Companies will face 5G security issues in 2020

The beginning of 5G has attracted a lot of attention. In 2019, the competition for 5G around the world has become increasingly fierce. In 2020, the world is heading for 5G!

Recently, according to data released by IDC, the number of 5G connections in the next three years will increase from about 10 million in 2019 to 1.01 billion in 2023. By 2023, 5G is expected to account for 8.9% of all mobile device connections.

5G new vulnerabilities

Obviously 5G will excite the entire network industry, but the reality is that the overall development of 5G beyond enhanced mobile broadband is a long-term task, and 5G standards, regulations, and security have yet to be completed!

Can 5G network security keep up? As early as the deployment of 5G networks, relevant information facing network security issues has been the focus of many experts and enterprises, because network security is the bottom line for the comprehensive development of 5G!

For attackers, the most attractive targets in 5G networks are:

  • End-user equipment
  • Access network
  • Core network

5G networks and artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things will constitute a new network infrastructure. With the popularization of 5G applications in 2020, more network security issues and increased hidden dangers are also an inevitable trend.
