Private 5G: rising adoption collides with CIOs’ security concerns 

If you’re considering private 5G for your enterprise, you’d do well to optimize your investment by opting for a private rather than public solution. Private networks are dedicated to a specific location, allowing for more stringent network security and enterprise control. They can be tightly integrated with the existing enterprise LAN and provide tailored services leveraging the private licensed spectrum. This will translate into better control and visibility of your overall enterprise security posture.

5G is natively more secure…

The truth is that standard Wi-Fi networks simply can’t provide the level of security that modern businesses require. Private 5G technology attempts to bring this natively, thanks to the security protocols inherent in these networks.

… but its efficacy depends on the correct architecture and deployment

As 5G is new and relatively untested in the enterprise space, proven enterprise security elements must augment a private 5G deployment to sidestep potential pitfalls. Likewise, while the transmission medium of 5G is highly secure, if it’s not thoughtfully approached, it’s possible that you’ll fail to realize the improved data privacy and security outcomes you expect.
