Preparing enterprises for 5G security risks
Access this insight with a Premium plan. Contact our sales team to get started.
In the 5G era, security risks are greater than before because of the combination of cloud, data and IoT security threats and the potential wider societal impacts. However, many enterprises deploying IoT and 5G are still uncertain of their security risk tolerance and, unless they are risk aware, will overestimate the business benefits of 5G that they are testing for. Operators have an opportunity to help enterprises become resilient, as they can offer both advisory services to help enterprises identify risks, and security metrics for monitoring and responding to risks. According to our Operators in Focus Survey 2020, there is a clear link between security-related investments and B2B success for operators; based on results in 2019, the uplift from security revenue for operators could be up to 10%.
