Complex Security Risks of 4G to 5G Evolution

Over the years, the market demand for the change in wireless networks has come at a neck-breaking pace as the internet of things, smartphones, tablets, laptops and other forms of computers have rapidly become a way of being and a way of life. It is because of this market demand and the widening gap between the current and desired state of the wireless networks, that the mobile industry is undergoing a major technology transformation.

As we see today, from smart cities to smart homes, smart autos to smart healthcare, smart enterprises, and more, there is a need for fast and ubiquitous network access that connects cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). As the digital global age advances, wireless networks will need to handle mobile computing and communications needs of not only individuals and entities across NGIOA but also billions of internet of things, internet of everything, and internet of nano-things devices and machines across CGS.

As the digital global age draws near, along with the growing volume of data traffic and variety of innovative digital services, the opportunities and challenges for next-generation 5G technologies will likely increase to unseen-before levels (4G). As entities across NGIOA, independently and collectively navigate their way towards supporting a 5G connected CGS world, its complex security risks are becoming a cause of great concern.

The time is now to take the security of 5G infrastructures seriously into consideration. The time is now to talk about 5G security risks!
