With the rise in cyber threat incidents, the expansion of the 5G network security market is expected. Cyber threats, which intend to breach the safety, reliability, and availability of digital systems, data, and networks, are increasing. This increase is due to escalating digital business operations, cloud computing growth, the prominence of remote working, and evolving cybercriminal strategies. 5G network security enhances resistance to such threats, employing superior encryption, AI-powered threat detection, and zero-trust architectures safeguarding data, devices, and network foundation. For example, as stated by the Australian Signals Directorate, a state agency in Australia, approximately 94,000 cybercrime reports were filed in the fiscal year 2022-23, marking a 23% growth compared to the prior fiscal year, and averaging one report every six minutes. Hence, these escalating cyber threat incidents are fuelling the expansion of the 5G network security market.
