A demonstration earlier this year at Stanford School of Engineering proved that a small fleet of computer-controlled drones can maintain their flight integrity in the face of continual cyberattacks on the 5G network used to manage the devices through the deployment of software-defined networking (SDN)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For enterprise IT pros charged with securing devices wirelessly across a 5G <\/a>network, the drone test results are promising evidence that SDN can help networks under cyberattack to recover almost instantaneously.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Project Pronto, the ongoing research is designed to show how devices such as autonomous motor vehicles, planes and trains can be operated securely and reliably across wireless 5G networks. Given the potentially disastrous consequences of large wireless devices being hacked while traveling at high speeds or elevations, vulnerabilities that could endanger lives must be addressed before such devices are widely deployed.<\/p>\n
