Influence of 5G Technology on IOT Devices and The Vulnerabilities Associated
The onset of 5G technology provides data speeds up to ten times faster than legacy LTE, with this in mind, it is reported that IOT devices are expected to increase from 700 million devices currently to 3.2 billion by 2023. While there are numerous factors for the exponential increase of IOT devices, one of the main reasons is 5G technology.
This study will contribute to the current literature by explaining how not only 5G technology influences IOT devices but also what security vulnerabilities come about as a result.
The importance is to provide ideas on how to minimize or mitigate risk to IOT devices that use 5G technology.
Research Questions:
What are the causes of IOT device data breaches within 5G networks?
What is the impact of IOT device data breaches using 5G networks to the organization and stakeholders who rely on the device?
How can data breaches of IOT devices on 5G networks be mitigated or prevented?
