Dell Exec: Security, Training Key to 5G Development

The federal government must work on information technology, security and workforce transformation to unlock the potential of 5G technology, according to Rob Silverberg, Dell's chief technology officer of digital communities. Silverberg said the government needs to balance the three elements to develop 5G infrastructure capable of virtualization, open-networking and storage, Executive Biz reported.

He added that technology leaders must facilitate the deployment of automated security frameworks in all end devices in step with network modernization.

Silverberg also stressed the importance of training the workforce's skills in DevOps, domain security, computer science and data analytics in developing 5G networks.

"5G transformation will not be an overnight or simple upgrade, but a gradual architectural evolution,” he said.
