Cellular iot security using dynamic policy-driven mechanisms for threat mitigation

Abstract

A cellular security system that uses multiple policies to protect a cellular network against various threats in a cloud-based environment. The cellular security system includes a tenant with multiple cellular devices, multiple tunnels that receive and route traffic, monitor traffic, capture real-time traffic attributes, and detect anomalies. The cellular security system further includes an anomaly detection model, an alert generator, and an anomaly reporter. The anomaly detection model retrieves baseline profiles from a threat database, loads policies related to a threat, and compares real-time traffic features with baseline profiles. The anomaly detection model further applies an anomaly detection algorithm to a traffic instance, assigns an anomaly score, and raises a flag for anomaly detection. The alert generator sends an alert to the tenant in the cloud-based environment, and the anomaly reporter notifies a management plane for further remediation of the anomaly.
