Empowering customers with comprehensive,
integrated private 5G solutions
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:
PANW) today announced end-to-end private 5G security solutions and
services in collaboration with leading Private 5G partners.
Bringing together Palo Alto Networks® enterprise-grade 5G
Security and Private 5G partner integrations and services allows
organizations to easily deploy, manage, and secure networks
throughout their entire 5G journey. The launch addresses the need
and desire for validated 5G integrations and furthers Palo Alto
Networks strategic vision of an integrated, ecosystem approach to
safeguard 5G deployments.
Anand Oswal, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Palo Alto Networks
"5G holds
boundless potential to revolutionize our future. 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. C-Level executives agree - in a recent
Palo Alto Networks study, almost 70% of executives identified
5G-connected devices as a growing threat vector in operational
technology (OT).1 With 5G also expected to contribute
$1 trillion to the global economy in
20302, there is urgency to better protect today's
more complex networks, cloud-native solutions, and distributed
environments to facilitate this growth.
Fueled by a convergence of AI, Zero Trust, regulatory, and
compliance mandates, Palo Alto Networks 5G Security helps
organizations protect themselves against the latest threats,
ensuring comprehensive security across evolving network landscapes.
Combining industry-leading security solutions with disruptive
Private 5G partner technologies and services enables customers to
build security into their networks from the ground up, protecting
the entire 5G infrastructure and mission-critical traffic it
carries.
Palo Alto Networks Private 5G partners are vetted via lab
testing and have proven success with customers with Private 5G
networks. Initial Private 5G partners include Celona, Druid, Ataya,
NETSCOUT, NVIDIA, and NTT DATA.
- Celona, Druid, Ataya: Organizations building new private
5G networks with these partners can easily secure radio networks
through integrations with Palo Alto Networks 5G Security.
- NETSCOUT: Pervasive, packet-level network visibility
will combine at scale with Palo Alto Networks 5G Security, helping
security teams gain deep visibility to make intelligent policy
decisions.
- NVIDIA: Scalable 5G security ensures that AI-powered
applications are optimized for speed, security, traffic accuracy,
and data isolation to maintain data sovereignty and achieve
multi-terabit, cost-effective security for mobile networks.
- NTT DATA: An innovative and complete technology stack,
network infrastructure capabilities, and trusted IT consulting and
global system integration services help customers quickly and
easily deploy, manage, and secure their private 5G networks.
Private 5G partners highlighted how, together with Palo Alto
Networks, they will help organizations safeguard the backbone of
the future digital economy:
Rajeev Shah, CEO and Founder,
Celona
"As private 5G networks become imperative for
mission-critical applications and handling of their sensitive data,
they are prime targets for cyber attacks. Our unique integration
with Palo Alto Networks provides comprehensive visibility and
secure access for enterprise devices connected over private 5G
cellular wireless infrastructure. We are thrilled to join Palo Alto
Networks Private 5G partners to continue delivering solutions that
secure customer networks in the 5G space."
Liam Kenny, CEO, Druid
Software
"Zero Trust security is key to securing private 5G
traffic, but without visibility into all applications, services,
subscribers, and devices, a Zero Trust solution isn't possible. Our
integration with Palo Alto Networks provides customers with
elevated security posture, unparalleled visibility, policy
enforcement, mobile user control, and threat detection for all IoT
and user devices connecting to their cellular networks. We are
pleased to join the Private 5G partners, further advancing the
mission of providing comprehensive private 5G networks."
Rajesh Pazhyannur, CEO and Co-Founder,
Ataya
"Together with Palo Alto Networks, we can
address a broad spectrum of security concerns ranging from 5G
network-specific scenarios to advanced threat detection scenarios,
leveraging device intelligence to optimize Zero Trust postures.
We're thrilled to further our collaboration as a Private 5G
partner, enabling customers to realize simplified management,
robust security, and application-awareness by unifying their
multiple networks."
Bruce Kelley, CTO and SVP,
Service Provider, NETSCOUT
"5G networks can potentially
transform the world as we know it, but given their complexity,
enterprises need help. Ensuring end-through-end service visibility
is critical to assuring an exceptional customer experience and
monetizing device and end-user behavior. NETSCOUT has expansive
visibility across the world's largest IP networks. We help
enterprises combat cyber threats through our pervasive,
packet-level network visibility at scale and our open data model.
This Visibility without Borders is exactly what we provide
through our integrations with Palo Alto Networks and look forward
to extending them to include 5G."
Ash Bhalgat, Senior Director of Cloud, Telco and
Cybersecurity Market Development, NVIDIA
"Private 5G enables
enterprises to collect, transfer and analyze massive amounts of
data from the prevalent connected sensors and edge devices in
today's enterprise networks. NVIDIA technologies accelerate Palo
Alto P5G ecosystem solutions to help create a fast, secure and
AI-ready private 5G infrastructure for modern enterprises."
Shahid Ahmed, Group EVP, New
Ventures and Innovation, NTT Ltd.
"The computational demands
of Generative AI applications deployed at the edge have made
private 5G networks more critical than ever. To fully tap into the
potential of private 5G, a key enabler of Industry 5.0,
organizations need complete, fully managed solutions as well as
trusted advisors with the right capabilities to facilitate the
deployment, management, and security of private 5G networks. We
look forward to building on our collaboration with Palo Alto
Networks and delivering the power of private 5G to our clients'
current and future business."
