Next-Generation Threat Detection and Mitigation in 6G Wireless Networks Using IAM, ZTNA and Advanced Security Mechanisms

Abstract

As the deployment of 6G wireless networks looms on the horizon, the imperative to fortify their security infrastructure becomes increasingly pressing. One way to achieve this is through Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworks to implement strong authentication and authorization mechanisms. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architectures advocate for a shift towards continuous verification and least-privileged access principles. Secure network segmentation and behavior anomaly detection systems limit the scope of potential breaches. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) detect and block cyber threats. These advanced security mechanisms improve the resilience of 6G networks and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical network assets. IAM protocols exhibit fast user authentication speeds with average authentication time of 0.5 seconds. ZTNA frameworks ensure high network security with a 98% detection rate of abnormal network behaviors
