Enterprise data security challenging in 5G era: Arcserve

NEW DELHI: Securing enterprise data in the fifth generation or 5G-based network services may be challenging for organisational IT teams since the newer technology would trigger massive adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the US-based Arcserve said.

“While data transfer speeds of up to 10GB/s for businesses in 5G, but there will be a definite challenge for IT teams in charge of securing enterprise data,” Nikhil Korgaonkar, Regional Director, Arcserve India & SAARC said, adding that several factors would define how data remains secure when migrated to 5G networks.

Minnesota-headquartered Arcserve that offers data security solutions to large businesses also said that the integrity of network security and stability of IT platforms in a new 5G environment would also have to be seen seriously.
