Abstract
The rapid expansion of fifth-generation (5G) networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) has permanently transformed global communication infrastructures by enabling massive connectivity, ultra-low latency, and real-time data exchange. While these advancements support smart cities, healthcare, industrial automation, and intelligent transportation systems, they simultaneously introduce complex cybersecurity and surveillance challenges. Existing security frameworks often lack the scalability, intelligence, and adaptability required to protect sensitive data and ensure system resilience within dynamic 5G–IoT ecosystems. Critical issues such as real-time threat detection, device-level security, and data integrity remain inadequately addressed. The findings highlight the importance of proactive security strategies and intelligent automation in developing secure next-generation 5G–IoT ecosystems. By bridging theoretical cybersecurity models with real-world applications, this research contributes to advancing resilient digital infrastructures and promoting a secure and trustworthy digital future.
