Expanded 5G partner ecosystem builds momentum,
helping customers secure their networks
and protect critical data
BARCELONA, Spain, March 3,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ:
PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, introduced today Prisma
SASE 5G, delivering the functionality and capabilities customers
need to stay protected for the future state of mobility and
connectivity. The company also announced the expansion of its
private 5G collaborations, working with seven industry leaders to
deliver end-to-end private 5G security solutions and services
designed to protect enterprise 5G deployments.
With the rise in digitization, coupled with massive device
connectivity, securing 5G connected devices and protecting the data
shared across them are more important than ever. Service providers
continue to grow and innovate enterprise 5G network connectivity to
address the rapid rise of hybrid workforce and mobility needs
across autonomous AI applications, autonomous connected cars and
drones, manufacturing, and more. As the demand on the wireless
network grows for 5G connected devices, so does the need for
comprehensive security, especially due to the rise of
cyberattackers' use of AI. Every attack can now be a new zero-day
attack, reach more targets with ease and evolve at lightning fast
speeds, evading 5G wireless network defenses.
Anand Oswal, SVP and GM,
Network Security at Palo Alto Networks
"Wireless network
demands are surging with 5G-connected devices, and at the same
time, attackers are leveraging AI to create more sophisticated
attacks that hit faster and harder than ever before. Service
providers have a profound opportunity to navigate the evolving
threat landscape safely and securely by offering AI-powered Zero
Trust security for their enterprise customers while addressing
mobility needs. By utilizing our fully cloud-delivered solution
with global coverage, service providers can provide data
sovereignty, reliability, and industry-leading resilience to their
enterprise customers — on any device, from anywhere."

for their OT network, enabling the implementation of Zero Trust
principles to secure industrial IoT devices through real-time
threat detection and vulnerability identification.
- NTT DATA: This new solution combines Palo Alto Networks
NGFW with NTT DATA Private 5G architecture to provide customers
with easier network visibility, threat detection and response
capabilities for securing their IT/OT environments.
- NVIDIA: Palo Alto Networks VM-Series (software NGFWs)
combined with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs secure 5G and edge AI by up
to 10x more performance with strong security enforcement, while
enabling enterprises and service providers to reduce infrastructure
costs and secure critical infrastructure and mobile networks.
- OneLayer: This integration extends the capabilities of
Palo Alto Networks NGFWs, enabling zero touch provisioning and
incorporating rich details about the device types and new protocols

orchestration, enabling customers to enhance visibility, control
mobile network traffic and ensure top-tier security.
Stephan Litjens, VP,
Enterprise Campus Edge Solutions at Nokia Cloud and Network
Services
"Together with Palo Alto Networks, we are delivering advanced
perimeter security and Zero Trust solutions tailored for
operational technology (OT) environments powered by
private wireless networks. Our collaboration ensures that
critical infrastructure benefits from robust, scalable, and
future-ready security, enabling seamless protection of the OT
network."
Jim Frey, Principal Analyst at
Enterprise Strategy Group
"The interest in 5G as a primary
networking technology continues to grow among enterprises large and
small, including mobile, fixed wireless, and private formats. While
networking and security teams recognize that 5G brings its own
unique advantages, they also greatly prefer to apply cybersecurity
technologies and practices that they are already using and are
fully familiar with for the rest of the network infrastructure.
Service providers that can successfully bridge these two sets of
demands will be in an advantaged position in the 5G services
marketplace."
