Eugene Kaspersky . The Russian antivirus publisher returns to the growing threat of cyberattacks and the need to implement strong strategies, particularly in the context of the development of use cases in Industry and the IOT ( favored by the rise of 5G ) . An observation shared by another speaker, Stéphane Richard, President of GSMA and CEO of Orange , who during his keynote declared " 5G raises new fears in terms of cybersecurity, because the ecosystem becomes larger and more fragmented and other parts of our activities become digital and vulnerable [...]. It is a permanent race, which requires the best of collectively developed technology, because no one can be protected behind a closed digital door anymore. " A point of view that he develops in a LinkedIn post published on the sidelines of the MWC.
In addition to the multiple attack opportunities gambling data cambodia that 5G can enable, and to which scalable responses should be provided, what is at stake behind this new technology goes even further. Indeed, the deployment, accessibility of the 5G network on the territory, European in this case, and the implementation of concrete applications is a real competitiveness issue for companies on the continent. Today, China and the United States of America have taken a clear lead in terms of uses (especially industrial). A delta that will necessarily impact European companies and their capacities to deliver a service/product that lives up to the market as well as innovation.
An idea that Alex Sinclair, CTO of GSMA , returned to in an interview conducted by Euronews Next during the show: " If you don't adopt 5G now, the companies that do will definitely get ahead of you. From a national perspective, this means that the countries that take longer to adopt 5G are going to be left behind ." This reality does not prevent the technical director from remaining optimistic: " Even if we are a little behind in Europe in the actual deployment of networks, I think we have very, very impressive feedback from customers. I don't think Europe is lagging behind in studying the different use cases in collaboration with the industry. I think that in Europe, we are rather ahead ." So everything is still to play for!
Connnect ed People & hardware everywhere
Among the other trends at MWC, we were able to find the connected human and new hardware. " What is the pinnacle of connectivity? It is man who becomes one with the universe. One with our environment. We must create a bridge between us and the objects that surround us ", this is the will of Zina Jarrahi Cinker , CEO of AMPT , who spoke during a particularly well-attended keynote .
5G still, but from another angle and with another headliner.
