What would be the next?
It is a
simple law that when technology becomes more and more advanced the misuse of it
and subsequently the security issues also increase. This fact is about
technology versus hardware compatibility.
Yes – the cause is 5G!
Yes – the cause is 5G!
“5G will result in the first public disclosure of a data
breach caused by a mobile device. Extremely fast 5G connectivity will enable
new capabilities for self-driving cars, remote robotic surgeries, and many
other applications that require decisions to be made in single-digit
milliseconds. However, it will also accelerate the amount of data lost on
mobile devices. 5G will continue to dissolve traditional enterprise network
perimeters and cybercriminals will take advantage of security gaps to launch
all kinds of attacks, such as phishing, man-in-the-middle, device takeovers,
and more”
It is said that ‘attackers Will Find
New Vulnerabilities in the 5G/Wi-Fi Handover’- according to WatchGuard.
Furthermore, it illustrates that even though 5G comes with high-end features
like speed and reliability, the security vulnerability issue can be higher when
smartphones switch between mobile cellular network (5G) and Wi-Fi networks that
are publicly available or accessed by large number of people (in public
places). Attackers could access voice or data of 5G mobile phones.
Moreover, the said report predicts
that most of the data breaches will be involved in telecommuters, mobile
devices, and off-premises assets.
