The Pentagon’s security concerns around 5G are pretty well-known and a high priority. But the time it will take to field 5G capabilities is also a major concern, according to a top Navy tech official.
“5G is, I would say, not innately insecure, but it’s another network to secure. And zero trust is a piece of that,” said Michael Galbraith, the Navy’s chief digital innovation officer, during a Cloudera and Fedscoop event on April 19. “So security is big…And then just given my background, probably the most important concern I have is time to market. It’s not not a term you hear a lot in DOD.”
