Is 5G more secure than Wi-Fi? Many believe cellular networks are safer than Wi-Fi networks, but as the 5G rollout continues, users will be increasingly exposed to security threats via a process called Wi-Fi offloading . There are also weaknesses in 5G traffic itself that determined attackers can exploit.

“Unlike 4G, 5G doesn’t identify each user through their SIM card ,” says Wick. “Instead, it can assign unique identities to each device, whether they are connected to a SIM or not. 5G can also encrypt the identity and location of users when they connect to a base station, while 4G would leave this information exposed.”

5G gives secure, fast service more reliably than 4G due to better use of bandwidth and more connection points . With less stress on the network, data costs can fall lower than 4G networks. 5G can carry more devices than 4G as it expands the available radio waves.

The security risks introduced The risk of more sophisticated botnets, privacy violations, and faster data extraction can escalate with 5G. More IoT, more problems: IoT devices are inherently insecure; security is often not built-in by design.14 Eyl 2021

Security functions provided by the 3GPP standard 3GPP’s 5G system standards provide security mechanisms, which are based on well-proven 4G security mechanisms, but also include new enhancements for e.g. encryption, authentication, and user privacy .
