The security breach at a third party marketing partner of US operator AT&T that led to the information of nine million AT&T customers being exposed highlights the risk to telecom operators from security vulnerabilities at third-party partners, according to Dmitry Kurbatov, Co-Founder and CTO of SecurityGen, the global provider of security solutions and services for the telecom industry.
Furthermore, the potential risk from third parties is set to increase with the growth of 5G and evolving ecosystems of developers, service providers and non-telecom players working together on new 5G products and services.
