Abstract	The rapid deployment of 5G networks is transforming the telecommunications industry by offering unprecedented speeds, ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT). However, alongside the promises of 5G come new security challenges and evolving threats that could undermine the integrity and reliability of these networks. As 5G networks rely heavily on virtualized infrastructures, cloud technologies, and diverse communication paradigms, they introduce new vectors for cyber-attacks. This paper explores the evolving threats to 5G networks, including vulnerabilities specific to 5G architecture, potential attack surfaces, and the emerging risks posed by the integration of new technologies. Furthermore, the paper reviews current security mechanisms and frameworks, while proposing a multi-layered approach for addressing these challenges. The importance of proactive security measures, collaboration between stakeholders, and continuous evolution of defense strategies are emphasized to safeguard 5G networks.
