Dynamic Application Vulnerable Use Cases Identification in a Cloud Native Environment

Abstract

A management system (200) configures logging in telecommunication networks executing one or more services (230) in a distributed workflow. To accomplish its function, the management system obtains vulnerability information for one or more services currently deployed in a communications network. 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. So obtained, the management system configures a logging framework (220) to generate trace records (406, 424) for a service currently deployed in the communications network to include the VID and the vulnerability score of the service. The management system configures the logging framework to generate the trace records on a use case basis. Therefore, each of the trace records are generated to identify a particular use case and use case instance associated with the execution of the service.
