“As we discuss the current landscape of 5G networks, which offer a larger attack surface due to greater numbers of connected devices and denser network infrastructure, it is essential to even look to the future.
“We are witnessing the dawn of 6G technology, the next frontier in wireless communications.
“With the promise of even higher speeds, lower latency and innovative applications, 6G has the potential to revolutionize the way we experience connectivity,” said Aminu.
However, he said that with this progress comes the responsibility to address new risks posed by cybersecurity threats.
