Intelligent Security and User Equipment Correlation with IP Addresses

Learn how to configure Intelligent Security to correlate user equipment with IP addresses.
Identity information, such as the Subscriber ID (IMSI or SUPI) and Equipment ID (IMEI or PEI) for User Equipment (UE) mobile devices, are critical for security policy in 5G and 4G/LTE mobile networks. Intelligent Security helps correlate user equipment information with IP addresses by mapping the subscriber ID and equipment ID to the IP address associated with traffic from the UE, ensuring consistent security policy enforcement in your mobile network.
The following platforms support UEIP Correlation:
  • VM-Series
  • CN-Series
  • PA-3430 and PA-3440
  • PA-5410, PA-5420, PA-5430, and PA-5440
The firewall supports multiple protocols to obtain the UE to IP address mappings and adds them to a database on the firewall, which it queries for the correlated mobile user information to enforce security policy.
