Enhanced cybersecurity urged

Experts call for united efforts to deal with potential challenges linked to super-fast 5G

While 5G technologies seemingly bring up endless possibilities, this new era of pervasive connectivity will also pose new risks in cybersecurity.

"Most of the security challenges that 1G to 4G networks pose are to personal privacy. However, 5G technologies will serve a wide range of industries, especially some key sectors closely related to the national economic and social development," said Qiao Siyuan, senior director of the strategic management division at Chinese security company Qi An Xin Group.
