Securing 5G networks is difficult because traditional perimeter-based firewalls often lack visibility into user identities, which is essential for enforcing Zero Trust policies. Unlike enterprise environments that rely on Active Directory for identity mapping, mobile networks present unique challenges in identifying the "who" behind each traffic flow. Palo Alto Networks addresses this by partnering with MantisNet to integrate their containerized visibility fabric with ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls. Their software helps organizations gain granular identity insights by bridging the gap between mobile signaling and security policies. Consequently, Palo Alto Networks helps mobile operators implement precise, identity-aware security across the N6 interface.
