As 5G moves from consumer connectivity to industrial backbone, the security landscape is being fundamentally redrawn. Unlike 4G, 5G relies heavily on software-defined networking and network slicing, which creates a much larger attack surface. This report analyzes the 2025?2030 period, where Security-as-a-Slice is becoming a critical offering. We explore how enterprises are securing their private 5G deployments in smart factories, where low-latency requirements make traditional firewalling impossible. The narrative details the role of AI in detecting slice-jumping attacks and the importance of securing MEC nodes. We also investigate the geopolitical implications of 5G infrastructure security and the move toward Open RAN architectures. By 2030, 5G security will be an automated, real-time function integrated into the network fabric, moving beyond reactive patching to proactive, AI-driven threat hunting.
