The 5G technology ensures reliable and affordable broadband access worldwide, increases user mobility, and assures reliable and affordable connectivity of a wide range of electronic devices such as the Internet of Things (IoT).SDN (Software Defined Networking), NFV (Network Function Virtualization), and cloud computing are three technologies that every technology provider or technology enabler tries to incorporate into their products to capitalize on the useability of the 5th generation. The emergence of 5G networks and services expands the range of security threats and leads to many challenges in terms of user privacy and security. The purpose of this research paper is to define the security challenges and threats associated with implementing this technology, particularly those affecting user privacy. This research paper will discuss some solutions related to the challenges that occur when implementing 5G, and also will provide some guidance for further development and implementation of a secure 5G system.
