on a great scale, the newness of the same is giving attackers an opportunity to find loopholes in the
network system. Thus, end user industries are looking for solutions that ensure secure exchange of
information along with prevention of confidential data. This has led to companies designing solutions that
will help companies to combat cybersecurity threats, especially in a network embedded with 5G network.

Although the pandemic helped industries digitalize themselves overnight, the increasing number of cyber
attacks became more prevalent. The sudden shift of communication networks along with less to no
protection created more chances of cyber threats. But, with the penetration of 5G networks across various
end user industries, networks will use artificial intelligence to detect the possibility of threats at an early
stage. Artificial intelligence not only protects access points but also all the networks they connect. 5G’s
intelligent edge solutions have the capability to prevent and detect network intrusion. Moreover, it has
the potential to detect anomalous behavior that constantly learns and adapts to the target environment,
thus, making 5G technology more reliable.

Advantages of Using 5G Network for Cyber Security Threats

• Low latency – 5G network’s low latency has the capability to support augmented reality, artificial
intelligence and virtual reality efficiently. This helps in creating transparency between different IoT
devices and ensures security of information and confidential data across organizations.
• Securing Cybersecurity Threats - 5G networks are helping tech experts to strengthen existing
cybersecurity software. Devices connected with 5G networks have the potential to self-detect
suspicious activity and act on the same immediately. Thus, making 5G networks essential for
cybersecurity threats.
• High Speed and Increased Capacity – 5G network’s capacity to process information at a lightning
speed is helping end user industries to understand the potential threats of cybersecurity.
Furthermore, most tech companies are using key features of 5G network that can be customized
to combat different kinds of cybersecurity threats.

Conclusion – 5G Technology – Enabling Safer Future

In the upcoming years, 5G networks are expected to become more prevalent along with becoming usable
across business domains. This will not only help businesses to grow rapidly but also help in deploying
workflows, monitoring and controlling solutions at remote locations. Although end user sectors such as
healthcare, critical infrastructure and automotive industries are more prone to getting targeted by
cybersecurity threats, usage of 5G network not only assures prevention of threats but also detects them
at an early stage.

Owing to the aforementioned developments, the popularity of technology in large enterprises is expected
to increase with time. Thus, most end user enterprises are looking forward to capitalizing on the use of
5G network. Tech-savvy industries are designing and customizing multiple ways of security networks
against cybersecurity threats by maximizing the use of 5G. The increasing importance of cross-industry
partnerships along with venture capital investments fuelling the chances of cybersecurity threats. This,
in turn, is creating opportunities for the increasing use of 5G networks.
