Palo Alto Networks announced a series of end-to-end private 5G security solutions and services, in collaboration with “leading private 5G partners.” These releases combine Palo Alto enterprise-grade 5G security, private 5G partner integration and various services to allow organizations to more easily deploy, manage and secure networks.
The launch addresses evolving need for validated 5G integration, and also furthers Palo Alto’s strategic vision of an integrated ecosystem approach to safeguard 5G deployments.
“5G holds boundless potential to revolutionize our future,” said Palo Alto SVP and GM, Anand Oswal. “At the same time deploying these networks is complex and presents significant security risks. True digital transformation requires a robust cross-platform ecosystem where comprehensive solutions and innovative partner integrations ensure strong 5G security. Our best-in-class platforms and strategic coalition of trusted Private 5G partners create a holistic offering to help customers realize the benefits of 5G.”
The speed, reliability and flexibility of 5G networks are essential to national infrastructure and mission-critical environments, however the massive amounts of data transmitted across 5G networks provide a target for threat actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities. In a recent Palo Alto Networks study, almost 70 percent of executives identified 5G-connected devices as a growing threat vector in operational technology.
Fueled by a convergence of AI, zero trust, regulatory and compliance mandates, Palo Alto Networks 5G security helps organizations protect themselves against threats, ensuring comprehensive security across evolving network landscapes.
Palo Alto private 5G partners are vetted via lab testing and have proven success with customers with private 5G networks. Initial partners include: Celona, Druid, Ataya, NETSCOUT, NVIDIA and NTT DATA.
