CBSS: Cloud-Based Security System with Interface to Network Security Functions

This paper proposes a Cloud-Based Security System (CBSS) with Interface to Network Security Functions (I2NSF) as the framework and interfaces. It shows the feasibility of CBSS for flexible and efficient security services in cloud-based network environments such as 5G networks and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The design and implementation of CBSS are explained along with information and data models of the I2NSF standard interfaces. The architecture of the I2NSF framework is augmented for Intent-Based Networking (IBN) for intelligent security services. Through experiment, it is shown that CBSS can handle various security attacks autonomously.
