Network Security Course Leads to Nokia Certification

August 23, 2021

Nokia Bell Labs 5G Secured Networks course, part of the company’s program to train and certify industry professionals on 5G technology from network access to application management, addresses vulnerabilities faced by industries, governments and individuals to secure 5G wireless communications systems.

“Securing 5G networks has moved to the forefront as an industry imperative, for which comprehensive end-to-end solutions are needed,” a statement from Nokia reads.

Nokia said that the eight-hour web-based course, which can be completed at the learner’s own pace, covers the processes, tools, technologies and resources needed to implement an effective program that proactively prevents and resolves threats to network security. Course participants will examine the role of 5G security in network, software and cloud environments, and they will apply an understanding of security threats, protections and potential responses through a series of real-world case study exercises, according to the company.

“The Nokia Bell Labs 5G Certification Program offers professionals across the information and communications technology industry two levels of certification – associate and professional – that deliver essential knowledge covering everything from the basics of 5G networks to professional level planning and design,” the company said.
