Challenges of 5G technology in the field of cybersecurity

Abstract

In the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), technology is advancing at a speed that exceeds the ability of states to adapt. Accordingly, the implementation of 5G technology in Chile, scheduled for early 2022, presents opportunities for many areas, such as teleworking, telemedicine, modernization of the State, the development of strategic capacities, smart cities, increased productivity, the internet of things (IoT) and e-commerce, among others. However, these opportunities present unsuspected challenges. Therefore, States must not only assume that there
will be risks, but also challenges to national security. The article will revise these security challenges arising from the implementation of 5G technology in the area of cybersecurity.
