As AI-driven cyber threats outpace traditional defenses, enterprises face the challenge of securing multi-cloud environments and remote teams with traditional security approaches. In response to growing enterprise demand, AT&T Business and Palo Alto Networks today announced an expansion of their collaboration to help enterprises secure increasingly distributed environments by integrating advanced security directly into the network.
The latest phase of this long-standing collaboration brings two managed offerings to market: AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks and AT&T SASE with Palo Alto Networks. Together, the solutions provide deeper network-level protection and end-to-end visibility across enterprise environments.
“Security can no longer be treated as something layered on after the network is built,” said Joe Petrocelli, vice president of Communications Services, AT&T Business. “By combining Palo Alto Networks AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities with AT&T's global network, we're helping customers move toward a security model where protection is coupled directly with their connectivity. The result is greater visibility, reduced complexity, and faster response to emerging threats.”
