Objective
The book provides a reference material to a comprehensive study of 5G security. It offers an insight into the current and future threats to mobile networks and mechanisms to protect it. It covers the critical lifecycle functions and stages of 5G security, and how to build effective security architecture for 5G based mobile networks. This is the first time mobile network security is addressed based on Network-centricity, Device-centricity, Information-centricity and most importantly People-Centricity in a single book.

Target Audience
This books offers security considerations for all relative stakeholders of mobile networks such as mobile network operators (MNOs), mobile network virtual operators (MVNOs), Mobile users, wireless users, IoT organizations and digital organizations. Furthermore, this book will provide very useful reference material for academic professionals and young students and researchers.
