4G Equipment ID and Subscriber ID Security
Topics related to 4G/LTE security on supported next-generation
firewalls.
To protect 4G/LTE networks, you can enable
security and correlation based on equipment ID and subscriber ID
for the following supported firewall models:
- PA-7500 Series firewalls
- PA-7000 Series firewalls
- PA-5200 Series firewalls
- VM-700, VM-500, VM-300, and VM-100 firewalls
In the following deployment scenario of a private 4G/LTE network,
the 4G core is located on-premises. To enforce security policy for
user and control traffic, the firewall must be positioned on the
4G/LTE interfaces, including the User Plane (S1-U) and the Control
Plane (S11).
The
second firewall in this diagram is positioned on the perimeter (the
SGI interface connected to the internet and the enterprise IT datacenter).
For complete subscriber-level
and equipment-level visibility and security policy control for network
traffic threats, enable GTP Security.
