vendor, open and lightweight – and
the complexity of the network must be
removed or abstracted.
How does this software ensure
the security of the network?
5G will enable a range of new use cases with a
variety of specific requirements. Use cases such
as vehicle traffic control and industry control,
require highly reliable networks. Human
safety and even human lives depend on the
availability and integrity of the network service.
To support each use case in an optimal way,
security capabilities will need to be more

flexible. For example, security mechanisms
used for ultra-low latency, mission-critical
applications may not be suitable for massive
Internet of Things (IoT) deployments where
devices are inexpensive sensors that have
a very limited energy budget and transmit
data only occasionally.
Another driver for 5G security is the changing
ecosystem. LTE networks are dominated
by large monolithic deployments – each
controlled by a single network operator that
owns the network infrastructure while also
providing all network services. In contrast, 5G
networks may be deployed by a number of
specialised stakeholders providing end-user
5G network services.
This is why Nokia focuses on dynamic
5G security solutions. The Nokia security
programme focuses on the growing
challenges of 5G security management
and offers an in-depth analysis of tools that
orchestrate, correlate, analyse and enrich
security data from a variety of sources and
give them business-specific content.
The programme enhances existing network
intrusion protection with cognitive software
capabilities for rapid detection of threats.
It enables a dynamic, massively scalable,
distributed security to ensure integrity across
and through each layer and network slice of
the 5G network. This is further enhanced by
our Security Risks Index, which is a dynamic
