The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) with 5G simply creates additional threat landscape and any network infrastructure is more vulnerable. Severe attacks on networks potentially damage organization reputation, customers or tenants lose confidence, and impacts operational and maintenance cost. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are an effective approach to mitigate threats. We present a novel IDS mechanism in which the unique Radio Frequency (RF) features of IoT devices are used to create a learning model which is later used to identify the illegitimate devices in the network. Leveraging the Deep Autoencoder (DAE), the existing steady-state feature extraction is generalized. The performance evaluation is conducted using a real data set from different aspects including the mobility of the nodes. The proposed IDS is broken down into pluggable virtual network function (VNF) components and its evaluation is presented for its integration into the 5G network slicing ecosystem from the perspective of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards. A Proof of Concept (PoC) is presented using ETSI Open Source NFV Management and Orchestration (OSM-MANO) test bed, deployed on AWS cloud systems, to show how the proposed approach would fit in with a real-life MANO.
