Abstract: An apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to design an extended security zone configuration for a network service to be instantiated including at least one virtual network function in a communication network comprising virtualized network parts, wherein the extended security zone configuration assigns the at least one virtual network function according to local and/or global security requirements to at least one dedicated security zone, and to provide a security zone descriptor information element describing a final result of the extended security zone configuration design for usage in an information set defining a deployment variant of the network service to be instantiated
