The U.S. Government Accountability Office is urging policymakers to adopt coordinated cybersecurity monitoring of 5G networks.

The report also states that carriers may not be comfortable reporting incidents or vulnerabilities, and determinations would need to be made about what information is disclosed and how the information will be used and reported.”]
