When Dr. Anmol Agarwal isn’t pioneering the intersection of AI and cybersecurity through her groundbreaking defenses for Nokia’s 5G/6G networks, she’s mentoring the next generation as an adjunct professor at George Washington University. Her latest publication on AI security for mobile networks made waves at the world-leading IEEE SmartNets conference, where she proposed a novel Machine Learning method to defend critical telecommunications 5G/6G networks.
As an award-winning international speaker, she’s addressed audiences across five continents, furthering her quest to make complex security concepts accessible to all. Dr. Agarwal also contributes to global standards through organizations like GSMA and provides expertise to the FCC’s Communications Security Council. In 2024, she was included in Marquis’ Who’s Who Americas and awarded WomenTech Network’s “Global Awards Speaker of the Year”. This year, she is shortlisted for both “Cyber Woman of the Year” and “Cyber Personality of the Year” at the 2025 Cybersecurity Awards. These accolades reflect both her professional accomplishments and her commitment to diversity in tech – mentoring women, career-changers, and veterans through Women in Cybersecurity.
