"5G Networks Present New Risks and Security Challenges"

The 5G mobile communication standard will bring improvements regarding speed, latency, and network capacity. However, as with any other new technology, 5G networks are expected to be abused by threat actors. The potential security vulnerabilities associated with 5G networks must be evaluated and addressed before the widespread implementation of 5G technology. A report on EU-wide coordinated risk assessment of 5G network security highlights the possible effects of 5G deployment, which include increased sensitivity of network equipment, a higher number of entry points for attackers, and a wider talent gap. This article continues to discuss the current state of 5G deployment, why supplier monopoly is considered a significant risk, and other possible security effects of 5G network deployment.
