Cybersecurity platform with protection for 5G environments
Cybersecurity platform with protection for 5G environments AI- Bing

Cybersecurity specialist Trend Micro unveils its platform-based approach to protecting enterprises' ever-expanding attack surface, including securing 5G deployments. In the coming years, private 5G networks will cover a wide range of facilities, from corporate campuses to smart factories to shopping malls. However, they also pose new risks arising from complex network function virtualization (NFV), challenges in information technology and operational technology (IT/OT) convergence, unprotected IoT devices, and new implementations of 5G communications technology (CT). Covering Expanded Attack Surfaces Such a large attack surface requires holistic security across IT, OT and CT environments to manage...

Businesses are looking for security solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing 5G technologies. According to Trend Micro, the market for cybersecurity of private 5G networks will grow to $2027 billion by 12,9. Trend Micro publishes the results of its new report "Beyond Secure by Default" in cooperation with the analyst house Omdia. The study shows that the majority of companies invest 5 to 10 percent of their IT budget specifically in the security of private 5G networks, although they assume that the technology is already more secure by default than previous standards such as 3G, 4G and LTE. More safety…

Companies need 5G technology for their work processes and many are already using it. But Sophos wanted to know more and asked the companies: for around three quarters it is clear: 5G needs special security measures. But only 50 percent use them. 87,4 percent of all companies surveyed state their need for 5G in order to connect and network the Internet of Things (IoT) and Operation Technology (OT) in operation. When looking at smaller companies with up to 500 employees, this value even increases to 91 percent. This and other findings in the field of 5G security found…

Is 5G a security risk for OT?
Is 5G a security risk for OT?

5G: Until recently, OT (Operational Technology) infrastructures were designed as isolated, shielded environments, disconnected from the corporate network - with the result that cybersecurity has not received much attention. With the advancement of an ever more networked factory, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the latest 5G mobile communications standard, companies can no longer avoid implementing security concepts for their production facilities that are equivalent to those they already do in the classic IT environment. In principle, the integration of new technologies always entails potential security risks. Private 5G is safe - isn't it?...

NetCloud with zero-trust security for 5G and SD-WAN  
NetCloud with zero-trust security for 5G and SD-WAN

Cradlepoint has announced NetCloud Exchange: a cloud-native solution built on policy-driven Zero Trust principles, delivering multiple SD-WAN and security services. The extension of the NetCloud management software enables companies with private or cloud-based data centers - thanks to more IT security - to increase the possibilities of their 5G installations, to offer new services and at the same time to digitally transform their business processes. Cloud computing and mobility The digital transformation of companies requires the increasing use of cloud computing and mobility as well as the Internet of Things. However, WAN architectures have proven to be too limited and inflexible to accommodate distributed enterprise locations, vehicles, devices...

Coordinate 5G and IT security
Coordinate 5G and IT security

With 5G, you have to reconcile IT security and benefits for companies. Because digitization of companies, the future of Industry 4.0 and critical infrastructure must not become a patchwork. Palo Alto Networks is investigating how this can work. The promise of 5G is much more than just lower latency or faster speeds. 5G can lead to massive business transformation and digitization, powering the future of Industry 4.0 and critical infrastructure, and adding $14 trillion to the global economy over the next 2,2 years. 5G will become a domain…

Good security and data protection functions drive 5G networks
Good security and data protection functions drive 5G networks

A new study by Trend Micro, one of the world's leading providers of cyber security solutions, shows that improved security and data protection functions are the main motive for the expansion of private 5G networks. The disclosure of data transmitted over the wireless network is considered the greatest security concern. More and more operators of networked production plants, hospitals or other "smart" infrastructures are looking for alternatives to public 5G networks and hope for better coverage and control, low latency times and a higher level of security through private 5G networks. However, such environments have a number of security requirements that traditional…

BSI: Project funding 5G/6G cyber security
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

From May 2022, projects in the area of ​​digital sovereignty and cyber security for 5G/6G communication technologies can be funded with a funding program for research and development projects. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) implements the funding program as the implementing body for the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI). Funded projects are intended to help ensure that modern network technologies are developed and tested in order to minimize the risks of using 5G/6G technologies and close security gaps. Suitable use cases for modern network technologies in digitization are to be identified. The aim is to develop new communication technologies...

IoT and 5G: opportunities and risks for companies 
IoT and 5G: opportunities and risks for companies

Numerous companies are in the midst of digital change, which is also being driven to a large extent by the Internet of Things (IoT). However, IoT devices still have major security weaknesses, leaving organizations exposed to new cyber threats every day. Additionally, new technologies such as 5G have made IoT devices even more vulnerable to zero-day exploits and software tampering. So, with the spread of IoT, what can organizations do to protect against such attacks? A comment by Sunil Ravi, Chief Security Architect Versa Networks. IoT devices are a security risk Telecom giant Ericsson estimates it will…

5G business router with VPN for home office employees
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

The new high-speed business routers LANCOM 1926VAG-5G and LANCOM 1900EF-5G combine 5G mobile communications with state-of-the-art SD-WAN and a high level of security with VPN channels for the first time. With high speeds and low latency times, the new 5G standard offers a wide range of applications. The new high-end routers from LANCOM can use the 5G module as a backup in the event of failure of their wired access or as a high-performance stand-alone primary access. A bandwidth expansion with load distribution in the network is also possible. Closed cellular networks, so-called campus networks, with their own 5G infrastructure are ideal for extensive company premises in large-scale industrial scenarios. This "private 5G" guarantees exclusive access with the highest capacity, availability ...
