Securing autonomous telecom networks with AI-driven defense

This paper explains how 5G, AI, and cloud‑driven automation are expanding the telecom attack surface while regulatory demands such as NIS2, the UK Telecommunications Security Act etc. tighten. It outlines why cloud‑based, AI‑based security approaches are becoming essential, and shows how Microsoft and Nokia can help operators improve detection, response, resilience, and compliance in automated network environments.
