Security Threats in 5G Edge Computing Environments

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) technology is a key technology for realizing 5G B2B service, which is a market that domestic and foreign mobile network providers strategically target. Since MEC systems operate as open systems capable of running third-party application programs based on cloud and virtualization technologies, they can be a major target of security threats, and the development of detection and response technologies are required. This paper examines the structure and features of the framework, focusing on ETSI's MEC standards, and presents security threats from several perspectives.
