Fujitsu and Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, have collaborated to focus on the security of private 5G networks.
The companies will demonstrate the effectiveness of Trend Micro's security for private 5G using a simulated smart factory environment and an operational Fujitsu environment prior to the product's public availability.
Private 5G network technology will be the catalyst for true smart factories globally. Connectivity and automation will link factory devices and business applications, improving production capabilities and overall factory performance. However, the expanded IT infrastructure within operational technology (OT) environments can lead to exposed risk for cyberattacks. There is an urgent need to implement cybersecurity measures to secure private 5G networks to protect against potential attacks.
Fujitsu and Trend Micro have incorporated Trend Micro's 5G security solution into a private 5G system that simulates an actual smart factory environment equipped with high-definition monitoring cameras and automatic guided vehicles (AGV) at the FUJITSU Collaboration Lab in Kawasaki, Japan.
Tomonori Goto, corporate executive officer, SVP and Head of 5G Vertical Service Office at Fujitsu
To this end, we believe that this security solution, created together with Trend Micro, represents a key technology for applying private 5G to mission-critical areas.
Akihiko Omikawa, EVP for Trend Micro
We're delighted to be joining forces with Fujitsu to tackle the immense challenge of cybersecurity for private 5G. Together, we are making smart manufacturing more secure to ensure production isn't stopped due to a cyberattack.
