  • Publication number: 20240430680
    Abstract: Techniques for mobile network information sharing via extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) for zero trust security are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for mobile network information sharing via eBPF for zero trust security includes monitoring network traffic in a core mobile network using an agent executed on a network element in the core mobile network to identify a session associated with a User Equipment (UE) that attached to the core mobile network for mobile network communications; extracting meta information associated with the session using the agent executed on a network element in the core mobile network; sending the extracted meta information to a security platform located outside of the core mobile network; and enforcing a security policy on the session at the security platform based on the extracted meta information to apply granular-based security in the core mobile network based on a security policy.
