected IoT devices could reach 30 billion by 2030. With an<br />

exponential increase of commercial and industrial IoT devices and systems, concerns have been<br />

naturally raised regarding IoT vulnerabilities. <strong>The</strong>se can include a wide range of different threats, such<br />

as a lack of secure update mechanisms, use of components from questionable suppliers, weak or<br />

hardcoded passwords, unprotected Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), unencrypted data<br />

transfer or storage, insufficient data privacy protections, and lack of device management. And as we<br />

begin to more widely deploy, embed, and rely on interconnected IoT devices and sensors, the basic<br />

building blocks needed to improve security must be upleveled. Such security measures should include<br />

Zero Trust by design and promote secure boot, secure firmware and application updates, continuous<br />

authentication and authorization, secure communications, data encryption (at rest and in transit), and<br />
