  "bluf": "This document introduces the white paper series titled Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities, published by the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) 5G Cybersecurity project. The series addresses the challenge that 5G introduced new security capabilities in the standards focusing on securing interoperable interfaces rather than the underlying IT infrastructure. This creates gaps and options in specified cybersecurity and privacy protections that complicate how organizations assess, deploy, and supplement security for 5G systems. The 5G standards do not specify protections for the underlying IT components, and the security controls that are defined are left to implementation and deployment decisions. This lack of specification increases complexity for organizations planning to leverage 5G.\n\nThe series is intended for technology, security, and privacy program managers, including potential private 5G network operators, commercial mobile network operators, and organizations using and managing 5G-enabled technology. The core obligation for these organizations is to make cybersecurity risk management decisions regarding the use, management, and maintenance of 5G. To address this, the NCCoE is developing example solution approaches for safeguarding 5G standalone networks. Each paper in the series provides implementation guidelines and testbed-derived findings for individual technical cybersecurity or privacy capabilities, intended to support risk-based decisions for organizations deploying, operating, or relying on 5G networks.",
