SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN IOT SYSTEMS DURING THE TRANSITION TO 5G/6G NETWORKS: CHALLENGES AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS
Abstract
This bibliographic research explores the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its critical relationship with cybersecurity in the face of the evolution of mobile communication technologies towards 5G and 6G networks. The objective is to analyze how the implementation of IoT solutions, leveraging the ultra- low latency and connection density of 5G/6G, amplifies the security vulnerabilities inherent in these devices, such as compromised Root-of-Trust attacks and large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. It is observed that, despite the potential for service innovation in critical services (e.g., telemedicine), secure adoption faces significant barriers, such as the need for investment in edge security infrastructure, the scarcity of specialized talents, and the management of ethical and data privacy issues in massively interconnected environments. This work seeks to identify the main competitive and resilience challenges provided by the IoT-5G/6G convergence and the critical challenges that technology leaders must overcome. The methodology employed is a bibliographic review, using scientific articles, market reports, and specialized literature to support the analysis of the current and future landscape. It is concluded that proactive end-to-end security is an indispensable vector for trust and competitiveness, requiring companies not only technological investment in solutions like Artificial Intelligence (AI) for anomaly detection and Blockchain for data immutability, but also a profound cultural and strategic shift focused on governance.
