Vodafone Idea’s CISO calls for inclusive decision-making to establish 5G security system

Mathan Babu Kasilingam, the Chief Information Security Officer and Data Privacy Officer at Vodafone Idea Limited in a video interview emphasizes the need for inclusive decision-making and security analysis before the inception of 5G. Despite being secured at the network layer, 5G is still susceptible to breaches, and inclusive decision-making is vital to prioritize secure and safe practices to establish a comprehensive security system for the 5G network. Secure communications are only as good as the weakest link, making it essential to analyze each use case and apply security protocols. The goal is to build a service with security as an inclusive part of the growth journey, rather than an afterthought post-inception.
