1. A method, comprising:
storing, by a network device, multiple network slice templates that have multiple different security assurance level (SALs) based on a compilation of security parameter values of individual asset classes;
receiving a request for a network slice with a requested SAL;
deploying the network slice using one of the multiple network slice templates with a theoretical SAL value that corresponds to the requested SAL;
establishing a measured SAL as a baseline value for the deployed network slice, wherein the measured SAL is based on measurements of the security parameter values of individual assets of the deployed network slice;
monitoring the security parameter values of the individual assets of the deployed network slice; and
detecting, based on the monitoring, a change from the baseline value in the deployed network slice.
