Abstract: A method performed by a security system of a 5G network to protect against cyberattacks on a personalized basis. The security system can identify a cybersecurity threat to a wireless device based on contextual information relating to the wireless device, a user preference, or a call detail record. The security system can determine a one-time fee to charge the user in exchange for protecting the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat, generate an on-demand coupon to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat, and send the on-demand coupon to the wireless device based at least in part on the contextual information relating to the wireless device and the user preference. When the security system receives an indication that the on-demand coupon was redeemed, responds by deploying a network asset to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat.

Abstract: Personalized sensory services are provided to mobile devices. As a sensor monitors an area of surveillance, the sensor may detect a passing mobile device. The sensor may thus ally itself to the passing mobile device and provide personalized sensory operations.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a request for access to a wireless network via an access point. Responsive to a first determination that the identifier corresponds to an entry in the list, access is facilitated to the wireless network via the access point without the equipment of the requesting user providing credentials to the wireless network. The list includes a first set of entries corresponding to a first set of users having unrestricted access and a second set of entries corresponding to a second set of users having restricted access. Responsive to a second determination that the identifier does not correspond to any of the entries, a message is transmitted to equipment of the host regarding the request, and responsive to receiving approval, the list is updated to include the identifier. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method performed by a wireless network to mitigate a security risk arising from an application-layer transaction and contextual scenario of a wireless device (WD). A security resource can be maintained inactive by default and configured for on-demand activation in response to a security risk associated with the WD. The method can include monitoring the WD for application-layer transactions and contextual scenarios, and detecting a security risk relative to a particular type of a application-layer transaction and a contextual scenario of the WD. In response to detecting the security risk, the security resource is activated to support the application-layer transaction while safeguarding the entire wireless network. In response to detecting a change to the application-layer transaction or the particular contextual scenario, the security resource for the WD can be deactivated.

Abstract: A method performed by a cybersecurity system includes monitoring multiple network functions (NFs) of a service-based architecture (SBA) of a 5G network. The NFs are communicatively interconnected over an HTTP/2 interface. The cybersecurity system detects potentially malicious network traffic communicated over the HTTP/2 interface, identifies a NFs or associated services that are susceptible to a cyberattack based on the potentially malicious network traffic and deploys resources to secure the NFs or associated services. In one example, the resources are prioritized for a most frequently used (MFU) or most recently used (MRU) NF or associated service.

Abstract: The technology described herein documents and verifies interactions in a cloud computing environment. The system creates a first partition within the cloud computing environment for a first entity and a second partition within the cloud computing environment for a second entity. A blockchain ledger can be created for a set of interactions between the first entity and the second entity, where the blockchain ledger is disengaged when the first entity and the second entity are not interacting. The system can receive a request from the first entity for an interaction with the second entity and can activate the blockchain ledger. In response to receiving consensus from a blockchain community within the cloud computing environment, the system can allow the interaction, where the interaction is appended to the blockchain ledger.

Abstract: An outbound roaming system detects that a wireless device has left a home wireless network and, in response, identifies a visited wireless network on which the wireless device is likely to roam or is currently roaming. The outbound roaming system queries the visited wireless network to offer security information for the wireless device. The security information can include a security parameter for the visited wireless network to mitigate a potential cyberattack enabled by the wireless device. In response to receiving an acceptance of the offer and satisfying a condition, the outbound roaming system provides the security information to the visited wireless network. As such, the visited wireless network can dynamically defend against cyberattacks enabled by roaming devices.

Abstract: A security system generates a digital signature for a small cell of a wireless network and assigns the digital signature to the small cell for connecting to the wireless network. The digital signature can be generated based on a connectivity schedule for the small cell. When the security system obtains a connection request from the small cell to connect to the wireless network, the security system compares an instance of the digital signature included in the connection request with an expected digital signature and compares the point in time when the connection request was communicated with an expected time indicated in the connectivity schedule. The security system detects an anomaly when the instance of the digital signature deviates from the expected digital signature or the point in time deviates from the expected time, and causes performance of an action based on a type or degree of the anomaly.
