5G can only transform business when it is secure

5G and AI convergence is expanding connectivity across critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and logistics. Every new connection point is a potential attack vector that traditional security tools were not designed to address.

Expanding attack surface

5G connects IoT, OT, and autonomous systems at scale. Each device, slice, and edge node introduces risk that requires identity-aware, mobile-native policy enforcement.

AI-powered threats are growing

Adversaries use AI to generate evasive, targeted attacks including zero-day exploits. Inline detection and prevention must operate at network speed to keep pace.

Distributed architecture complexity

Traffic spans centralized core, distributed cloud, and far edge. Security must follow the same path with consistent policy enforcement across every environment.

For service providers

5G security is a cost center. It does not have to be.

Most mobile operators treat 5G security as overhead. Palo Alto Networks 5G-Native Security turns it into a monetizable service that protects the network and generates new revenue.

5G Security for Service Providers

What changes with platformization

  • Consolidate security operations: Replace fragmented point solutions with a single platform across the mobile core, RAN, and edge.
  • Deploy in any form factor: Hardware, virtual, or containerized deployment to match specific network architecture requirements.
  • Offer Security-as-a-Slice: Deliver enterprise-grade Zero Trust security per network slice, enabling differentiated services for enterprise customers.
  • Monetize security investment: Package 5G security capabilities as managed services that convert cybersecurity spend into a revenue stream.

Key outcome

Transform 5G security into a profit center

Provide 5G security as a slice and Zero Trust security for enterprise IT, OT, and IoT environments. This converts security from operational overhead into a billable, revenue-generating managed service.

For enterprises

If you cannot see 5G traffic, you cannot secure it

5G-connected OT, IoT, and edge devices create blind spots that attackers exploit for lateral movement and data exfiltration. Palo Alto Networks 5G Security extends Zero Trust from the edge to the core.

Enterprise 5G Security

What Zero Trust looks like on 5G

  • Enforce Zero Trust at every layer: Apply consistent security policies across 5G-connected environments to prevent data exfiltration and lateral movement between IT and OT.
  • Deploy ruggedized hardware at the edge: Purpose-built NGFW appliances designed for harsh industrial environments, remote locations, and temperature extremes.
  • Simplify private 5G security: Trusted ecosystem partners handle deployment and management of 5G security, reducing time to production while maintaining compliance.

Key outcome

Eliminate blind spots in private 5G deployments

Gain full visibility into 5G traffic with mobile identifier-based policies that enforce security per user, device, network slice, and application. AI/ML-powered automation identifies infected devices in real time for accelerated investigation and response.
