Dynamic Application Vulnerable Use Cases Identification in a Cloud Native Environment

A method for configuring logging in telecommunication networks executing one or more services in a distributed workflow, the method implemented by a network node in a management system and comprising:

• obtaining vulnerability information for one or more services currently deployed in a communications network, wherein the vulnerability information comprises, for each of the one or more services:
• a vulnerability identifier (VID) identifying a vulnerability of the service;
• and
• a vulnerability score indicating a severity of the vulnerability;
• and
• configuring a logging framework to generate trace records including the VID and the vulnerability score of a service currently deployed in the communications network for a use case associated with execution of the service.

A network node in a management system for configuring logging in telecommunication networks executing one or more services in a distributed workflow, the network node configured to:

• obtain vulnerability information for one or more services currently deployed in a communications network, wherein the vulnerability information comprises, for each of the one or more services:
• a vulnerability identifier (VID) identifying a vulnerability of the service;
• and
• a vulnerability score indicating a severity of the vulnerability;
• and
• configure a logging framework to generate trace records including the VID and the vulnerability score of a service currently deployed in the communications network for a use case associated with execution of the service.

A network node in a management system for configuring logging in telecommunication networks executing one or more services in a distributed workflow, the network node comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory circuitry comprising instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the network node to:
• obtain vulnerability information for one or more services currently deployed in a communications network, wherein the vulnerability information comprises, for each of the one or more services:
• a vulnerability identifier (VID) identifying a vulnerability of the service;
• and
• a vulnerability score indicating a severity of the vulnerability;
• and
• configure a logging framework to generate trace records including the VID and the vulnerability score of a service currently deployed in the communications network for a use case associated with execution of the service.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon for managing telecommunication networks that, when executed by processing circuitry of a network node, configures the network node to:

• obtain vulnerability information for one or more services currently deployed in a communications network, wherein the vulnerability information comprises, for each of the one or more services:
• a vulnerability identifier (VID) identifying a vulnerability of the service;
• and
• a vulnerability score indicating a severity of the vulnerability;
• and
• configure a logging framework to generate trace records including the VID and the vulnerability score of a service currently deployed in the communications network for a use case associated with execution of the service.
