Digital on-demand coupons for security service of communications system

A security system comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, cause the security system to:
• analyze vulnerabilities and risks applicable to a network entity based on time of day, geographic location, and user preferences;
• identify, by a User Data Management (UDM) function of a 5G network, a cybersecurity threat applicable to the network entity based on the vulnerabilities and the risks;
• send, by an Access and Mobility Management function (AMF) of the 5G network, a digital on-demand coupon to the network entity,
• wherein the on-demand coupon is configured as an offer that, when redeemed, causes the security system to perform an action that protects the network entity from the cybersecurity threat;
• and
• in response to the network entity accepting the offer for the on-demand coupon, cause the security system to perform the action that protects the network entity from the cybersecurity threat,
• wherein protecting the network entity from the cybersecurity threat comprises executing software on a device associated with the network entity.

A method performed by a security system of a 5G network to prevent cyberattacks on a personalized basis, comprising:

• identifying a cybersecurity threat to a wireless device based on contextual information relating to the wireless device, a user preference of a user associated with the wireless device, or a call detail record associated with the wireless device;
• determining a one-time fee to charge the user in exchange for protecting the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat,
• wherein the one-time fee is determined based on a policy stored at a policy function of the 5G network;
• generating a digital on-demand coupon to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat,
• wherein the on-demand coupon is only redeemable for the wireless device and indicates the cybersecurity threat and the one-time fee;
• sending, to the wireless device, the on-demand coupon based at least in part on the contextual information relating to the wireless device and the user preference;
• receiving an indication that the on-demand coupon was redeemed for the wireless device,
• wherein redeeming requires payment of the one-time fee;
• and
• in response to receiving the indication that the on-demand coupon was redeemed, deploying a network asset to protect the wireless device against the cybersecurity threat.
