5G security spending expected to reach $ 5.2 billion by 2026

Analysts explain that the 5G security market is gaining traction due to growing security concerns in 5G networks, an increase in ransomware attacks on IoT devices, an increase in attacks on critical infrastructure, and an increase in IoT connections. That being said, forecast experts warn that the high cost of 5G security solutions will hold back small and midsize businesses.

If we consider the distribution by segment, the segment of solutions for protection against DDoS attacks will grow the fastest during the forecast period. These attacks violate the confidentiality, integrity and availability of resources, which can result in losses of billions of dollars.
