The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently launched a research and development project for a Secure and Resilient Mobile Network Infrastructure (SRMNI).
DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) are seeking innovative approaches and technologies to improve the security and resilience of critical mobile communications networks against threats and vulnerabilities.
Proposals should focus on 2G, 3G and 4G network protections or on building security into 5G networks. Proposals also can focus on approaches to improve government visibility of network traffic.
“The newly created SRMNI R&D project will lead the government’s development of innovative solutions and technologies to protect legacy, current and 5G mobile network communications, services, and equipment,” William N. Bryan, senior official performing the duties of the under secretary for science and technology, said. “The project will provide a comprehensive approach to S&T’s Mobile Security R&D focus on securing all aspects of mobile communications through public-private partnerships.”
Threats and vulnerabilities to mobile network infrastructure were addressed in a DHS study on mobile device security. The study recommended government funding to address challenges regarding the federal adoption of mobile technologies and recommended developing cooperative agreements with the private sector.
The deadline for proposals is June 26.
