The research company believes standardisation moves by groups including the GSMA will be a major boost in terms of delivering the required protections, an area digital security research analyst Georgia Cooke believes must be addressed as early as possible.
“It’s critical that operators don’t rush this. API-based network exposure could be a viable counter to slow 5G network return on investment. Still, it also presents a major security risk and must be achieved in measured and comprehensively reviewed steps”, Cooke said.

“The already highly complex 5G landscape is exacerbated by the uptake in RAN sharing and roaming,” Georgia Cooke, research analyst at ABI Research, wrote. “A greater variety of operators are in business, making it imperative that security solutions are interoperable.”
ABI Research highlighted this concern in a report that found most organizations had reported an IoT-device related security attack. That number is more concerning with tens-of-billions of more IoT devices expected to attach to networks in the coming years.

“The shift is clear – there is still demand for signalling security, but customers increasingly want it delivered in a software format, with an emphasis on ‘Single Pane of Glass’ interfaces, ease, and integration,” says Georgia Cooke, Digital Security Research Analyst at ABI Research. “Signalling security remains an overlooked problem for many network operators. A move to flexible, scalable software solutions will help signalling firewalls become ubiquitous, underpinning 5G security and raising security standards across the market.”
