GTP Support for Intelligent Security

Learn about support for inspection of GTP traffic using Intelligent Security.
Intelligent Security, also known as User Equipment to IP Address Mapping or UEIP, helps to correlate mobile user equipment (UE) with IP addresses for security policy enforcement. By mapping the subscriber ID and equipment ID to the IP address associated with traffic from the user equipment (UE), Intelligent Security allows you to create security policy rules for mobile network traffic and helps to ensure consistent application of the security policy rules throughout all of the devices on your network. Configuring Intelligent Security for UEIP Correlation helps you to apply subscriber and equipment identity-based security policy in an enterprise 5G network and to provide advanced threat prevention service for your enterprise 5G customers.
To enable even more deployment options when using Intelligent Security for your mobile infrastructure security policy, Intelligent Security now supports the GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) traffic in addition to Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) and Remote Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) traffic. When you select GTP as the source for UEIP Correlation with Intelligent Security, you can also optionally apply a number of additional security measures, such as protocol validity checks, as well as gain important context through additional visibility for important information contained in GTP session logs.
By providing a simple method to secure your mobile network traffic, whether it is for perimeter security, RAN security, core security, or roaming security, Intelligent Security helps you to establish a zero trust security policy for the traffic on your 5G and 4G/LTE mobile networks.
