1. An apparatus configured to protect communications between a first network and a second network, the apparatus being a first security node of the first network and comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
cause, when a first security mechanism is selected to protect communications between the first security node and a second security node of the second network, information indicating one or more predefined security profiles to be sent towards the second security node in a security parameter exchange request of a parameter exchange procedure, wherein a predefined security profile of the one or more predefined security profiles includes pre-populated parameters for a modification policy and a data type encryption policy; and
cause the first security node to communicate with the second security node in accordance with one or more selected security profiles selected from the one or more predefined security profiles.
