name: VIM
full_form: Virtualised Infrastructure Manager
context: of GVNP type 2 could face the threats coming from the VIM which manages it via NFVI-VIM interface. The detailed threat description is as follows: - Threat name: changing virtualisation resource via a compromised VIM or unprotected NFVI-VIM interface. - Threat Category: DoS. - Threat Description: A VIM which manages the Virtualisation layer is responsible for assigning virtualised resource as requested. If the VIM is compromised or the NFVI-VIM interface is not securely protected, an attacker who compromised the VIM or breached the NFVI-VIM interface can change the virtualised resource used by a GVNP by manipulating the allocation of virtualised resource. For example, when an instantiated VNF is running, attackers having access to a compromised VIM or attackers breaching the insecure NFVI-VIM interface can misguide the Virtualisation layer to reduce the resource of or delete a VM on which a VNFCI is running. This can result in the reliability, availability or even illegal termination
description: The Virtualised Infrastructure Manager (VIM) is responsible for managing and assigning virtualized resources within the network infrastructure. It plays a critical role in ensuring the proper allocation and utilization of these resources, thereby impacting the overall performance and security of the network.
explanation: Given the context from 3GPP TS 33.818, VIM is clearly involved in managing virtualization resources and interfaces (NFVI-VIM), which aligns with the definition of a Network Function as it involves the management and control of network resources.
