Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, introduced 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.
