Abstract
Techniques for providing security for Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) in mobile networks (e.g., service provider networks for mobile subscribers) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for enhanced security for CIoT in mobile networks in accordance with some embodiments includes monitoring network traffic on a service provider network at a security platform to identify a subscriber identity for a new session, in which the session is associated with a CIoT device; determining an application identifier for user traffic associated with the new session at the security platform; and determining a security policy to apply at the security platform to the new session based on the subscriber identity and the application identifier.
