The granted patent US12075254B1 outlines a system designed to enhance security within a radio-based network, which includes a radio access network and an associated core network, with portions hosted in a cloud provider's infrastructure. The system allows for the configuration of security event detection and mitigation rules through a computing device in the cloud provider network, which receives requests from client devices associated with an organization. Upon detecting a security event, the system can initiate various actions, such as shutting down edge computing instances, disabling network connectivity, or limiting access to administrative devices. The patent emphasizes the ability to respond to security threats effectively by implementing rules that govern the detection and mitigation of such events.

Additionally, the patent details methods for detecting security events based on specific criteria, such as loss of connectivity or anomalies in system health communications. The methods allow for actions to be taken in response to these detections, including shutting down devices or network functions, and can be configured by the organization itself. The system's flexibility in managing connectivity—such as maintaining control plane connectivity while disabling data plane connectivity—highlights its capability to safeguard the radio-based network while minimizing disruption. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to security management in cloud-integrated radio networks, focusing on proactive detection and responsive actions to mitigate potential threats.
