In this interview with Help Net Security, Anubhav Arora, VP of Security Engineering at Cradlepoint, talks about the most common 5G security misconceptions, how to make sure the network is safe, but also how 5G can benefit businesses.

There's a common misconception among security teams that 5G is only a data transport technology.

Cybersecurity teams will have to understand their full technology ecosystem to prevent blind spots in security assessments.

Ask how DevSecOps is implemented, what security features are native to the product, and if those features integrate well with your organization's existing technology ecosystem.

The network slice itself is a separated, self-contained, and independent part of the network, targeting different services with various requirements on speed, latency, reliability and security.

5G network slicing can help improve the overall availability of the use case but is limited to providing confidentiality and integrity protections within the 5G network boundaries.
