Abstract
A method for protection of virtualized network functions may comprise: obtaining security orchestration information for one or more virtualized network functions; determining network interfaces relevant to protection of the one or more virtualized network functions based at least in part on network topology information, in response to the security orchestration information; and issuing a security instruction for the protection of the one or more virtualized network functions, according to the determined network interfaces.

An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- obtain security orchestration information for one or more virtualized network functions;
- determine, in response to the security orchestration information, network interfaces relevant to protection of the one or more virtualized network functions based at least in part on network topology information;
- and
- issue a security instruction for the protection of the one or more virtualized network functions, according to the determined network interfaces.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program codes embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program codes comprising:
- code for obtaining security orchestration information for one or more virtualized network functions;
- code for determining, in response to the security orchestration information, network interfaces relevant to protection of the one or more virtualized network functions based at least in part on network topology information;
- and
- code for issuing a security instruction for the protection of the one or more virtualized network functions, according to the determined network interfaces.
