ISACA outlines risks and benefits of 5G technology
As 5G technology continues to be rolled out worldwide—providing latency of a mere 1 millisecond—it is critical that information security professionals become familiar with 5G system architecture and security architecture, as well as the risks that come with implementing new cellular technologies. ISACA’s new white paper, 5G Security: Addressing Risk and Threats of Mobile Network Technologies, explores these topics, and compares 5G technology with 4G and previous generation cellular technologies.
The paper also identifies the new risks introduced through implementing 5G technology, and how 5G security features address threats posed by the technology, which can include bidding down attacks, exploitation of user plane integrity and abuse of remote access.
