A column focusing on my work with the Cyber Rescue Alliance

Interviewed by Telecom TV on the subject of 5G security at the ETSI 5G Summit in Sophia Antipolis, April 6th 2017

With 5G on the horizon, here’s a column I wrote on Light Reading addressing some of the security issues that need thinking about.

When in February 2017 four cyber security vendors acquired four malware detection vendors specialized in machine learning or behavioural analytics, Light Reading asked me what I thought about it.

I spent January 27th in Helsinki hearing from Nokia’s security team about their approach to mobile network security. Here’s what I thought of it.

Can Huawei’s leadership really have decided that it can continue to sit back and allow Cisco to build up such a commanding lead in the network security solutions space ?

There’s a boom in security services, driven by demand from businesses and shaped by the ability to deliver security as a virtual network function, says Heavy Reading Chief Analyst Patrick Donegan. With that increased demand comes increased competition, as more different types of service providers including equipment vendors are getting into the business of offering security.

The vibe from the conference and exhibition floor at this year’s event in Las Vegas left this first-time attendee in no doubt that BlackHat is well and truly growing up. The spirit of subversive hackery that filled BlackHat’s attendee lists in the early days is certainly still there. But according to exhibitors and delegates alike there has been a clear shift in the attendee profile towards operational and commercial types charged with buying and implementing network security solutions for their businesses.

In a Light Reading column last July, I argued we were embarking on a new “Phase 3” in the commercial relationships between communications service providers (CSPs) and the web-scale Internet companies (WICs). I noted then that this new era would be “characterized by much closer collaboration.” (See Kevin Lo’s Move to Facebook: Sign of Things to Come?)
