Abstract: 5G technology is nowadays seen as a step in the category of “revolutionary” steps in humankind history, related to the industrial and communications environment. This ubiquitous term now signifies the evolution of the industrial technologies that changed the face of the world through the introduction of new concepts on large scale industrial processes: printing press (15th century), steam engine (18th century), electricity (18th century), telegraph (19th century), the internet (20th century). The 5G tech, while not revolutionary in concept, is a complete game-changer in terms of enhancing previously available capabilities. The speed and amounts of data that can be reached and transferred would be enormous. As we see and live through an interconnected future, the focus on cybersecurity must increase exponentially. As more and more devices will be linked to the global network, will upload and download data through 5G connections, all these connections hold a very dangerous potential for being hacked and this exposing sensitive or even vital information to unauthorized people.
