W A S H I N G T O N, D C My fellow Americans: Fifth generation wireless technology, or 5G, will be a primary driver of our Nation’s prosperity and security in the 21st century. This new technology will provide consumers, businesses, and governments with remarkably fast network connections that will enable tens of billions of new devices to harness the power of the Internet, transforming the way we live, work, learn, and communicate. This advancement, however, also ushers new risks and vulnerabilities. Malicious actors are already seeking to exploit 5G technology. This is a target-rich environment for those with nefarious motives due to the number and types of devices it will connect and the large volume of data that those devices will transmit. This National Strategy to Secure 5G articulates my vision for America to lead the development, deployment, and management of secure and reliable 5G communications infrastructure worldwide, arm-in-arm with our closest partners and allies, including:  Facilitating domestic 5G rollout;  Assessing the risks and identifying core security principles for 5G infrastructure;  Managing the risks to our economic and national security from the use of 5G infrastructure; and  Promoting responsible global development and deployment of 5G infrastructure. My Administration is committed to protecting America’s national security, promoting our prosperity, and preserving our civil liberties and democratic ideals. Ensuring the security, reliability, and trustworthiness of our 5G infrastructure is essential to these endeavors. This strategy explains how we will do just that.
