The risks, if this fundamental vulnerability in the design of 5G standards had gone undiscovered, are significant. Having brought this to the industry’s attention through the appropriate forums and processes, we are glad to be working with the operator and standards communities to highlight this issue and promote best practice going forward.” Dr. Silke Holtmanns, Head of 5G Security Research at AdaptiveMobile Security FAQ What is 5G Network Slicing? Network slicing allows a mobile operator to divide their network into multiple distinct virtual blocks that provide different amounts of resources and prioritization to different types of traffic. Why will Network Slicing be so important for 5G? Network slicing will allow operators to provide portions of their networks for specific customer use cases in verticals such as Automotive, Healthcare and Entertainment. As a result, the network is open to many partners and sliced into use cases and vertical specific blocks. 5G Network Slicing Security Download the white paper now!
