Palo Alto Networks announced that it has been selected by communications technology company TELUS to assist with securing one of the 5G networks in Canada. Palo Alto Networks will help TELUS secure its 5G network and provide real-time threat mitigation. TELUS will leverage Palo Alto Networks' hardware and software firewalls to protect high-capacity network interfaces across its 5G stand- alone core and internet perimeter as well as to provide security to its IoT customers.

Palo Alto Networks will leverage its Zero Trust approach, a security framework that is rigorously applied through to the full ecosystem of controls -- network, endpoint, cloud, application, IoT, identity and more -- and that many organizations rely on for protection that goes beyond the traditional network edge. For a comprehensive Zero Trust approach to the cloud-native mobile infrastructure, TELUS will use Palo Alto Networks industry-leading cloud workload protection to safeguard its cloud-based network functions. TELUS joins a set of the most advanced service providers securing their 5G networks, including DISH.
