ETSI ISG MEC in context
The radio access network is where mobile devices attach to the operator's infrastructure. Attacks in this layer include IMSI catching, rogue base stations and downgrade attacks; defenses rest on mutual authentication, integrity-protected signaling and Open RAN supply-chain hygiene.
Telecom security is written into standards from 3GPP, GSMA, ETSI, IETF and ITU-T. Understanding which body owns which specification, and how they interlock, is essential for both design and audit work.
To place ETSI ISG MEC in the wider telecom-security picture, review Jitter, MEC, Zigbee, O-RAN Alliance, CU/DU/RU Split and Edge Computing: each entry cross-references back to this page so you can walk the topic in either direction.
