The 5G network is expected to deliver bandwidth intensity never before seen and to unite key parts of countries’ critical national infrastructure; however, the security picture for 5G is still evolving and key issues still remain.

As the leading global telecoms security company, AdaptiveMobile Security gives its view on the key 5G security risks that mobile operators need to focus on in order to protect these next generation networks, and the subscribers and countries using them.

Throughout this report we have identified three main areas of risk in the 5G network that we perceive to be important, as well as our recommendations for preventing attacks.

5G networks have yet to be deployed, but the first initial deployments are not far away. By following the recommendations discussed throughout the report, there is still time for mobile operators to make the 5G networks of the future secure.
