LGU+ Obtains Information Security Certification for 5G Core Network Operation Management

5G Network Security Enhancement Plan

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] LG Uplus has obtained international standard information security management system certification in the field of 5G core network operation management.

On the 3rd, LG Uplus announced that it received the information security management system certification (ISO27001) in the field of 5G core network operation management from DNV GL, a global certification body in information security management. This achievement follows the acquisition of the first domestic certification in the field of 5G base station operation management at the end of 2019.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard specification in the field of information security, established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Certification can only be obtained after passing an audit based on 114 management criteria across 14 areas, including information security policies and communication security.

5G is a core infrastructure connecting numerous objects and people, making secure operation management essential. If 5G, which underpins various services such as big data, AR·VR, and autonomous driving, fails to respond adequately to cyberattacks, it could pose threats to citizens' lives and safety beyond economic losses.

LG Uplus plans to continue activities to prevent security incidents with domestic and international experts while expanding the 5G network. The company intends to redefine information security regulations and guidelines and enhance its security system through audits and consulting by external professional organizations.

An LG Uplus official stated, “The security stability of 5G is a core value of the company, and we will do our best to ensure that customers can feel secure not only in the highest quality of 5G services but also in terms of information security. We will also continuously strengthen activities to prevent security incidents in the 5G communication network through verification and research in collaboration with top domestic and international experts.”
