Title: Advanced methods and techniques for detecting and preventing attacks on 5G access infrastructure and applications

Codename: 5gSTAR

Implementation period: 01.09.2021 – 31.08.2024

No. arrangement: CYBERSECIDENT/487845/IV/NCBR/2021

5G technology offers mass connectivity, high throughput, reliability and minimization of delays.

Goal:

The main goal of the Project is to develop methods and techniques for identifying and counteracting new, advanced attacks on access infrastructure and 5G applications. Implementation and implementation of the 5gSTAR system will directly contribute to increasing the level of security in the cyberspace of the Republic of Poland.

Detailed scope:

The project focuses on 5G application scenarios requiring very low latency and/or very high reliability (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications, URLLC), i.e. those that fit into modern Industry 4.0 installations. As part of the Project, elements of detection and prevention of attacks are being developed, as well as a security monitoring subsystem that allows for risk assessment and reporting. The developed system will enable integration with client systems, offering protection of ICT infrastructure, detection of threats, protection of privacy, confidentiality, integrity and availability. As a consequence, this will allow for the implementation of secure ICT products and services in cyberspace, especially in the area of operation of key service operators. The project focuses on both attacks observed at layers 1-3 and 4-7 of the ISO/OSI model. It is assumed that the methods of analyzing large data sets (collected from sensors located at various points in the network), statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms will be used.

The 5gSRTAR project will allow the development of methods for recognizing and preventing attacks on 5G networks and applications
