5G: A Guide to Secure Adoption By Business

5G’s introduction promises to revolutionize many business functions and introduce higher levels of security than any previous communications network. It does, however, also bring with it significant security pitfalls to be properly managed. Recognizing this, the BENS Technology & Innovation Council has designed a guide to help companies, and their leadership, get ahead of the curve on 5G’s introduction; what it is, what it means to their company, and ultimately how to operate it securely.

Without building-in proper planning and security risk management from the beginning, businesses risk not only losing the benefits 5G can bring, but also the underlying operations, data, competitive advantage, reputation and brand. To that end, this guide serves to help companies ‘bake-in’ security from the beginning of their 5G employment, and avoid having to ‘bolt it on’ after the fact.
