Quantum ready intelligent security gateway

1 . A system, comprising:

a processor configured to:

monitor network traffic on a mobile network at a security gateway to identify a new session, wherein the network traffic includes video traffic and control and management traffic between a base station and a core network;

inspect the control and management traffic for threats;

offload the video traffic;

inspect the control and management traffic for threats without inspecting the video traffic;

determine meta information associated with the new session by extracting the meta information from the network traffic via one or more interfaces, wherein the meta information includes subscriber information, equipment information, and network slice information, wherein the subscriber-ID includes one or more of the following: a Global Line Identifier (GLI), or a Global Cable Identifier (GCI), and wherein the equipment-ID includes one or more of the following: International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) and/or Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI), wherein the network slice-ID includes Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI); and

enforce a security policy on the new session at the security gateway based on the meta information to apply context-based security in the mobile network; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

2 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the security gateway includes a quantum ready intelligent security gateway that supports quantum key distribution (QKD) and/or post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for providing a secure tunnel to the mobile network.

3 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the security gateway includes a quantum ready intelligent security gateway that supports intelligent offloading of the monitored network traffic based on an offloading policy.

4 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the context-based security includes subscriber-ID based security.

5 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the context-based security includes equipment-ID based security.

6 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the context-based security includes network slice-ID based security.

7 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the security gateway is configured with a plurality of security policies to apply subscriber-ID based security, equipment-ID based security, and/or network slice-ID based security in the mobile network.

8 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the security gateway is configured with a plurality of security policies to apply vulnerability protection, intrusion prevention, antivirus, antispyware, DNS security, denial of service (DoS) protection, and/or cloud-based security.

9 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform level threat identification and prevention in the mobile network.

10 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform application identification and control in the mobile network.

11 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform URL filtering in the mobile network.

12 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

block the new session from accessing a resource based on the security policy.

13 . The system recited in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

allow the new session to access a resource based on the security policy.

14 . A method, comprising:

monitoring network traffic on a mobile network at a security gateway to identify a new session, wherein the network traffic includes video traffic and control and management traffic between a base station and a core network;

inspecting the control and management traffic for threats;

offloading the video traffic;

inspecting the control and management traffic for threats without inspecting the video traffic;

determining meta information associated with the new session by extracting the meta information from the network traffic via one or more interfaces, wherein the meta information includes subscriber information, equipment information, and network slice information, wherein the subscriber-ID includes one or more of the following: a Global Line Identifier (GLI), or a Global Cable Identifier (GCI), and wherein the equipment-ID includes one or more of the following: International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) and/or Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI), wherein the network slice-ID includes Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI); and

enforcing a security policy on the new session at the security gateway based on the meta information to apply context-based security in the mobile network.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the security gateway includes a quantum ready intelligent security gateway that supports quantum key distribution (QKD) and/or post-quantum cryptography (PQC) for providing a secure tunnel to the mobile network.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the security gateway includes a quantum ready intelligent security gateway that supports intelligent offloading of the monitored network traffic based on an offloading policy.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the security gateway is configured with a plurality of security policies to apply subscriber-ID based security, equipment-ID based security, and/or network slice-ID based security in the mobile network.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the security gateway is configured with a plurality of security policies to apply vulnerability protection, intrusion prevention, antivirus, antispyware, DNS security, denial of service (DoS) protection, and/or cloud-based security.

19 . A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

monitoring network traffic on a mobile network at a security gateway to identify a new session, wherein the network traffic includes video traffic and control and management traffic between a base station and a core network;

inspecting the control and management traffic for threats;

offloading the video traffic;

inspecting the control and management traffic for threats without inspecting the video traffic;

determining meta information associated with the new session by extracting the meta information from the network traffic via one or more interfaces, the meta information includes subscriber information, equipment information, and network slice information, wherein the subscriber-ID includes one or more of the following: a Global Line Identifier (GLI), or a Global Cable Identifier (GCI), and wherein the equipment-ID includes one or more of the following: International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) and/or Permanent Equipment Identifier (PEI), wherein the network slice-ID includes Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI); and
