Member states encouraged to complete implementation within months Germany takes key steps but doesn’t single out Chinese vendors The European Union is pressing its member states to “complete the implementation of the EU 5G Toolbox, a comprehensive and objective risk-based approach for the security of 5G and future generations of networks” as part of a new cybersecurity effort by the regional power. The EU has unveiled a new Cybersecurity Strategy that aims to create a “shield” around the region and key to this effort are measures to ensure the security of 5G network rollouts and operations, for which the EU 5G Toolbox, first published in detail in January 2020, has been designed.
