Commentary
While I was reading this week I found a security prediction for 2020 that caught my eye. The prediction was that the growth and combination of IoT and 5G would be a major source of security issues in 2020. I kind of chuckled because the annual predictions are usually interesting, but frequently off from what ends up occurring. But because my mind was on 5G, I noticed a blog post released today by Bruce Schneier on 5G security. Bruce explains his view on why 5G is not going to be as secure as people may hope and it’s definitely worth the read.
