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…

Now we start with 5G and the security priorities 
F5 news

Around half of the mobile network operators are already installing their own 5G network or are planning to do so in concrete terms and are also setting security priorities. This is shown by a worldwide IDG survey of service providers on behalf of F5. Currently, almost no provider has a dedicated 5G core network. Such standalone networks are likely to spring up like mushrooms: 18 percent of the network operators surveyed installed a 2020G standalone core at the end of 5, and a further 29 percent want to follow soon. Of the European participants, 21 percent are working on a 5G standalone core, and a further 21 percent are in the planning phase. Europe is not far behind Asia, ...

5G: Security challenge for smart factory environments
5G: Security challenge for smart factory environments

Study: 5G poses a security challenge for smart factory environments. Trend Micro Research highlights various proof-of-concept attacks on connected systems in the study “Attacks From 4G/5G Core Networks: Risks of the Industrial IoT in Compromised Campus Network ”. Trend Micro, one of the world's leading providers of cybersecurity solutions, has released a detailed study revealing emerging threats to 4G/5G campus networks. Many of these take advantage of the difficulties organizations face when patching critical OT environments. Attack scenarios on 5G networks The study describes several attack scenarios and possible protective measures. The test environment mimics the conditions of a smart factory campus network. "The…
