EES (Edge Enabler Server)
Also known as: Edge Enabler Server
The EES is the 3GPP edge-computing function (TS 23.558) deployed in an Edge Data Network that provides supporting APIs to Edge Application Servers, including registration, discovery of other EASes, capability exposure and interaction with the 3GPP core over N33/N6. It is the server-side counterpart of the Edge Enabler Client running on the UE.

EES in context
Telecom security is written into standards from 3GPP, GSMA, ETSI, IETF and ITU-T. Understanding which body owns which specification, and how the specs interlock (for example 3GPP TS 33.501 with GSMA FS.34 for 5G SBA security), is essential for both design and audit work.
To place EES in the wider telecom-security picture, review EEC, ECS, 4G, ETSI TS 103 221, MDF2 and CAMARA Project.
