Cybersecurity in the Age of 5G – New Risks and Solutions with Cyber Security
In the era of 5G, cybersecurity faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. As fifth-generation wireless technology becomes more pervasive, its capabilities to enhance connectivity and speed also introduce new vulnerabilities. One of the primary concerns is the expanded attack surface due to the proliferation of connected devices and the massive increase in data transfer speeds. These factors create fertile ground for cyber threats ranging from traditional malware and phishing attacks to more sophisticated threats exploiting the speed and latency advantages of 5G networks. One significant risk in the 5G landscape is the potential for enhanced distributed denial-of-service DDoS attacks. With 5G's ability to handle a significantly larger number of connected devices simultaneously and process vast amounts of data at higher speeds, malicious actors could exploit these capabilities to launch more potent…
