With the global average cost of a data breach jumping up by 15% in just three years (reaching US$4.45 million in 2023), it’s clear that there is a real and present threat to telecom networks and that cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated. Malware attacks like ad-click bots, crypto-miners and banking trojans are commonplace now and DDoS attacks leveraging IoT and cloud technologies are on the rise as well. In this edition, you’ll explore:

  • Why telcos need protection - What can we do to keep these critical domestic and international infrastructure pathways open?
  • How criminals have access to the same tech advancements - Will telcos use AI, behavioural biometrics, zero-trust architecture, quantum computing and cloud security to protect themselves before it’s too late?
  • Why not all security approaches are created equal - Should we separate network security from traditional IT security in our minds? Networks are more critical to infrastructure and face a more diverse range of threats. The security measures can’t be the same as your average business
  • How to determine if your security is fit for purpose - Considerations include the complexity of network traffic analysis, the diverse network environments globally, the specialised tools and processes related to telcos and new country-specific regulations that might impact your operation.
