The greater power of 5G networks will allow for saving the electromagnetic funnel that occurs in these agglomerations.<\/p>\n<p>These are very obvious advantages, which will contribute to the improvement of communications and also to the expansion of connected devices, especially those that use the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5G_network_security\"><\/span>5G network security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, 5G will bring with it an important revolution in the way of facing computer security, since it is a communication structure supported by virtual systems, which poses new challenges to be able to shield the data that will travel through this network.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The intrinsic risk is that 5G depends on numerous technologies that make up several layers (<a href=\"https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/video\/telecom\/wireless\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-5g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">1<\/a>), each with its own security challenges, and there are no simple solutions to analyze the security of these environments before deployment,&#8221; says the Director of the research group Network, Information and Computer Security Lab (NICS Lab) of the University of Malaga, Javier L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n<p>This research group at the University of Malaga, made up of around twenty people, has specialized in the development of cybersecurity systems, and in recent times has been focusing on researching solutions for this technology.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extreme_cybersecurity_with_5G\"><\/span>Extreme cybersecurity with 5G<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Javier L\u00f3pez, who since last February has been vice-rector for Business, Territory and Digital Transformation, explains that these networks must take extreme security measures, since \u201cnumerous services will depend on the entire 5G infrastructure, which will offer the support for the deployment of new business models \u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, the infrastructures that make these networks possible also become an objective to protect. They will be much more sensitive infrastructures, since a fall could lead to a real disaster, as the services and devices hooked on this technology multiply, some of them especially sensitive, such as health services or autonomous transport.<\/p>\n<p>As the NICS Lab director explains, 5G networks will be exposed to the same threats as today&#8217;s networks. But they are much more sensitive because the effect of an attack can have a much greater effect than one of today&#8217;s networks, due to &#8220;the dependence that we will have on these systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safer_networks\"><\/span>Safer networks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite all the threats, and precisely for this reason, 5G technology has security advantages over previous networks. For example, it streamlines the configuration of the infrastructure and allows various dimensions for device management, which, in Javier L\u00f3pez&#8217;s opinion, \u201cimproves the planning of security policies, as long as possible threats are carefully analyzed. over the different layers of communications. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NICS Lab has participated and led several research projects on security in 5G networks. His work consists mainly of analyzing the security advantages of this technology in the deployment of the most exposed devices in this environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vehicle_Internet_with_5G_networks\"><\/span>Vehicle Internet with 5G networks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the SAVE project focuses on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), where the connected vehicle needs minimal response times that only 5G can offer (for example, to react to an accident or an abrupt change in conditions of the road) \u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This project has two derivatives. On the one hand, how to contribute to making 5G for the Internet of vehicles a reality, with the identification of security problems; and how to prevent these security issues from spreading to end devices, which in this case are autonomous cars, a highly compromised matter, because no autonomous vehicle can be allowed to be controlled by a hacker.<\/p>\n<p>With these projects, the University of Malaga reinforces its strategic position as a benchmark in technology, and puts itself at the forefront of the Technological Park of this province, one of the most leading in Europe, where digital advances are being cooked up that will introduce truly disruptive changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is great expectation for the advances in communications that 5G networks will bring.
