5G Standalone (SA) networks offer significant connectivity upgrades from 4G and other legacy standards. Notably, private 5G enables enterprises to support mission- and safety-critical applications, such as industrial robotics or remote surgeries. Although 5G SA networks make significant improvements to security compared to previous mobile generations, malicious actors continue to evolve their tactics. For 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) networks, a hybridized model creates a security landscape with significant complexity, with cross-correlation of threat indicators critical to tackling attacks.
