OneLayer Enhances Zero Touch Provisioning in Collaboration with Palo Alto Networks

OneLayer, a leading company known for its private LTE and 5G management solutions, has recently announced its latest integration with Palo Alto Networks, a recognized leader in cybersecurity. This partnership aims to streamline the deployment of large-scale SIM-based devices through an improved Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) system that enhances both installation efficiency and overall network security.

Deploying cellular devices at scale often presents challenges for many enterprises. To combat this, OneLayer and Palo Alto Networks have combined their technologies. OneLayer specializes in SIM provisioning, activation, and device management, ensuring that challenges like onboarding validation, device authentication, and authorization are seamlessly handled.

At the core of this integration is the ability to automate Zero Touch edge onboarding, significantly improving the setup experience for enterprises. The process begins with OneLayer provisioning and activating the SIM profile of Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation 5G firewall (NGFW). It then fingerprints the device to confirm its validity before registering it with Panorama, Palo Alto Networks’ centralized management platform. Following this, the device connects to the ZTP service. This allows for automatic configuration updates and a secure connection, resulting in a fully protected branch setup.

Leonid Burakovsky, VP of 5G Security Product Management at Palo Alto Networks, emphasized the transformative potential of this collaboration. "By integrating an AI-powered Zero Trust security approach with provisioning, we are accelerating private cellular network adoption, which is crucial for industries aiming for digital transformation," he stated.

The ZTP integration not only simplifies and secures the onboarding process but also reduces the amount of manual work necessary, allowing enterprises to achieve faster deployment timelines with reduced errors. This leads to a quicker return on investment for their cellular network initiatives while also driving down the overall rollout costs of devices.

Avishag Daniely, VP of Product at OneLayer, noted the importance of this integration in bridging the security gap. "Our collaboration ensures that enterprises can manage their private cellular networks with the same stringent efficiency as their core IT networks," he said, emphasizing the operational excellence and streamlined management the solution offers.

The proactive architecture of Palo Alto Networks NGFW facilitates efficient security management. Meanwhile, OneLayer Bridge™ simplifies the integration process amongst various network components, enabling robust Zero Trust management for both devices and networks.

This innovative integration is set to take center stage at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025. Attendees are encouraged to visit both the OneLayer and Palo Alto Networks booths to see these advanced capabilities in action.
