Maida

The Nigerian Communication Commission has called for collaborations with stakeholders to address potential risks in the telecom sector as it sets mulls 6G technology.

The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, disclosed this during a two-day Telecoms Industry Risk Management conference with the theme “Evolution and Future Risk Management in the Telecoms Industry: Harnessing Emerging Technologies and Trends”, held in Lagos recently.

The EVC, represented by Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, NCC, Ubale Maska at the event, explained that risks such as expanded attack surfaces, advanced cyber attacks, data breaches, and an increased sophistication of cyber threats would come with emerging technologies like 6G.

Stressing the need for the implemention of proactive measures before the introduction of 6G is necessary towards ensuring seamless technology integration.

He underscored the increasing importance of robust risk management practices to navigate this dynamic environment.

“Today, we stand at the crossroads of tradition and transformation, where emerging technologies and trends present both unprecedented opportunities and challenges.

“While we discuss the current landscape of 5G networks, which boast of wider attack surface due to the increased number of connected devices and denser network infrastructure, it is imperative to even cast our gaze into the future.

“We are witnessing the dawn of 6G technology, the next frontier in wireless communication,” Maida.

According to the EVC, with promises of even faster speeds, lower latency, and groundbreaking applications, 6G has the potential to revolutionise the way people experience connectivity.

He further noted emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence should be leveraged to generate data-driven insights needed to predict, detect, and respond to risks in real-time.
