Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

With increasing transformations in information technology, telecommunication, digital transformation of the economy itself, the risk that users across industry verticals are getting exposed to, is rising on a daily basis. Defaming people on the internet, third party cookies, fraudulent activities, leakage of personal data, financial and bank details etc. are just a few examples on expanding threats and illegal activities that take place on the internet. With 5G, IoT, AR etc. the potential threats increase ten-fold.

5G’s dynamic software-based systems have far more traffic routing points. To be adequately secure, suitable controls are to be embedded to enable security monitoring. Since this might prove difficult, any unsecured areas might compromise other parts of network. Speed and volume will challenge security teams to create new methods for stopping threats.

Virtual and Augmented Reality are technologies that are going to aid the growth of all verticals. Our data that lies in some corner of AR/VR companies can be accessed and viewed not only by these companies but by malicious actors too, in case suitable security arrangements are not embedded. Malicious players use our behavioral data to impersonate us and try to interact with our family members or carry out illicit activity. A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack has the potential to overwhelm the network with irrelevant data, thereby disrupting the user’s VR experiences. Besides, the attack can manipulate content to the extent that users can start feeling physically sick.
