David Aviv on 5G security
From Delivering Security at the Edge with Radware · · TechArena
“The 5G core (and future 6G) is built on HTTP/web-based protocols, which effectively opens those networks up to the same web-based attacks we've long seen on the internet.”
On , David Aviv, CTO at Radware, spoke about 5G security during Delivering Security at the Edge with Radware on TechArena.
About David Aviv
At RSAC 2025, Aviv stated that the democratization of AI is "changing dramatically not only the security posture but our lifestyle" and argued that human abilities will not keep up with AI abilities. He described seeing "agentic AI bots" that forward JavaScript anti-bot challenges to large language models, which quickly solve them and allow attackers to bypass protections. Aviv said Radware uses AI to build deeper security controls and to protect AI infrastructure, noting that running AI applications creates a new AI supply chain and new threat surfaces. In earlier appearances, Aviv discussed the shift to edge-centric architectures driven by 5G, stating that security must be pushed to the edge and that the 5G core, built on HTTP/web-based protocols, opens networks to web-based attacks. He noted that account takeover has gained momentum via spear-phishing, allowing attackers to assume identities and install stealth agents in cloud environments. Aviv also described Radware's approach to self-learning security algorithms, stating that in one week their devices produced about 130,000 attack events and roughly 99.9% of mitigations were performed automatically.
