MECHATRON – Security Analysis of 6G and 5G Networks Using Multiaccess Edge Computing

Network security is a continuously evolving procedure now present in every aspect of communications. 5G and 6G networks are examples of networks that can suffer from network security problems and become critical assets for every operation. While the security of the infrastructure is operated at lower layers of the ISO-OSI stack and dedicated protocols or by specific researches on network slicing and Service Management and Orchestration [1], services such as Multiaccess Edge Computing, Virtual Network Functions, and network assets need to be secured. We propose a security tool enabled by MEC: MECHATRON, which covers the security of Assets, Services, and Continuous Monitoring through an integrated platform.
