5G benefits IIoT and edge processing, and there is little that suggests that 5G is more secure than 4G. It still has the same flaws but only the data rate is so huge that only a well funded and sophisticated lab has the ability to conduct research, but reduces access to doing research for most.

5G has even bigger implications on defense outside the small niche (of MIL spec) smart-phones. The risks are massive for a military to rely on such a consumer-grade tech. But never mind bug/back-doors Trusting foreign (multinational) vendors with this (no matter how friendly) will never work because the trust assumption beneath is already flawed.
