New collaboration will assist in protecting
TELUS's 5G stand-alone core and IoT infrastructure
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Sept. 28,
2022 /CNW/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) today
announced that it has been selected by communications technology
company TELUS to assist with securing one of the largest and
fastest 5G networks in Canada.
"Securing 5G requires a Zero Trust approach to protect all
elements of the mobile network across key network interfaces, cloud
workloads and user traffic," said Anand
Oswal, senior vice president, Network Security at Palo Alto
Networks. "Our 5G-Native Security is the industry's most
comprehensive Zero Trust solution, with best-in-class capabilities
to safeguard mobile infrastructure and the business-critical
applications that run on it. We're thrilled to help TELUS create a
5G network that provides enterprise-grade security to their
customers."
Palo Alto Networks will help TELUS secure its 5G network and
provide real-time threat mitigation. TELUS will leverage Palo Alto
Networks' hardware and software firewalls to protect high-capacity
network interfaces across its 5G stand-alone core and internet
perimeter as well as to provide security to its IoT customers. Palo
Alto Networks will leverage its Zero Trust approach, a security
framework that is rigorously applied through to the full ecosystem
of controls — network, endpoint, cloud, application, IoT, identity
and more — and that many organizations rely on for protection that
goes beyond the traditional network edge.
"We know security is a top priority for our customers, and we
are deeply engaged in keeping people safe while optimizing our
customer experience on our world-leading network," said
Ibrahim Gedeon, chief technology
officer, TELUS. "The 5G market is rapidly evolving, propelling
innovations through data insight and AI, and it is critical that we
implement robust solutions that allow for flexible growth, without
compromising security. We are proud to build on our decade-long
partnership with Palo Alto Networks to ensure our sophisticated,
multi-awarded networks remain safeguarded against all kinds of
threats, protecting Canadians and unlocking the infinite
possibilities of 5G."
For a comprehensive Zero Trust approach to the cloud-native
mobile infrastructure, TELUS will use Palo Alto Networks
industry-leading cloud workload protection to safeguard its
cloud-based network functions. TELUS joins a set of the most
advanced service providers securing their 5G networks, including
DISH.
