• Abstract: The vision for 6G aims to enhance network capabilities with faster data rates, near-zero latency, and higher capacity, supporting more connected devices and seamless experiences within an intelligent digital ecosystem where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in network management and data analysis. This advancement seeks to enable immersive mixed-reality experiences, holographic communications, and smart city infrastructures. However, the expansion of 6G raises critical security and privacy concerns, such as unauthorized access and data breaches. This is due to the increased integration of IoT devices, edge computing, and AI-driven analytics. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of 6G protocols, focusing on security and privacy, identifying risks, and presenting mitigation strategies. The survey examines current risk assessment frameworks and advocates for tailored 6G solutions. We further discuss industry visions, government projects, and standardization efforts to balance technological innovation with robust security and privacy measures.
