Integration of AI in 5G Network Cybersecurity: Privacy and Security Concerns

http://jips-k.org/static/si

The adaptation of the 5th generation cellular (5G) network will probably generate risks in itself. Even some operators claim that devices support 5G when they do not. Still we have to handle lot of issues before the carriers expand 5G coverage enough that most people can use it securely. The hype around the extremely fast speeds these devices will provide has effectively masked important privacy and security concerns raised by the new technology. Rather the consequence of the increased speed and slower latency offered by 5G, most of them are not exactly the fault of the new protocol itself. For instance, the dramatic expansion of the bandwidth that makes 5G possible creates new paths of attack. The dynamic spectrum sharing feature of 5G allows multiple streams of information to share bandwidth in slices. Each slice has its own degree of cyber risk. When the software allows network functions to move dynamically, cyber ​​protection must also be dynamic rather than relying on a uniform solution of the lowest common denominator.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques into networks is one way the industry can address these issues and challenges. Network intelligence and automation are essential to the evolution of 5G, IoT and Industry 4.0. Incorporating AI algorithms into 5G networks can improve automation and scalability, enabling efficient orchestration and dynamic provisioning of the network slice. AI can collect real-time information for multidimensional analysis and build a panoramic data map of each slice of network to provide dynamic cyber protection.
