17. A system comprising:
a data processor; and
a memory including instructions which, when executed by the data processor, cause the system to:
inspect network traffic of a telecommunications network at multiple SEPP elements at an edge of the telecommunications network;
determine a model for categorizing network traffic based on the inspected network traffic of the telecommunications network at the multiple SEPP elements;
categorize particular network traffic of the telecommunications network at a particular SEPP element of the multiple SEPP elements as anomalous or malicious network traffic based on the model; and
in response to categorizing the particular network traffic as anomalous or malicious network traffic, allocating a security resource to the particular network traffic of the telecommunications network,
wherein the security resource redirects the particular network traffic categorized as anomalous or malicious network traffic to a collection, management, or sanitization component of the telecommunications network.
