Abstract: In various embodiments, a messaging system is provided, where message streaming is employed to exchange information among various components in a network to facilitate Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP hereinafter). In those embodiments, messages may pass through the messaging system via REST API or Kafka with consistent message schemas across the messaging system. In various embodiments, message adaptors are provided when different message schemas of the same message is used in the network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices manage security controls associated with cloud accounts in a virtual private cloud. An example process includes retrieving native data and nonnative data for the cloud accounts. The cloud accounts comprise cloud roles that have access to cloud resources. Data for identities mapped to the cloud roles is retrieved. The identities are mapped in an identity management system. The retrieved native data for the cloud accounts, the retrieved nonnative data for the cloud accounts, and the retrieved data for the identities mapped to the cloud roles are compared to a security policy to identify a deviation in a cloud account from the cloud accounts. The cloud account is modified to remediate the deviation from the security policy.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices automatically remediate denial-of-service (DOS) attacks on a 5G data and telephone network. An example process counts a number of dynamic ports assigned to a service running on a virtualized resource of the 5G data and telephone network. The process determines whether the number of dynamic ports assigned to the service of the 5G data and telephone network is greater than a first threshold. A processor load of the service running on the virtualized resource of the 5G data and telephone network is retrieved. The processor load of the service may be less than a second threshold, indicating a DOS attack in the 5G data and telephone network. The DOS attack is remediated by taking an action on the host operating system of the virtualized resource of the 5G data and telephone network.

Abstract: A data pipeline architecture provides for efficient and scalable data collection within a 5G, 6G or other radio access network (RAN)-based wireless network. The data pipeline includes a data collection engine that receives streaming data in real time, as well as query-based data. The data collection engine collects the data, amalgamates the streaming and the query-based data into a common format, and provides the amalgamated data for delivery to a data reporting engine. The data reporting engine provides dashboards, reports, alerts or other information about the collected data. The data reporting engine may also interface with a database system for longer-term storage of collected data, report generation and/or the like.

Abstract: Devices, systems and process for authenticating devices are described. For at least one embodiment, a process for authenticating an IoT device with a hub to initiate an authenticated session, includes the operations of establishing an electronic data connection between an IoT device and a hub, sending an initial authentication signal including a cryptologic component and at least two perceptible components, receiving a responsive message secured by a cryptologic component and including a selection of at least one of the at least two perceptible components, determining whether the selection includes the identifying perceptible component, and establishing an authenticated session between the hub and the IoT device, if the result of the determining step is affirmative.
