Report cover titled “Security and privacy in 6G mobile” by CSIRO Data61, featuring a rural landscape with two mobile towers under a clear blue sky.The emergence of sixth generation (6G) mobile networks brings new capabilities in connectivity, sensing, and automation, alongside a more complex security and privacy landscape.

This report, developed by CSIRO, outlines key risks and research-led approaches to help industry navigate the transition to 6G securely and responsibly. CSIRO’s work is structured around four themes: consumer privacy and security, safe and secure protocols, safe and secure infrastructure software, and secure spectrum management. CSIRO also built a radio frequency test and collaboration platform. 

The transition to 6G presents both opportunities and challenges. By embedding security and privacy into the design and deployment of future networks, and by fostering collaboration across government, academia, and industry, Australia can help shape a resilient and secure digital future. CSIRO’s research offers tools, insights, and platforms to support this journey.
