Intelligent cyber-threat awareness system for 5G networks

5G is the latest and fastest wireless internet technology that is not only being used by phone companies, but also in businesses, factories, and the military. As 5G is being used in more places and for different purposes, it gets more complicated and faces more security risks. Imagine many different gadgets, from phones to cars to tiny sensors, all connecting to this internet. The more gadgets, the more chances for bad actors to attack. Our research project wants to use a special method, called the “FiGHT framework”, to spot and understand these potential threats. We will gather data, like logs and security checks, to map out the risks. With the help of artificial intelligence, we want to create a smart system that can tell us where the dangers might come from and how to protect against them. This will be helpful for experts who try to find these threats and those who work to stop them, making 5G safer for everyone.
