Securing private networks in the 5G era
Please complete the form below or register for a free public account to access this report.
The combination of cloud, data and IoT security threats means security risks are greater in the 5G era. The pandemic has also intensified ransomware attacks and cybercrime more generally. A key challenge for operators offering 5G-based services is ensuring that they have sufficient knowledge or tools to tackle upcoming security vulnerabilities.
Around two thirds of operators currently sell private wireless networks to enterprise customers, with the rest planning to do so by 2025. Nearly half of these operators consider it extremely important to invest in security to achieve a long-term enterprise revenue goal. Having a strategy for building up security credentials will be key in supporting these plans. As the M&A route is available to only a few, the majority will partner to offer a portfolio of security solutions.

Telco security in Qatar: an asset-driven response
As 5G becomes the foundation of Qatar's digital economy (powering finance, e-government, smart transport and critical infrastructure), the importance of securing networks extends beyond consumer protection to national security and economic stability.
Staying one step ahead: the rapidly changing global telco threat landscape
This report marks GSMA Intelligence’s second comprehensive assessment of cybersecurity risks facing telecoms organisations. It identifies the most significant cyberthreats currently impacting telcos worldwide, how the threat landscape and industry readiness have shifted over the past year, and the strategies and tools that operators are adopting to strengthen their defences. Alongside headline data points, the report highlights key best practices and actionable recommendations that can help further enhance security measures across the industry.
Connectivity trends in robotics: 5G and cellular IoT are only just emerging
From a telecoms perspective, robotics was recognised early on as a key future use case during the planning and rollout of 5G around seven years ago. With 5G-Advanced now commercially deployed in early-adopter countries, it is timely to evaluate 5G’s real-world impact on robotics. We also explore how complementary technologies such as edge computing, IoT and eSIM are shaping the connectivity landscape.
