OneLayer and Ericsson's Groundbreaking Collaboration
In a significant move for private cellular networks, OneLayer, a leader in managing and securing OT devices over private LTE/5G networks, has joined forces with Ericsson, a global telecom giant, to unveil an advanced Zero Touch Zero Trust Network Access (ZT-ZTNA) solution. This innovative approach promises to enhance device onboarding automation and fortify security against evolving threats present in today's digital landscape.
The Importance of Private Wireless Networks
Private wireless networks have become essential in driving remarkable innovation and growth across various industries. They not only support the increasing number of connected devices but also provide critical infrastructure for businesses like utilities to operate efficiently. As organizations rapidly seek to modernize their technology, solutions like the ZT-ZTNA become indispensable.
The introduction of the ZT-ZTNA solution offers enterprises seamless onboarding of devices and SIMs—crucial for managing the growing complexity of private networks. With this solution, established protocols from Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networks have been seamlessly extended to private networks, enabling a smooth process where only authorized devices are permitted to connect once a SIM is inserted.
Streamlining Device Management
Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer, emphasized the vital role this collaboration plays in increasing device visibility and management capability. He stated, "By implementing ZT-ZTNA, we're empowering businesses to effectively manage device access and safeguard against security threats. This means utilities can enhance their service to millions without compromising on our core objectives and defense strategies."
ZT-ZTNA not only facilitates streamlined device onboarding but also enhances operational efficiency. The automation of device and SIM onboarding processes allows for task delegation across different teams. This capability reduces bottlenecks and enables faster deployment of devices, expanding the range of applications supported by private networks.
Major Benefits for Enterprises
The integration of OneLayer's ZT-ZTNA with the offerings from Ericsson revolutionizes how enterprises can manage and secure their private network devices. Executives like Dana Jaber Diab, Vice President at Ericsson Americas, highlight that this collaboration will enable firms to fully exploit the capabilities of their private LTE/5G networks while maintaining optimal operation and solid defense mechanisms.
In addition, enterprises adopting this innovative solution can expect notable benefits, including improved growth prospects, higher adoption rates, and enhanced overall network value. With automated on-boarding capabilities, businesses will be able to leverage their networks more effectively and achieve a higher return on their investment in private cellular networks.
