The world is becoming increasingly connected with advancements in wireless technology. Now in its fifth generation, 5G brings unprecedented speed, reliability, and responsiveness. As 5G wireless technology is further developed and brought to mainstream markets, it will catalyze a paradigm shift for how we connect with our devices, information, and one another. Verizon partnered with Gensler to explore how 5G will transform the way people work. We started by evaluating the critical capabilities and limitations of 5G. An analysis of 5G disruptions in tangential industries yielded five key emerging trends. Finally, by applying these trends to the workplace, we distilled specific implications that are most likely to shape the future of work.

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security. The following trends are making organizations reassess their approach to security:
