Techniques for providing security for providing Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) for mobile networks (e.g., service provider networks for mobile subscribers) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for providing SASE for mobile networks in accordance with some embodiments includes receiving traffic associated with a User Equipment (UE) from a mobile core network at a SASE cloud network; enforcing a security policy on data plane traffic associated with the UE based on contextual information associated with the UE to provide secured data plane traffic; and forwarding the secured data plane traffic from the SASE cloud network to the mobile core network, wherein the secured data plane traffic egresses the mobile core network for its original destination.
