On May 24th, the Resource Center for State Cybersecurity featured a panel of experts from AT&T for a conversation on understanding the 5G ecosystem, security risks, supply chain resilience and the challenges and opportunities that exist around deployment.
The talk highlighted top 5G security areas of concern. The top three being:
- Increased attack surface due to massive increase in connectivity
- Greater number & variety of devices accessing the network
- Complexity of extending security policy to new types of non-traditional and IoT devices
Some of the Security Advantages with 5G are highlighted as follows:
