CTOne, a Trend Micro™ company, has released a new research report emphasizing the urgent need for next-generation security solutions to protect enterprise private 5G and public mobile networks. With the rapid expansion of the enterprise attack surface, organizations leveraging mobile-edge AI devices and applications require advanced security to mitigate risks.
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, CTOne will showcase cutting-edge security capabilities, enabling enterprises to fully harness private, public, and hybrid mobile networks while enhancing cybersecurity posture.
Findings: The Growing Risk in Private 5G Security
CTOne’s research, conducted in partnership with Trend Micro, highlights a significant security gap in private 5G networks:
- Lack of Communications Technology (CT) Expertise – Only 20% of global organizations have a dedicated CT security team.
- Security Responsibility Misalignment – In many enterprises, CT security falls under the CTO (43%) or CIO (32%), rather than dedicated security professionals.
- AI-Powered Security Adoption – Despite increasing reliance on AI-driven security tools, gaps remain in securing private 5G infrastructures.
According to Jason Huang, CEO of CTOne:
“Organizations deploying private 5G are realizing the benefits of next-generation wireless connectivity. However, our research shows that securing these networks is a key challenge. CTOne’s new security solutions bridge the enterprise skill gap while addressing threats to wireless deployments.”
