"Can 5G Make You More Vulnerable to Cyberattacks?"

5G is the next generation of wireless technology that will increase the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, industrial IoT (IIoT), and cloud services, as well as the adoption of network virtualization and edge computing. The potential security vulnerabilities associated with 5G networks must be examined and addressed before the widespread implementation of 5G technology. According to a study conducted by Accenture, most businesses and technology leaders expect there to be an increase in security vulnerabilities as the adoption of 5G technology rises. This article continues to discuss the rollout of 5G networks, the anticipated increase in security vulnerabilities because of 5G networks, and how these vulnerabilities could be addressed with the help of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide.
