Mobile Network Operators - Palo Alto Networks

A new security approach for mobile networks

Mobile Network Operators can accelerate “life on the go” and build their business by offering advanced 4G, 5G and IoT services – as long as their security can keep pace. However, cyberthreats targeting mobile devices and IoT are increasingly difficult to see and stop, and they are impacting both networks and users.

Palo Alto Networks® prevents successful cyberattacks and protects both network availability and the mobile user experience. The Security Operating Platform gives MNOs unprecedented visibility into data and signaling traffic, provides automation and consistent security across network locations, and enables MNOs to rapidly adopt new security innovations.

A platform enabling continuous security innovation

Palo Alto Networks delivers a platform that provides MNOs with a consistent evolution of security to match the evolution of networks and services. The Security Operating Platform combines unprecedented levels of visibility with advanced analytics and automation to take operational efficiency to a whole new level. And it empowers MNOs to accelerate their deployment of new technologies and business models, safely.
