6G-SENTINEL 2027

Security Automation and Cyber Threat Intelligence for AI-Native 6G

Connecting trustworthy intelligence, constrained security actions and measurable assurance. Join the conversation shaping dependable, autonomous 6G networks.

Washington, DC, USA
ICC: 30 May–3 June 2027

Trustworthy 6G security automation

From intelligence to action.
From action to evidence.

How can AI-native networks act on threat intelligence while preserving service continuity? 6G-SENTINEL brings together research on trustworthy intelligence, assured automated response and continuous assurance.

  1. 01 / Intelligence

    Trustworthy CTI

    Telemetry, provenance and confidence

  2. 02 / Action

    Constrained security action

    Policy, oversight and recovery

  3. 03 / Assurance

    Measurable assurance

    Evaluation, resilience and service impact

Post-action evidence feeds back into subsequent security decisions.

From threat intelligence to verified security outcomes.

Call for Papers

We welcome original architectures, algorithms, protocols, analytical studies and experimental research. Contributions can address individual research pillars or their integration across AI-RAN, Open RAN, cloud-edge-core and terrestrial/non-terrestrial networks.

01

Trusted intelligence

6G-native CTI; telemetry provenance and confidence; cross-domain sharing; anomaly detection; federated learning; resilience to poisoned data and intelligence feeds.

02

Assured automated response

Policy-constrained AI agents; explainable security orchestration; xApps/rApps; human oversight, rollback and recovery; zero trust and secure AI lifecycles.

03

Continuous assurance

Testbeds, cyber ranges and digital twins; repeatable security evaluation; measurable remediation; service impact, resilience, privacy and energy overhead.
