| contents | Future G network's new reality is a widespread cyber-physical environment created by Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC). It is a crucial technology that transforms wireless connections into ubiquitous sensors. ISAC unlocks transformative new capabilities, powering autonomous systems, augmented human sensing, and next-generation immersive applications, such as digital twins. However, this new reality fundamentally reshapes the security landscape. The primary security concern shifts from the traditional focus on data protection to a new priority: safeguarding the integrity of the system's perception of physical reality itself. This perception can be perilously manipulated by sophisticated attacks such as sensing eavesdropping, phantom dangers, and invisible threats, potentially resulting in direct and catastrophic physical harm. Traditional security measures, such as signature-based detection, are insufficient to counter these perception-level threats that mimic genuine physical signals. A proactive, layered, defense-in-depth strategy is required, integrating physical, environmental, intelligence, and architectural security measures to build a trustworthy ecosystem. Additionally, realizing ISAC's potential responsibly also depends on parallel efforts in global standardization and strong governance to address the significant challenges of privacy, liability, and the technology's dual-use. |
