5 Must-Know Facts about 5G Network Security and Its Cloud Benefits Full Text
Abstract
5G is a game changer for mobile connectivity, including mobile connectivity to the cloud. The technology provides high speed and low latency when connecting smartphones and IoT devices to cloud infrastructure. 5G networks are a critical part of all infrastructure layers between the end user and the end service; these networks transmit sensitive data that can be vital for governments and businesses, not to mention individuals. As a result, 5G networks are a prime target for attackers. For this reason, cybersecurity has been a key consideration in developing the 5G standard. 5G encompasses robust security features that guarantee confidentiality, integrity, and availability of network services and user data. In this article, Seva Vayner, Product Owner of Gcore's Edge Cloud service , gives a deep dive into five of 5 G's cutting-edge security measures. He also delves into the pivotal performance capabilities of 5G, accompanied by use cases that demonstrate how contemporary, cloudThe Hacker News

U.S Intelligence Agencies Warn About 5G Network Weaknesses Full Text
Abstract
Inadequate implementation of telecom standards, supply chain threats, and weaknesses in systems architecture could pose major cybersecurity risks to 5G networks, potentially making them a lucrative target for cybercriminals and nation-state adversaries to exploit for valuable intelligence. The analysis, which aims to identify and assess risks and vulnerabilities introduced by 5G adoption, was published on Monday by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), in partnership with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). "As new 5G policies and standards are released, there remains the potential for threats that impact the end-user," the report said . "For example, nation states may attempt to exert undue influence on standards that benefit their proprietary technologies and limit customers' choices to use other equipment or software."

New 5G Network Flaws Let Attackers Track Users’ Locations and Steal Data Full Text
Abstract
As 5G networks are being gradually rolled out in major cities across the world, an analysis of its network architecture has revealed a number of potential weaknesses that could be exploited to carry out a slew of cyber assaults, including denial-of-service (DoS) attacks to deprive subscribers of Internet access and intercept data traffic. The findings form the basis of a new " 5G Standalone core security research " published by London-based cybersecurity firm Positive Technologies today, exactly six months after the firm released its " Vulnerabilities in LTE and 5G Networks 2020 " report in June detailing high impact flaws in LTE and 5G protocols. "Key elements of network security include proper configuration of equipment, as well as authentication and authorization of network elements," Positive Technologies said. "In the absence of these elements, the network becomes vulnerable [to] subscriber denial of service due to exploitation of vulnerabilThe Hacker News
