Palo Alto Networks has announced a range of end-to-end private 5G security solutions in collaboration with leading industry partners, including NVIDIA. The solutions bring together Palo Alto’s enterprise-grade 5G Security with offerings from other vendors to provide a set of integrated products and services that are easy to deploy and manage.
► End-to-end solutions will make 5G networks fully secure from the outset
► TD SYNNEX recently signed as partner for full range of NVIDIA Enterprise solutions
The partnerships aim to address potential security risks of 5G which, according to GSMA Intelligence, could be contributing $1 trillion to the global economy by 2030. The combination of Palo Alto’s 5G Security with partner technologies and services will enable customers to build security into their networks from the ground up.
A typical deployment scenario for a 5G solution might involve the collection of data from connected sensors and edge devices, and its secure transfer and analysis using AI-driven tools. Speaking to NetworkWorld , Anand Oswal, senior vice president and general manager, Palo Alto, said: ‘The private 5G network architecture gets increasingly complex the more it connects with devices, networks and services such as IT, OT [operational technology], IoT. That attack surface can bring new threat vectors and require new end-to-end security management systems.’
Palo Alto has found that as much as 90% of threats in private 5G environments originate through connected mobile devices or through sensors and other IoT devices that are not actively managed. It wants to make security part of the plan from the outset for 5G systems, rather than an afterthought.
As a partner for both Palo Alto and NVIDIA, TD SYNNEX is perfectly placed to support partners in delivering complete security solutions for 5G and extended networks. For more information, click below to make contact with our team.
