How to Assess 5G Core Network Security
Validating 5G Core Network Functions Against Security Standards and Threats
5G Core (5GC) networks run cloud-native network functions (CNFs) in service-based architectures where every software update can introduce new vulnerabilities. Assessing these networks requires three categories of testing: compliance, performance, and security. Beyond automated standards-based testing, a complete 5G security assessment includes penetration testing.
Pentesters scope the engagement, probe for vulnerabilities across external and internal boundaries, exploit discovered weaknesses, escalate privileges, and deliver prioritized findings with remediation guidance. Tests may use black box, grey box, or white box approaches depending on how much system information the tester receives. Automated vulnerability scanning of web applications, networks, source code, and connected devices completes the assessment.
