Aeris, a provider of wireless management platforms, security services and connected vehicle programs, has integrated with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 5G and joined the company’s technology partner ecosystem. The integration combines Aeris IoT Watchtower with Prisma SASE 5G to help enterprises protect wireless IoT deployments and provide a single point of control to extend security to the wireless IoT edge, officials said.
The integration provides Layer 7 security features, including deep packet inspection (DPI) and data loss prevention (DLP), across a global footprint. By validating interoperability between these platforms, the collaboration allows businesses to reduce their attack surface and bring previously isolated wireless IoT devices into the enterprise security fabric, officials said.
The integrated architecture delivers zero trust protection and automated oversight directly to the wireless IoT edge. It includes unified security visibility, proactive threat response, and global connectivity at scale via Aeris’ ecosystem of nearly 30 Tier One mobile network operator partners. It’s also expected to accelerate deployment and provide future-proof infrastructure by leveraging built-in support for 5G-enabled applications requiring high bandwidth and mission-critical responsiveness, officials said.
“Aeris’ new integration with Palo Alto Networks marks a pivotal shift for global enterprises, moving away from the inefficiencies of managing security and wireless connectivity in isolation,” said Jon Connet, chief product officer at Aeris. “This partnership enables organizations to apply best-in-class security uniformly across both IT systems and wireless connected devices.”
“As the global threat landscape evolves, the wireless edge can no longer remain a siloed environment outside of the enterprise security fabric,” said Anupam Upadhyaya, SVP of product management, SASE, at Palo Alto Networks. “By integrating Prisma SASE with Aeris, we aim to deliver a unified security architecture that eliminates visibility and security gaps for wireless devices. This enables protection to fuel innovation, allowing our mutual customers to embrace the benefits of AI and 5G with absolute confidence.”
