OneLayer Enhances Zero Touch Provisioning with Palo Alto Networks

OneLayer, a leading provider of operational management and security solutions for private LTE and 5G, has recently announced an important integration with Palo Alto Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity. This new collaboration is designed to overcome the significant challenges companies often face when deploying cellular devices at scale. The integration combines OneLayer’s expertise in provisioning, activation, and management of SIM-based devices with Palo Alto Networks' advanced next-generation firewall (NGFW) technology, which is compatible with 5G networks.

Businesses frequently encounter obstacles when attempting to deploy SIM-based devices on a large scale, making this new integration particularly valuable. By integrating Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) with comprehensive security management, OneLayer is streamlining the onboarding process and enhancing network security. The unique approach provided by OneLayer offers a seamless deployment experience through Zero Touch Edge Onboarding. This process allows companies to efficiently activate their NGFW’s SIM profile before capturing device fingerprints, ensuring that only legitimate devices connect to the network.

Once a valid device is confirmed, the Palo Alto NGFW is registered with Panorama, the central management platform, enabling it to connect with Palo Alto’s Zero Touch Provisioning service. This allows for automatic configuration updates, ensuring that configurations are secure and branch settings are fully protected.

Leonid Burakovsky, Vice President of 5G Security Product Management at Palo Alto Networks, stated, “In collaboration with OneLayer, we are revolutionizing the adoption of private cellular networks by integrating an AI-powered Zero Trust security approach into device provisioning. This enables critical industries to achieve digital transformation.”

The integration of ZTP significantly simplifies the process, reducing manual steps that often lead to errors. As a result, companies can achieve faster deployments, minimize costs associated with device deployment, and experience quicker returns on their cellular network investments. Avishag Daniely, Vice President of Products at OneLayer, added, “With this integration, companies can manage their private cellular networks with the same rigor and efficiency as their IT networks. This solution fills security gaps, delivers operational excellence, and simplifies management.”

Palo Alto's NGFWs provide a prevention-focused architecture that simplifies security management, while OneLayer’s proprietary Bridge™ technology offers an effortless onboarding experience across network components. This allows for effective zero-trust management of both devices and networks.

The enhanced integration from OneLayer and Palo Alto Networks will be showcased at the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC). Attendees are encouraged to visit the booths of both companies to learn more about the advanced capabilities resulting from this collaboration.
