Signaling Security Swept Up in 50% Year-on-Year 5G Security Software Growth

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Signaling security remains a key facet of 5G network security, but the market is changing. Traditionally, signaling security has meant signaling firewalls deployed as hardware. Recently updated forecasts by global technology intelligence firm ABI Research suggest a stagnation of hardware revenues, while network security delivered as services and software are expected to see 50% year-on-year growth.

"The shift is clear - there is still demand for signaling security, but customers increasingly want it delivered in a software format, with an emphasis on 'Single Pane of Glass' interfaces, ease, and integration," says Georgia Cooke, Digital Security Research Analyst at ABI Research. "Signaling security remains an overlooked problem for many network operators. A move to flexible, scalable software solutions will help signaling firewalls become ubiquitous, underpinning 5G security and raising security standards across the market."
