According to Minnesota-based Arcserve, the integrity of network security and the stability of IT platforms in a new 5G environment, will also have to be taken seriously.
According to Arcserve, securing enterprise data in fifth generation or 5G-based network services may be challenging for IT teams because the newer technology will lead to widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Nikhil Korgaonkar, Regional Director, Arcserve India & SAARC said, “While data transfer speeds of up to 10GB/s for businesses in 5G, but there will be a definite challenge for IT teams in charge of securing enterprise data,” adding that several aspects would define how data would be protected when migrated to 5G networks.
Korgaonkar went on to say that because IP traffic is predicted to quadruple by the end of the year, it will inevitably lead to an increase in cyberattacks, necessitating the employment of aggressive data security methods by businesses, including telecom operators.
In an information-driven economy, data is constantly being exchanged between devices and networks, and these transactions are growing at an exponential rate, according to the company, which added that data protection requires a coordinated effort from the government, enterprises, and the general public.
