Abstract
The fifth generation mobile network, or 5G, moves towards bringing solutions to deploying faster networks, with hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections and massive data transfer. For this purpose, several emerging technologies are implemented, resulting in virtualization and self-organization of most of their components, which raises important challenges related to safety. In order to contribute to their resolution, this paper proposes a novel architecture for incident management on 5G. The approach combines the conventional risk management schemes with the Endsley Situational Awareness model, thus improving effectiveness in different aspects, among them the ability to adapt to complex and dynamical monitoring environments, and countermeasure tracking or the role of context when decision-making. The proposal takes into account all layers for information processing in 5G mobile networks, ranging from infrastructure to the actuators responsible for deploying corrective measures.
Highlights
The rapid proliferation of the use of mobile devices has revealed the lack of ability of the current networks to accommodate the vast amount of information that they will have to manage [1,2,3]
Because of its complexity [23], this is the step with the largest presence in the literature, which has motivated the development of specific systems for Information Security Risk Assessment (ISRA)
In order to contribute to their development, this article has presented a novel architecture for incidence management in 5G based on the combination of the cognitive model for Situational Awareness proposed by Endsley, and the guidelines, platforms and more frequent regulations on the identification and assessment of threats
Summary
The rapid proliferation of the use of mobile devices has revealed the lack of ability of the current networks to accommodate the vast amount of information that they will have to manage [1,2,3]. Information security management plays a major role towards achieving the objectives and goals of companies and organizations It has been carried out by implementing guidelines, standards and platforms that aim to protect their resources and assets (ISO/IEC 27000 [7], NIST-SP 800 [8], CVSS-SIG-First [9], MAGERIT [10], ITIL and COBIT [11], etc.). This article introduces a novel architecture for incident management on 5G Mobile networks, which combines the foundations of the traditional risk management guidelines with the Situational Awareness model published by Endsley It covers all layers of information processing in 5G networks, from the infrastructure to the actuators responsible for implementing mitigation actions.
