Smart Grid Security and Resilience

Botnets are one of the most powerful cyberthreats affecting continuity and delivery of existing network services. Detecting and mitigating attacks promoted by botnets become a greater challenge with the advent of 5G networks, as the number of connected devices with high mobility capabilities, the volume of exchange data, and the transmission rates increase significantly. Here, a 5G-oriented solution is proposed for proactively detecting and mitigating botnets in a highly dynamic 5G network. 5G subscribers' mobility requires dynamic network reconfiguration, which is handled by combining software-defined network and network function virtualization techniques.
