Abstract
Methods and systems for providing enhanced network security for network management messages and subsystem management messages are disclosed. A network security function receives a network or subsystem management message from a first location in a network. The network security function determines whether one or more predetermined parameters in the network management message are not associated with the originating location. In response to determining that are not associated with the originating location, a network security action, such as discarding the message and/or notifying a network operator, is performed.
