Continuous Monitoring of Eminent Threats in 5G Network Systems (COMETS) proposes a Mobile Device Management system able to monitor and detect malicious activity in foreign owned, both trusted and untrusted 5G networks. COMETS can operate on user devices or network edge and uses physical and network layer data to detect anomalous behavior. COMETS uses physical and network layer data collected from UE’s 5G antenna, feeds it into a self-supervised learning (SSL) model which determines anomalous behavior in a 5G network. The system can detect threats and malicious activity coming both from rogue user devices in the network, and compromised or potentially malicious VNFs in the 5G Core.
