As part of the Enduring Security Framework (ESF), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published guidance today to mitigate cyber threats within the 5G cloud infrastructure. Securely Isolate Network Resources examines threats to the 5G container-centric or hybrid container/virtual network, also known as Pods.
The guidance provides several aspects of pod security, including limiting permissions on deployed containers, avoiding resource contention and denial of service attacks, and implementing real-time threat detection.
