As DISH builds the nation’s first, cloud-native, 5G Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), this white paper discusses how the company is prioritizing network, system and enduser security from the outset of network deployment. In today’s software-driven world, secure connectivity isessential, enabling businesses to increase productivity, transform the way they operate and generate a higher return on investment. 5G connectivity unlocks a new level of innovation, supporting new business models and delivering innovative services and products.

The Aruba CX 10000 Distributed Services Switch with embedded AMD Pensando DPUs offers organizations an option to implement effective network segmentation by applying stateful firewall inspection policies at the switch port level, without having to route traffic to an external firewall for inspection. The Aruba CX 10000 is designed for securing East-West traffic and providing effective isolation for individual hosts or groups of hosts in the same rack even when those hosts are in the same L2 broadcast domain. This capability can be leveraged for minimizing the scope of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance as well as for meeting multiple PCI DSS requirements. The ability to implement segmentation at the port or host level ultimately reduces the cost and operational burden required to achieve and maintain PCI compliance, as well as validate compliance annually

5G mobile networks will provide even more speed and higher quality than its predecessors. Importantly too, they will also introduce a novel architecture solution that allows the creation of a set of logically independent networks that run on a common physical infrastructure. Each of these logically independent networks (network slices) can be designed to fulfill specific business needs, making 5G a truly smart network. It is anticipated that in the initial phases of 5G, there may be a limited number of standardised slices, however mobile operators will be able to create bespoke slice types where business requirements of customers cannot be met by any of the standardised slices.

Historically, enterprise network security has been defined by a series of painful tradeoffs. Simply put, flat networks were easy to manage but gave attackers free reign to spread and cause damage once inside the network. On the other hand, the more secure and tightly controlled architectures defined by Zero Trust exponentially increased the cost, complexity, and effort required from staff. Ultimately, this forced organizations into uneasy compromises that were expensive, left technical teams overworked, and fell well short of the ideals of Zero Trust.

Communications service provider (SP) traffic volumes are progressively increasing as networks evolve, user devices gain greater capacity, and applications engaging with advanced network data such as that from the 5G standalone (5G SA) network exposure function (NEF) start to deliver on customer expectations. Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.

Distributed industrial applications rely on the quality of service (QoS) of the underlying communications system, which has to meet the application requirements in each case. Some industrial use cases pose highly demanding communication requirements and are therefore quite sensitive to any changes in the QoS.
