There is currently no real-time vulnerability assessment framework that specifically addresses 5G Edge networks, with regard to their real-time scalability and dynamic nature. Both aspects present a risk to consumers, governments, and businesses alike.

Some security concerns involve the network itself, while others focus on the devices connected to 5G.

To avoid the growing risks of hacking, 5G cybersecurity needs some significant improvements. As a result, 5G is more flexible and scalable than 4G LTE and previous generations. This enables 5G to implement network slicing to meet the unique requirements of every application. With 5G, new tech advancements and innovation are expected 5G currently operates on software-defined networking. Overall, 5G networks are expected to become the backbone of many critical IT applications.
