5G technology represents a revolutionary leap in the world of telecommunications, bringing not only faster and more reliable connectivity, but also entirely new possibilities for industrial applications and public services. The roll-out of 5G networks is a key factor in realising the concept of the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), which enables the interconnection of millions of devices, from smart homes to autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructure. 5G networks promise improvements in several key areas, such as higher data transfer speeds, which allow for the instant downloading and streaming of high-definition content; significantly lower response times (latency), which is crucial for real-time applications such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation and telemedicine; and support for a much greater number of devices per unit area, which is essential for the development of smart cities and IoT applications. Despite these benefits, 5G technology also faces new cyber threats and security challenges. The complex architecture of 5G networks, which encompasses a large number of different devices and systems, potentially increases the scope of attacks and broadens the range of vulnerabilities.
