Ensuring the underlying security of our 5G-dependent future is a generational challenge and Palo Alto Networks is committed to being at the forefront. We\u2019re honored to announce our selection as a technology partner in the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence<\/a> (NCCoE) 5G Cybersecurity project. As part of the project, Palo Alto Networks will work alongside other industry-leading collaborators to identify key 5G use cases and demonstrate how 5G architectures, including cloud-based architectures, can be effectively secured.<\/p>\n

In March 2021, the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology\u2019s (NIST) NCCoE published the Executive Summary<\/a> (Volume A) of a three-part 5G Security Practice Guide, a significant milestone in ensuring higher cybersecurity standards as the U.S. and the world transition to 5G. As part of the ongoing effort, Palo Alto Networks is providing our Next-Generation Firewalls to create an industry standard reference architecture that demonstrates how organizations can meet the unique cybersecurity requirements of 5G and next-generation networks.<\/p>\n

While 5G networks have the potential to massively transform businesses, with the ability to provide a higher volume of data at faster speeds, their hyper-connected capability can also open the door to new security vulnerabilities and threat vectors. Existing security practices and legacy solutions won\u2019t meet the needs of the new requirements; this challenge requires enterprise-grade cybersecurity protections. Organizations need confidence that 5G networks and services have enterprise-grade security<\/a> with granular visibility and control across all layers and at key locations of the network.<\/p>\n

To help keep networks, services and endpoints safe against evolving threats, Palo Alto Networks launched the industry\u2019s first 5G-native security offering<\/a>, with real-time, automated cloud-delivered threat intelligence powered by machine learning. This offering helps detect and correlate real-time attacks, threats and vulnerabilities through automatic and intelligent security enforcements and dynamic 5G slice security<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lee Klarich, chief product officer at Palo Alto Networks, said, \u201cA secure transition to 5G is key to enabling digital transformation across many industries, such as healthcare, business-critical IoT, critical infrastructure, government, financial services and service provider. At Palo Alto Networks, we are securing networks, clouds and devices in the 5G world with the industry's first 5G-native security offering, enabling service providers and enterprises to turn 5G networks into highly secure networks. NIST is a leading trusted resource for government agencies and private sector organizations, and we are thrilled to offer our expertise and experience to NCCoE\u2019s 5G Cybersecurity Project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Stine, chief of the Applied Cybersecurity Division at NIST, said, \u201c5G is fundamental to our digitally connected future and we\u2019re honored to work with industry-leading 5G technology providers, including Palo Alto Networks, to develop a standards-based approach to securing the transition to 5G.\u201d<\/p>\n

NCCoE, a division of NIST, is a public-private collaborative hub which brings together industry, government and academia to solve government and businesses\u2019 most pressing cybersecurity challenges.<\/p>\n
