We are very pleased to partner with a Modern, Cloud Native, Zero Trust CNAPP innovator like AccuKnox. Zero Trust security is a Clint Health imperative ....
Future-Proof 5G ORAN Security
5GNAPP that delivers centralized security finely tuned for the demands of lightning quick 5G, simplifying risk assesment and policy enforcement.
SCHEDULE DEMO5GNAPP Vision
5GNAPP advocates for an all-in-one 5G-native management platform. The goal is to simplify the management of the security posture of 5G network assets. This draws inspiration from existing IP networks and cloud asset management principles. 5GNAPP aims to make 5G security management an intuitive and streamlined process.
Why 5G Security Matters?
5G enables New Architectures
- Increased Attack Surface
- Processing at the edge
- Distributed Arch, multiple layers/vendors
- Wide range of devices
- Use of general cloud providers
- Running mission critical apps

5G Attack Vectors
| O-RAN Threats | AccuKnox Protection |
|---|---|
| T-O-RAN-01: Exploits insecure designs. | Advanced threat detection and containment measures, safeguarding against malware and unauthorized access. |
| T-O-RAN-02: Targets misconfigurations. | Enforces stringent configuration policies, minimizing the risk of misconfigurations and enhancing overall system resilience. |
| T-NEAR-RT-01: Explores malicious xApps. | Behavioral analysis to detect and prevent unauthorized activities, securing against malicious xApps and ensuring UE privacy. |
AccuKnox's enterprise CNAPP + 5G solution enhances network protection by implementing multi-layer security primitives and addressing the impracticality of manual deployment in distributed environments.
What We Deliver in 5GNAPP
The 5GNAPP management system is poised to deliver a spectrum of security functions. Each will play a fundamental role in fortifying the security of 5G networks:
- Validation of Configurations. Rigorous validation of SD-RAN Kubernetes configurations. Ensure that the network's infrastructure adheres to best practices and standards.
- xApp and RIC Security Compliance. 5GNAPP autonomously generates YAML policies for xApp and the NRT-RIC. Simplify compliance with security policies.
- Control Plane Compliance Enforcement. Leveraging 5G-KubeArmor, 5GNAPP aids in continuous monitoring of control plane policies. Prevent security breaches in real-time.
- Live RF-Threat Monitoring. By integrating 5G-Spector, the system offers real-time 5G Intrusion Detection System (IDS) analyses of MobiFlow security audit streams. Prompt detection of RF-based attacks and anomalies in RAN operations as they unfold.
- Governance of Audits. Consodilated report generation to capture vital security-relevant statistics at the base station layer. Security policy violations, warning alerts, RF-attack detection alerts from 5G-Spector, and summaries of SD-RAN configuration validations.

Scenario Based Insights
In a 5G network facing malicious actors, 5GNAPP's capabilities help monitor and manage security. MobiFlow Auditor provides insights into UE-to-base-station interactions, while 5G-Spector identifies hostile RF actors, offering real-time alerts. 5G-KubeArmor enforces application-layer security policies, adding a layer of defense. These components enable 5GNAPP to effectively monitor and manage the security of every asset within the network.
