ETSI ZSM Driven Security Management in Future Networks

This paper presents a security management framework driven by Zero-Touch Network and Service Management (ZSM) paradigm and embedded in the High-Level Architecture (HLA) developed in the INSPIRE-5Gplus project. This project work also included design and implementation of different smart 5G security methods and techniques that are essential for achieving security management in future networks. Moreover, the paper provides a summary of lessons learned and guidelines gathered during the practical validation activities for bringing closed loop and smart security management into Beyond 5G systems. Finally we discuss the key challenges and future work needed to enable integrating closed-loop security management in future networks.
