Abstract

5G is a major transformational technology, the impact of which will largely be on enterprises and government users. This is a radical change from previous generations of mobile technology, including 3G and 4G, which were arguably largely used by consumers. In contrast, 5G will enable digital transformation of entire industry sectors and government activities and will come to underpin entire economies. Security technologies used in the past (and in many current networks) are incapable of securing the 5G opportunity of the future. Security for 3G and 4G was not focused on detecting and preventing attacks on all layers, all locations/interfaces, all attack vectors and all software life cycle stages. For example, there are no security mechanisms in 3G and 4G networks that can detect and prevent attacks from infected devices/botnets. This paper explains why, given the mission criticality of 5G, its security must be enterprise-grade. The paper further explains what ‘enterprise-grade’ security means.
