Zero Touch Network and Service Management (ZSM) Security

The Zero Touch Network and Service Management (ZSM) concept is crucial for the development of 6G networks, as it provides a framework for automating network and service management processes. In this chapter, we examine the importance of ZSM in enabling the efficient deployment and management of 6G networks, as well as the security issues that may arise from its implementation. By the end of this chapter, readers should have a better understanding of the ZSM architecture, its potential applications in 6G network management, and the potential security challenges that must be addressed in order to ensure its effective implementation.
