Donna Johnson, CMO at Cradlepoint and head of marketing for Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, joins Dark Reading's Terry Sweeney at News Desk during RSA Conference to discuss some of the current barriers to 5G cellular adoption. She weighs in on whether enterprises should view 5G as an expansion of their attack surface, as well as strategies that some companies are using to better protect themselves, including the use of secure access service edge (SASE) devices as one approach. Johnson also offers guidance on what questions 5G security customers should be asking themselves before deployments.
