In today’s hyper-connected world, the rapid growth of 5G networks and IoT ecosystems is revolutionizing industries. These technologies promise unparalleled connectivity, reduced latency, and enhanced efficiency. However, this evolution comes with a significant challenge: securing an exponentially growing number of devices and data exchanges.
To tackle this, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions, like eMudhra’s CERTInext, are emerging as vital tools for telecom and IoT security. This blog explores how PKI and CERTInext address critical security challenges in these domains.
The Growing Security Challenge in 5G and IoT
5G and IoT technologies are transforming industries, but the numbers tell a cautionary tale:
- The number of connected devices in telecom is expected to exceed 40 billion by 2030, doubling from today’s 20 billion.
- The estimated value of IoT infrastructure is set to grow from $35 billion to $100 billion+ in the same period
This growth introduces a broader attack surface, with millions of devices exchanging sensitive data. Expired certificates, mismanagement of device identities, or insufficient encryption protocols could lead to devastating cyberattacks, reputational damage, and operational disruptions.
