Gain insights from the experts

Join our experts as they demystify the changing threat landscape around 5G security, provide insights into how we keep 5G networks and the wider ecosystem secure against ever-evolving threats, and arm you with the tools needed to collaborate across this ecosystem to maintain a high security posture in your network.

5G is, by design, more secure than previous generations, but it is being deployed and operated in an evolving and complex threat landscape. New, demanding use cases served by telecom networks will increase attack motivations and attack vectors. These factors are exponentially increasing the need to proactively protect networks.

Learn how to stay ahead in this evolving threat landscape, with a brand-new blog series that acts as a master-class in 5G security, with unique insights to help you ensure a high security posture.

Join us on this deep dive into the world of 5G security

The series consists of a number of blog posts, each focusing on a different topic within 5G security. Don’t miss out – sign up today and receive each episode as it is released.

The evolving threat landscape

1. Deciphering the evolving threat landscape: security in a 5G world

Cyber-attacks on telecom networks are increasing, and understanding the threat landscape is more critical than ever, as 5G and cloud technologies bring new use cases but also vulnerabilities. In this introductory post, we explore the current threat actor landscape, giving insights into their motivations, opportunities and capabilities

Network APIs and 5G security

2. APIs and network security: three key lessons from enterprise

The exposure of advanced 5G functionality through common APIs will enable innovation of new services on a global scale with speed. The richness of 5G comes with greater complexity and new security risks need to be appropriately addressed. The telecom industry can, and does, benefit from API security lessons already learned in the enterprise space.

Telecom security

Telecom security

Our approach to telecom security is built on four key pillars – standardization, product development, deployment and operations. These four areas contribute to forming a strong, secure foundation on which to build large-scale, security-sensitive systems.

Resilient 5G Systems

Resilient 5G Systems

5G is powering everything, from factory automation to remote control of assets and more. The 5G platform is a truly resilient system – offering predictable performance and security assurance for the most advanced technologies and mission-critical processes.

Trustworthy Systems

Trustworthy Systems

At Ericsson, we envision a future where extreme wireless delivers limitless connectivity for all applications – connecting anyone and anything, anywhere and anytime. But to realize this, security and trust management will have a key role to play.
