San Francisco, CA, February 24, 2025 – Ataya, a leader in Private 5G solutions, today announced new integrations with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), taking their collaboration to the next level. Building on a successful partnership launched in 2024, these updates significantly enhance security, visibility, and policy enforcement for mixed access technology networks, enabling enterprises to achieve true Zero Trust security.
Enhanced Capabilities for Zero Trust Security
In 2024, Ataya Harmony, Ataya’s flagship platform, integrated with Palo Alto Networks NGFW to allow security teams to deploy a unified security solution across 5G and traditional networks. This integration empowered organizations to implement Zero Trust security with visibility into applications, threats and device details. The new advancements now extend this capability further.
Simplified Integration with NGFW
Ataya now offers direct integration with Palo Alto Networks NGFW, simplifying the overall deployment for customers. This update broadens the solution’s scope to include customers with physical or virtual standalone NGFW implementations, enabling advanced security policy enforcement based on User Equipment (UE) identity, location, Data Network Name (DNN), network slices, and other contextual attributes.
Threat Reporting and Comprehensive Visibility
Another key enhancement is the integration of NGFW-generated threat reports into the Ataya Harmony dashboard. This functionality provides security teams with a unified view of 5G and network-wide threats, enhancing situational awareness and enabling quicker, more informed responses to security incidents.
Deployment in PATTA, Taiwan’s Leading Industrial Manufacturer
These enhanced solutions will be deployed at PATTA, a leading industrial manufacturer in Taiwan. The deployment underscores the practical applicability and value of this joint solution in mission-critical industrial environments.
