Cyber threats to critical infrastructure have reached new peaks in the last two years. Private wireless networks deployed by water and power companies must protect against threats targeting 4G/5G operators and those targeting their own sector. Getting security right from the outset is critical to utilities getting past the pain of operationalizing a private wireless network to the gains from deploying it at scale. Simply extending enterprise security tools and processes will not secure a private wireless network properly. Utilities need tools and processes tailored to the unique security requirements of any 4G/5G network. And they need additional protections against risks that arise from the unique ways utilities use a private network. Nokia’s cybersecurity portfolio – comprising NetGuard EDR, NetGuard Identity Access Manager, NetGuard Certificate Manager, NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome, as well as OneLayer Bridge – is a good fit for the comprehensive security utilities need.
