Application: Applying subscriber-id based security, equipment-id based security, and/or network slice-id based security with user-id and syslog messages in mobile networks (Patent ID: US20240073698A1)
The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes techniques for implementing subscriber-ID, equipment-ID, and network slice-ID based security in mobile networks using user-ID and syslog messages. The system involves monitoring network traffic, extracting parameters from syslog messages, and applying security policies based on subscriber-ID, equipment-ID, and network slice-ID to enhance context-based security in the mobile network. The system can receive syslog messages from both 4G and 5G network entities, enabling the application of various security policies in private 4G and 5G networks. Additionally, the system can perform threat identification, application control, URL filtering, and access control based on the security policy to ensure comprehensive security measures in the mobile network.
The claims associated with the patent outline the specific functionalities and configurations of the system, including the ability to enforce subscriber-ID, equipment-ID, and network slice-ID based security, receive syslog messages from different network entities, and perform various security measures such as threat identification, application control, and URL filtering. The method described in the patent involves monitoring network traffic, extracting parameters from syslog messages, and enforcing security policies based on subscriber-ID, equipment-ID, and network slice-ID to enhance context-based security in the mobile network. The computer program product detailed in the patent provides instructions for implementing the described techniques in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, enabling the application of subscriber-ID, equipment-ID, and network slice-ID based security in mobile networks using user-ID and syslog messages.
