By 2026, 5G mobile technology is forecast to reach more than 50% oftotal mobile connections, with the transition to 5G standalone (SA) adding further A fast-changing landscape of cybersecurity threats With digital transformation comes an increasedthreat of cyberattacks. Over the next three years,cybersecurity threats are expected to intensify – in of European digital infrastructure. A comprehensivesecurity regulatory framework at both the regionaland national levels together with the development Network security and future investments Phishing/smishing, ransomware and supply chainattacks remain a priority focus for operators in Europe.They are ready to defend their network assets againstsuch types of attack. They are deploying innovative Generative AI (genAI) represents a key technologyfor network modernisation, enabling real-timethreat detection and response. However, to unlockthe potential of genAI for network security, more Industry tools and collaboration Industry collaboration is essential to protect against the rapidly evolving threats. As a global organisation unifyingthe mobile ecosystem, the GSMA provides various forms of support to its members. Examples include the following: •Network Equipment Security AccreditationScheme (NESAS) –This audits and tests networkequipment vendors and their products against asecurity baseline. It can help avert fragmentationof regulatory security requirements by providing a •GSMA Baseline Security Controls –Part of theMCKB, these provide a comprehensive set ofsecurity measures for mobile networks and can •Telecommunication Information Sharing andAnalysis Centre (T-ISAC) –This enables operatormembers to communicate cyber risk data, •Mobile Cybersecurity Knowledge Base (MCKB) – This provides guidance on mobile security risks andmitigation measures. It combines the cybersecurityknowledge of the mobile ecosystem (includingmobile operators, vendors and regulators) with input Research in context:security in 2024 1.1 Purpose The security threat landscape across telecoms and the broader technologyindustry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Security threats are an assumedconstant in the digital world. This has been the case since the PC era of the Trends such as moving towards software-definedmobile networks, AI and digitisation across theeconomy have increased the attack surface andlowered technical barriers to launch attacks. The riskimpact is also now greater, with cyberattacks havingsevere consequences including brand damage, data This is the last in a five-part series on securityinnovations in the telecoms industry.
