Test & Assurance for Private Networks

The global rollout of 5G, growing availability of edge computing, and enhanced automation offers enterprises of all sizes, government, academic institutions, and more, the prospect of unprecedented agility and control through Private Networks. The ability to tailor the network to specific application environments offers a compelling value proposition. However, the many technologies (e.g., 5G, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, etc.), deployment models, commercial models, and vendors, necessitate a rethinking of Service-Level Management and the testing strategies required to achieve those new capabilities. Enterprises must enforce not only performance KPIs, but availability and security as well.

5G is finding its groove and not a moment too soon. There is pressure to produce revenue growth. An eye on restraining and even lowering costs wherever possible. Impatience for delivery on promises. Most importantly, there is substantial progress on a number of fronts.

The costs involved in bringing 5G to the market have been immense. Basic 5G service revenues are not enough to justify this massive investment. Now service providers are moving with urgency to identify and deploy new services and use cases which can drive new revenue – Fixed Wireless Access, mobile and cloud gaming and private networks, to name a few.

This report showcases the widespread threats a range of organizations face with IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and cites the top threats discovered in 2022 by Spirent SecurityLabs. These vulnerabilities were identified with state-of-the-art testing programs and validated by their extensive industry-recognized experience and credentialed certifications in security testing. Device areas of testing. A range of IoT devices have different testing requirements for security assurance. They include the following categories: - Device networks - Device application, API, and cloud - Device hardware - Device mobile interface
