Network Security in the 5G and IoT Environment

For enterprise networks to be compliant they must encompass two things: standards that define how networks are configured and ensuring those standards are enforced rigidly and uniformly across the network, whether it is physical, virtual, or cloud.However, today’s modern and exploded network infrastructure includes a multitude of edge devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and with the addition of cloud-based services it’s only getting more complex. Effective management of the network in a holistic manner is crucial for operational consistency. Regardless of your network size or type, constant configuration changes to infrastructure components based on business and technical requirements are inevitable and organizations need a modern approach to ensure configuration compliance across all network devices and services.

Private wireless networks have become the hot topic in the wireless industry. There’s a huge surge of interest in private and enterprise deployments of LTE. Industrial sites, transport hubs, sports venues and even offices and hotels are looking at obtaining local spectrum and using dedicated wireless networks.

The mobile industry is facing many complex challenges as wireless network infrastructure and devices begin to approach new 5G standards. One component of these standards, Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), specifies delivering data rates approaching 20Gbps and higher, a much loftier goal than can be achieved with 4G LTE.

Virtualization has posed greater threat challenges to the networks of enterprises. With multiple connectivity devices complemented by internet explosion, the world of cloud is like a ball ready to burst anytime. Hence, the need to deploy effective network security is felt harder than ever before. Look out for the virtualization challenges you missed out if any, and Cyberoam's virtual security appliance range that is VMware Ready.
