Prevent and Detect Lateral Movement: How Organizations Can Adopt Guidance from the NSA & CISA’s “Security Guidance for 5G Cloud Infrastructure”

This October, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published the first of a four-part series of position papers called “Security Guidance for 5G Cloud Infrastructure.”

The first part, “Prevent and Detect Lateral Movement,” outlines five actions to prevent threats while building and hardening 5G cloud infrastructure. Although this position paper is specifically directed toward cloud providers and mobile network operators who are building 5G cloud infrastructure, the concepts can be leveraged by all stakeholders and applied generally to cloud infrastructure.
