Mobile user identity and/or SIM-based IoT identity and application identity based security enforcement in service provider networks

Abstract:

Techniques for mobile user identity and/or SIM-based IoT identity and application identity based security enforcement in service provider networks (e.g., service provider networks for mobile subscribers) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for mobile user identity and/or SIM-based IOT identity and application identity based security enforcement in service provider networks includes monitoring network traffic on a service provider network at a security platform to identify a subscriber identity for a new session; determining an application identifier for user traffic associated with the new session at the security platform; and determining a security policy to apply at the security platform to the new session based on the subscriber identity and the application identifier.
