Unsupervised anomaly detection is widely used to detect Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks in cloud-native 5G networks, yet most studies assume a fixed traffic representation, either temporal or structural, without validating…

The sophistication and diversity of contemporary cyberattacks have rendered the use of proxies, gateways, firewalls, and encrypted tunnels as a standalone defensive strategy inadequate. Consequently, the proactive identification of data…
