The Fifth Generation of Communication Networks (5G) envisions a broader range of services compared to previous generations, supporting an increased number of use cases and applications. The broader application domain leads to increase in consumer use and, in turn, increased hacker activity. Due to this chain of events, strong and efficient security measures are required to create a secure and trusted environment for users. In this paper, we provide an objective overview of 5G security issues and the existing and newly proposed technologies designed to secure the 5G environment. We categorize security technologies using Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layers and, for each layer, we discuss vulnerabilities, threats, security solutions, challenges, gaps and open research issues. While we discuss all seven OSI layers, the most interesting findings are in layer one, the physical layer. In fact, compared to other layers, the physical layer between the base stations and users’ device presents increased opportunities for attacks such as eavesdropping and data fabrication. However, no single OSI layer can stand on its own to provide proper security. All layers in the 5G must work together, providing their own unique technology in an effort to ensure security and integrity for 5G data.
