Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, the growing need for secure and efficient communication systems has driven the development of fifth-generation (5G) networks characterized by extremely low latency, massive device connectivity and high data transfer speeds. However, the deployment of 5G networks presents significant security challenges, requiring advanced and robust solutions to counter increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This paper proposes a testbed and software architecture to strengthen the security of Private 5G Networks, particularly in industrial communication environments.
