The rapid development of digital technologies in the context of the constant emergence of innovative opportunities and advanced developments is a logical outcome of technological progress. However, with the advent of numerous innovations in the IT field, the risks of cyberattacks and threats to data safety have increased, respectively. Attackers often use high-tech developments to steal valuable data or inject malicious software. In mobile networks, information leakage threats are the reason for creating robust security applications and tools aimed at minimizing the risks of cyberattacks. One of the technologies designed to make the Internet connection more stable and secure is 5G, the latest generation of telecommunications communications, which follows the enhanced standards for connections among digital devices. As valuable implications of 5G, one can highlight more convenient network resource management and improved workflow management capabilities, impacting network security positively. This paper aims to present findings from academic resources on the application of 5G technology to ensure cybersecurity, as well as describe its role in creating secure communication networks. As the databases, the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library, Science Direct, and Dissertations & Theses (ProQuest) have been utilized to search for relevant resources. Such keywords have been used as “5G,” “network,” “security,” “cybersecurity,” “threat,” and “risk.” The sources are credible and relevant, and one can note that the 5G network is a sustainable and secure technology that guarantees a high level of protection against cyber threats and allows managing risks successfully.

Enabling cyber-physical communication in 5G cellular networks: Challenges, spatial spectrum sensing, and cyber-security. IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory & Applications , 2 (1), 49-54. Web. The authors note that the 5G technology under consideration can improve the stability of connected physical devices due to the advanced communication scheme. In addition, due to more modern communication channels, cybersecurity can be enhanced in such networks through enhanced authentication. To manage risks, 5G networks involve utilizing special keys and connection algorithms that minimize user involvement and preserve data confidentiality by using cryptographic tools to keep data safe. To increase resistance to threats, the researchers state that the updated telecommunication technology offers the introduction of high-precision detention mechanisms. They help identify malware and other dangerous processes timely to take the necessary measures. Today’s connections between devices may be at risk of data leakage, but with robust security channels, 5G discourages theft and enhances the security of digital content. Batalla, J.
