5G SA networks trigger a new era in 5G security

How 5G SA disrupts the fundamental security landscape and explodes traditional mobile core architecture

Until now, 5G hasn’t changed the security experience for mobile operators or any of their customers. That’s because the first 5G services all leverage the Non Stand Alone (NSA) 5G architecture that connects 5G radios to a 4G core.

According to the GSM mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), there are more than 100 5G networks in more than forty countries now. All of them are 5G NSA networks.

That’s about to change.

This new whitepaper written by HardenStance, analysts and leaders in cyber security and Telecoms IT research, explores how 5G SA networks will trigger a new era in 5G security.
