GSMA Intelligence Unveils Telecom Cybersecurity Blueprint at UBBF 2026

Vienna – – October 14, 2026 -- GSMA Intelligence presented its white paper "a target architecture for telecoms cybersecurity" for the first time globally at the Net5.5G Intelligent IP Network Summit, held during the Global Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) 2026. At the same event, ITU-T SG13 and WBBA launched a joint initiative urging carriers to build secure, resilient networks as AI reshapes both threats and revenue models.

GSMA Intelligence names native security and in-depth defense as the two core pillars

The white paper calls for security to be embedded in network elements across design, production, deployment and operation ("Native Security"). Its second pillar, in-depth defense, provides multi-layered, domain-based protection against complex and persistent threats.
