Digital trust for 5G

Secure and authenticate your 5G backbone,
cloud infrastructure, apps and devices with
DigiCert PKI solutions.

The promise and perils of 5G

The transformation from 4G to 5G is more than just a change in bandwidth. It’s a paradigm shift, a structural metamorphosis and a worldwide engineering project all at once. While the promise of potentially unlimited speeds in a truly wireless world fires the imagination, building and running 5G presents monumental security challenges.

5G means new devices.

The incredible bandwidth of 5G makes possible new connections to more and more devices. From remote surgical arms to smart city grids, 5G can power a connected world like we’ve never seen before. But new and more devices means more access points. More things trying to connect to the network. And more requests mean more threats coming from authentication issues.

5G means cloud.

In the past, telcos held physical control over their backbone. But in order to achieve 5G’s higher speeds and new app integration, telcos will have to rely on the scalability and versatility of the cloud. And that means new security risks. A cloud transformation involves the need to protect networks and services that aren’t locked down on-premises or under the direct control of the telco.

5G means scalable apps and services.

What we do with 5G over time is defined only by the limits of what we can conceive. So, for any 5G network to function, it needs to be ready to react and adapt to new devices, services and applications—both telco and third-party applications delivered via 5G. Cloud architecture makes it possible to scale and flex as all these new devices come online, requiring new apps. But unsecured apps can present just as much risk to the network and its users as an unsecured transmission, tower or smart phone.
