\u201cMobile carriers anticipate significant revenue\nopportunities and exciting new use cases as they move forward with their 5G\ndeployments,\u201d said Gunter Reiss, Vice President of A10 Networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever, the industry also recognises that 5G\nwill dramatically raise the stakes for ensuring the security and reliability of\nthese networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNew mission-critical applications like autonomous vehicles, Smart Cities and remote patient monitoring will make network reliability vital to the safety and security of people and businesses. Meanwhile, dramatic increases in traffic rates and connected devices will significantly expand the attack surface and scale for cyber criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realising the potential of full-scale 5G\nnetworks requires major investments by carriers and payback on that spend is a\ncrucial issue for the telecommunications industry. Operators see significant\nopportunities to increase revenues and innovate new business models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top-three benefits derived from 5G:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- 67%\n– Overall growth in the mobile market<\/li>
- 59%\n– Better customer service and satisfaction<\/li>
- 43%\n– The creation of new 5G-enabled business models<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Top drivers for 5G:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- 60%\n– Smart Cities<\/li>
- 48%\n– Industrial automation and smart manufacturing<\/li>
- 39%\n– High-speed connectivity<\/li>
- 37%\n– Fixed wireless<\/li>
- 35%\n– Connected vehicles<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Assessing 5G security needs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief among security concerns are core network\nsecurity and DDoS protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- 63%\nsaw advanced DDoS protection as the most important security capability needed\nfor 5G networks<\/li>
- 98%\nof respondents said core network security was either very important (72%) or\nimportant (26%) in 5G build-outs<\/li>
- 79%\nhave or will upgrade their Gi\/SGi firewalls<\/li>
- 73%\nhave or will upgrade their GTP firewall<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOperators overwhelmingly understand the\nimportance of upgrading security in a more connected and smart world,\u201d added Reiss.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow it\u2019s time to take decisive action.\nCarriers need to move ahead aggressively with their plans to upgrade legacy\nDDoS protection and consolidate security services at the core and edge of their\nnetworks to address the growing concerns. A10 Networks\u2019 5G security solutions\nincluding Gi\/SGI firewall, GTP firewall and AI-based DDoS protection enable\noperators to secure and scale their networks now and protect against the\nmassive cyber threat coming with 5G.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
According to a global survey fielded by the Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network, in partnership with A10 Networks, mobile service providers anticipate significant new revenue opportunities from the forthcoming deployment of high-speed 5G networks and a host of new IoT-driven use cases, but they also believe much-improved security will be essential to realising that potential.
