ETSI Releases Specifications on Trustful End-to-End Network & Service Automation
ETSI is pleased to announce the release of three major specifications and reports developed by its Zero-touch network and Service Management (ZSM) group. ETSI GS ZSM 003, defines end-to-end network slicing management and orchestration architecture blueprint and solutions, and ETSI GS ZSM 009-1 specifies the enablers for closed-loop automation. The general security aspects related to the ZSM framework and solutions and potential mitigation options are introduced in the ETSI GR ZSM 010.

ETSI GS ZSM 003 defines an architecture blueprint and solutions for zero-touch management and orchestration of end-to-end, cross-domain network slicing – supporting both fulfilment and assurance processes. Network slicing spans different technological domains, from the User Equipment (UE) through, for example, the access network, transport network, core network, to the application.

ETSI GS ZSM 009-1 specified “Governance” services that allow the creation, execution, and life-cycle management of a closed loop, as well as the steering of its behavior. A closed loop enables the continuous optimization and adaption of network and resource utilization as well as automated service assurance and fulfilment.
ETSI GR ZSM 010 identifies potential security threats related to the ZSM framework and solutions, and proposes mitigation options that should be considered by the ZSM specifications to ensure that the automated processes are secured and deliver the intended business outcomes.
