22ND Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Cyber, 5G And Emerging Tech Threats
Dr. Dasgupta highlighted the benefits and risks of fifth-generation wireless technology (5G). Information technology, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and so on will flourish and innovate at an unprecedented rate and scale. Dr. Dasgupta, consequently, explained that 5G’s potential is transformative across industries and in both emerging and established technology—but its vulnerabilities are formidable as well. The technological revolution brought on by 5G is a matter of national security. And the U.S. Government’s responses through sanctions, export controls,
control lists, the Secure Equipment Act, agency actions, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) will need to address the national-security issues 5G presents.
