5G Core Network Security Testing Priorities

The evolution of 5G core networks has redefined the security landscape. While this transformation brings increased flexibility, scalability, and innovation, it also introduces new risks across a significantly broader and more fragmented attack surface. Effective security testing now demands a shift in both mindset and methodology.

The requirements for 5G security are continually progressing, as is the attack surface. To address that challenge, 5G security was redesigned to address the known vulnerabilities within the architecture of earlier networks as new cybersecurity frameworks were added to address the threat evolution.
