It seems that the market is becoming more and more focused on providing private 5G solutions. In this case, Palo Alto is launching end-to-end private 5G security solutions and services in collaboration with partners. By combining the enterprise-grade 5G security offered by Palo Alto Networks with the integrations and services of private 5G partners, enterprises can “effortlessly” install, manage, and safeguard their networks over the full 5G journey.
In addition to fulfilling customer demand for verified 5G integrations, Palo Alto Networks’ strategic vision of an integrated, ecosystem-based approach to 5G deployment security would be advanced with the introduction of Palo Alto Private 5G Security Solutions in collaboration with partner ecosystem.
Driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence, Zero Trust, regulatory, and compliance requirements, Palo Alto Networks 5G Security assists enterprises in defending themselves against the most recent attacks, guaranteeing all-encompassing security across dynamic network environments. Customers can integrate security into their networks from the bottom up and safeguard the whole 5G infrastructure and the mission-critical data it transports by combining industry-leading security solutions with innovative technologies and services from Private 5G partners.
“5G holds boundless potential to revolutionize our future. At the same time deploying these networks is complex and presents significant security risks,” said Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Palo Alto Networks. “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.”
Laboratory Testing
Palo Alto Networks’ Private 5G partners have shown success with their clients’ private 5G networks and are thoroughly screened via laboratory testing. NTT DATA, Celona, Druid, Ataya, NETSCOUT, NVIDIA, and NVIDIA are among the first private 5G partners.
- Celona, Druid, Ataya – Palo Alto Networks 5G Security integrations would make it simple for enterprises constructing new private 5G networks with these partners to protect radio networks.
- NETSCOUT – Palo Alto Networks 5G Security will integrate at scale with ubiquitous, packet-level network visibility, enabling security teams to obtain deep information and make informed policy choices.
- NVIDIA – Scalable 5G security would make sure AI-powered applications are optimized for data isolation, traffic correctness, speed, and security – to preserve data sovereignty and provide multi-terabit, reasonably priced mobile network security.
- NTT DATA – Customers can rapidly and simply construct, operate, and protect their private 5G networks with the aid of an “innovative and comprehensive” technological stack, network infrastructure capabilities, reliable IT consultancy, and worldwide systems integration services.
“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,” said Liam Kenny, CEO at Druid Software. “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.”
“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,” said Rajesh Pazhyannur, CEO and Co-Founder of Ataya. “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.”
“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,” said Bruce Kelley, CTO and SVP, Service Provider, NETSCOUT. “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.”
“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,” said Ash Bhalgat, Senior Director of Cloud, Telco and Cybersecurity Market Development, NVIDIA. “NVIDIA technologies accelerate Palo Alto P5G ecosystem solutions to help create a fast, secure and AI-ready private 5G infrastructure for modern enterprises.”
“The computational demands of Generative AI applications deployed at the edge have made private 5G networks more critical than ever,” said Shahid Ahmed, Group Executive Vice President New Ventures and Innovation at NTT. “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.”
