5G security automation should be a key priority to eliminate time-consuming manual tasks

5G security automation will enhance performance, scalability and agility. As there continues to be a shortage in skilled security professionals, CSPs need to examine how they can effectively automate vulnerability and threat management tasks. Nearly 65% of CSP respondents said their security teams spend more than 30% of their time on automatable tasks. Furthermore, 42% of CSP respondents spend over 40% of their time on automatable tasks.

Reduce number of fragmented security tools for full visibility

CSPs are having difficulty keeping up with the change in containerized environments and the volume of disparate security tools is not helping. As fragmented tools decrease effectiveness and slow down DevOps, it becomes difficult to detect threats. 42% of CSP respondents report that fragmented security tools make it difficult to effectively implement security capabilities across various systems and use cases.

Trend: Real-time threat detection and response capabilities are critical

As CSPs assess their critical 5G security needs, threat detection and response is a top priority. 40% of CSP respondents need help with detection and response right now while 70% need help now or in the near future. These capabilities allow CSPs to detect and respond to threats faster to minimize risk.

How E2E security can improve capabilities for 5G

While it’s not new that there is an increase in ransomware and phishing attacks, many CSPs are now recognizing that they need to substantially improve their capabilities for 5G operations. 56% of CSP respondents report that they need to greatly improve their capabilities for telecom specific attacks. E2E security keeps your data secured by taking a holistic start-to-finish approach to security design.

How Nokia Managed Security Services meets the security needs in a variety of vertical industries
