Currently, we reside in a society that depends on networks. However, it is about to become one that runs on networks, thanks to the 5G revolution. 5G will combine with other key disruptors such as artificial intelligence, the cloud, machine learning and robotics, to transform even the most tangible social activities into digitally enabled ones. There will hardly be a single critical infrastructure, industrial segment or public service that won’t run via 5G.
That said, anyone who works in security acknowledges that it’s hard not to get butterflies when they read those words. If the computer engineering career is compromised, the consequences can prove endless. Moreover, the more indispensable 5G networks become, the bigger the prize awaiting hackers and hostile foreign and domestic agents. This explains why governments are extremely cautious about how they choose to deploy 5G. Every aspect of government operations, including essential services and national defense, are potentially vulnerable if 5G security fails.
