5G: Breakout or Break-in Technology

Presented by

Sam Aiello, Principal Security Solution Architect- Verizon

About this talk

The impact of 5G technology continues to expand. Today’s cyberattacks can already evade mobile network security, and simply making legacy security run faster is not an effective strategy. Complicating the picture is that the 5G security architecture has been designed to integrate 4G equivalent security into the 5G system bringing with it its own set of vulnerabilities. As operators densify their networks, 5G will significantly affect both the wireless and wireline side of the network infrastructure and this evolution further expands the threat landscape by increasing the number of intrusion points. A more intelligent and powerful network infrastructure known as Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) is taking hold. It’s the concept of a cloud-based application or service not necessarily needing to pass through a cell tower on its way back to a cloud data center but runs entirely within the cell making local security all that more important.
