The telecommunications industry, valued at $1.8 trillion and continually receiving investments, is crucial in our daily lives. The ever-increasing number of users and the demand for high-speed connectivity resulted in technological upgrades, such as the growth of 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT). This growth also has its downsides, with the rise of cyber threats coinciding with the increase in the number of users and higher data speeds.

Due to the complexity and interconnectedness of telecom networks, as more devices become interconnected, the industry’s cybersecurity challenges will become more severe, threatening not only financial losses but also critical infrastructure, societal cohesion, and mental well-being.
