Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operation comprising:
determining whether there is an existence of a malicious attack involving a portion of a group of devices associated with a radio access network device of a communication network to disrupt a service associated with the radio access network device, based on analysis of data relating to respective attributes associated with respective devices of the group of devices and a defined baseline that indicates whether the malicious attack exists, wherein the group of devices comprises a first device and a second device; and
with regard to the first device and the second device attempting to connect to the radio access network device, and in response to determining that there is the existence of the malicious attack:
determining a first priority level associated with a first message attempted to be communicated by the first device, and a second priority level associated with a second message attempted to be communicated by the second device, based on the analysis;
determining that the first device is to be connected to the radio access network device to communicate the first message based on the first priority level being determined to satisfy a defined threshold priority level; and
determining that the second device is to be blocked from connecting to the radio access network device based on the second priority level being determined not to satisfy the defined threshold priority level.
