With the arrival of 5G cellular networks comes a whole new level of cyber risk, and a heightened need to protect against hackers, attackers and spies.

Network communications technology is getting more sophisticated all the time, and so are the efforts of hackers and cyber thieves to violate it. The internet of things (IoT) is a major target, and so is the internet of radios (IoR) — the basis for radio frequency (RF) networks. On this episode, we probe the seriousness of the new threat posed by 5G, with the help of Bob Baxley, chief technology officer of Bastille Networks. He explains how the connectivity of devices, so crucial to RF communications today, is also what makes systems so vulnerable. And he proposes some steps to secure our networks. Hosted by Bob Bowman.
