FAQ

What is a 5G slice-walker attack?

An attacker pivots from a low-trust network slice (e.g. guest IoT) into a critical slice by exploiting weak isolation at the UPF or SMF policy layer.

How does zero trust apply to 5G?

Every NEF, AMF, and edge function is treated as untrusted until mutually authenticated — micro-segmentation replaces perimeter-only models.
