With 24 years of industry experience, Akiyama (pictured) has previously worked for Cloudflare, Ciena, Juniper Networks, Avaya and Nortel Networks. His appointment is part of AdaptiveMobile Security's Asia Pacific expansion strategy. Anthony Vimal, CRO of AdaptiveMobile Security, said: “Mobile operators are constantly confronted with new evolving threat vectors, especially as we transition to 5G. The convergence of IT and telecom protocols under 5G presents a much greater threat landscape for mobile operators, governments and regulators. With the huge increase of more sensitive and valuable data in the 5G core network, there is also an increase in the interest of fraudsters, hackers and nation states in getting access to this data or other attacks impacting subscribers and networks.
