As per the report published by Fior Markets, the global 5G security market is expected to grow from USD 593.10 million in 2020 to USD 11.76 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 45.28% during the forecast period 2021-2028.
Fifth-generation (5G) cellular is set to change the ICT sector with significantly improved mobility services, massively scaled Internet of Things (IoT) networks and ultra-low latency communications support for essential apps and services. With these projected enhancements come significant privacy and security obligations. Because 5G security solutions must be implemented on numerous levels, including devices, air interface equipment, cloud RAN infrastructure, mobile backhaul facilities, and more, the market for 5G security must be strong. The 3GPP Security architecture and procedures for the 5G System, among other things, provide criteria for E1 and f1 interfaces as well as an overall secure environment. Subscription authentication, UE authorization, access and serving network authorization, and more are among the group’s aspects as necessary for 5G security. To guarantee seamlessness and interoperability across network parts, other areas include user and signaling data integrity.
For numerous possible vulnerabilities, such as user data in transit and signaling for radio resource control, the 5G gNB must enable encryption following security rules. Access control and ensuring that home networks approve serving networks are equally critical.
The COVID-19 epidemic has caused havoc in a variety of businesses, including the 5G security market. During the lockdowns, many private and government companies have permitted their workers to work from home, creating a requirement for proactive network security monitoring since individuals are remotely connected, using enterprise resources, and exchanging documents via collaboration tools.
Key players operating in the 5G security market are AT&T Inc., China Mobile Ltd., Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., CISCO Systems Inc., Cloudflare Inc., DigitCert Inc., Ericsson AB, F5 Networks Inc., Gemalto N.V., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., IBM Corporation. To earn a significant market share in the 5G security market, the key players now focus on adopting product innovations, mergers & acquisitions, recent developments, joint ventures, collaborations, and partnerships.
- In April 2021, Fujitsu and Trend Micro, two of the world’s leading IT security companies, have established a partnership to protect private 5G networks. These firms have created simplified security technologies for IoT devices and networks to speed up the digital transformation of manufacturing.
