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.
