5G LBO can help the enterprise network security

The insufficient visibility of enterprise intranets, caused by no common communication hub for each endpoint that brings trouble to network monitoring, has been a worry. We did learn how serious it could be in WannaCry and SolarWinds security cases. Surprisingly, private 5G technology may help. Since each 5G device should connect to some base stations (eNB or gNB), theoretically, we could inspect the complete communication data of the 5G devices when the base stations connected by them are monitored. It also implies that enterprise intranet visibility can be easily achieved if the enterprise adopts 5G, also known as the private 5G network. However, its cost could be too high to be accepted by most enterprises.

There still exists the alternative: to enable local-break-out, LBO, function on 5G operator’s network: Mobile phones or IoT devices can then directly connect to enterprise Intranet through the operator’s base stations.

We will share the details in this session about LBO technology and the business model for “5G improves enterprise security”.
