Emerging Communications Networking Trends & Cybersecurity Challenges

The Challenge: Securing Emerging Communication Technologies

Communication networking technologies are going through a dramatic transformation for service providers, suppliers, application developers, and consumers. Emerging network technologies provide greater bandwidth, low latency, better coverage and support for existing and emerging multimedia applications and services. Service providers, enterprises, and government organizations must adopt new software and network architectures to support connectivity, mobility and use cases. The primary wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, 5G and Citizen Broadband Radio Service [CBRS]) are building upon previous wireless generations and will interwork with each other to support user roaming across both private and public network domains.

  • This white paper describes the current trends in wireless technologies and architectures, focusing on:
  • Security threats and risks stakeholders need to consider to protect their users, data and infrastructure.
  • Key issues and efforts that industry stakeholders, standards forums and government entities must continue to address to enable secure deployments countering the evolving threat environment.
  • Examples of security research that is needed to advance the state-of-the-art in holistic security approaches.
