Software Defined Security Monitoring in 5G Networks

This chapter introduces a Software Defined Security Monitoring for 5G Networks. The use of novel Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) concepts in 5G monitoring systems can address the classical weaknesses in legacy monitoring systems. The chapter highlights new opportunities that will help achieve efficient SDN‐ and‐NFV based 5G network monitoring. Moreover, it presents the challenges introduced by SDN and NFV in 5G monitoring systems and how the 5G operators need to tackle them by using efficient network monitoring solutions
