Do you recognize these challenges

Telecommunications companies face challenges when they implement security functions in LTE and 5G networks.

They need to:

  • Protect base stations from threats like device tracking, call interception, frequency jamming, physical base stations attacks, and flooding.
  • Adapt to new security requirements for 5G, where base stations need to be more closely spaced and placed in easier to reach locations.
  • Guarantee high availability of the telecom networks.
  • Authenticate users, base stations and other devices to prevent unauthorized access to the backend services.
  • Prevent malware from executing in the associated backend or applications.
