Securing the journey to 5G
The journey to 5G security has long started for the Communication Service Providers (CSPs) but hybrid networks with 4G/3G will co-exist for a long time, requiring comprehensive cyber security – from the edge to the core and all the way to the Internet and other operators’ networks.
Leveraging the benefits of Virtual and Cloud Native networks, CSPs are estimated to reduce operational costs (Opex) by 60% and Capital investment costs (CapEx) by 40%. However, CSPs would expect to see the resource efficiencies in the IT and technology stack as well, including cyber security. Also, 5G brings its own cyber vulnerabilities and the cyber security solutions need to be 5G-ready to secure our communication networks.

Success Story
Nokia
Nokia integrates Clavisters virtual firewall, NetShield as part of its Managed Security Services (MSS) business and combines it with its services model to offer it as a Managed Firewall Service (MFS).
“As CSPs continue to evolve their 5G plans, the expanding threat landscape and increasing sophistication of attacks across an end-to-end 5G network, a truly end-to-end and well-integrated network security has become more important than at any other point in the history of telecom.” – Vishal Sahay, Head of Managed Security Services, Nokia.
