Abstract
While the fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks are still being studied, there is already speculation about sixth-generation (6G) echo systems. We understand that 5G is still new to the world, under proper implementation, and might have numerous problems. However, we must continue moving toward the better and the issues faced by 5G can be addressed while working with the 6G technology.
To increase security and privacy in 6G networks, we investigated the possible impact of security on wireless systems, found concerns with different technologies, and provided remedies. The limitations of 5G networks have been realized as more and more 5G networks have been deployed, which surely encourages additional research into 6G networks as the next-generation answer. More and more 5G networks are being deployed. The global deployment of 5G communication has been delayed owing to network security issues. As a result, research into 6G security analysis is critically required.
The 6G of wireless technology is the successor of 5G. This technology is still in development at various scientific and educational institutions. The 6G technology works on untapped radio frequencies and uses multiple cognitive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) for implementation. The 6G technology is an upgrade, not only to the technological world but also to the standard of living for people. That is why many countries have shown interest in this wireless technology.
This article analyzes potential cyber-defense options for 5G and upcoming 6G networks. After thoroughly reviewing existing literature and industry practices, we discuss proactive approaches such as network segmentation, encryption protocols, intrusion detection systems, and AI-powered threat intelligence.
