Abstract
Cloud-based 5G security, implemented in a Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) system, includes steps of receiving a request for a workload from User Equipment (UE) via a Radio Access Network (RAN); determining a path to the workload; creating a tunnel to the workload; and steering the request to the workload via the tunnel that is independent of any underlying mobile network for the RAN. The tunnel can be encrypted and used on a per-application and per-session basis.
