The move signals growing convergence between cellular IoT connectivity platforms and enterprise SASE stacks. By treating wireless IoT endpoints as first-class citizens in Layer 7 policy and DPI/DLP workflows, operators and enterprises can collapse previously separate security operations and eliminate blind spots at scale. This also strengthens the role of IoT MVNOs as security distribution channels for major cybersecurity vendors. It reflects a broader industry shift toward network-embedded, agentless security for heterogeneous IoT fleets in 5G and AI-driven environments.
Aeris Integrates with Palo Alto Networks to Secure the Wireless IoT Blind Spot with Agentless, Global SASE
Aeris, a leader in wireless management platforms, security services and connected vehicle programs, today announced it has completed its product integration with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 5G and joined an extensive ecosystem of Palo Alto Networks Technology Partners to deliver intelligent and interoperable solutions that enable joint customers with turnkey integrations that help them more easily and confidently secure their digital transformation journey.
The integration combines Aeris IoT Watchtower
with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 5G to transform how enterprises protect wireless IoT deployments, providing a single point of control to extend security to the wireless IoT edge. The integration provides Layer 7 security features, including Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), across a global footprint. By validating interoperability between these platforms, Aeris and Palo Alto Networks allow businesses to reduce their attack surface and bring previously isolated wireless IoT devices into the enterprise security fabric.
Key Benefits for Enterprise Customers
This integrated architecture redefines the security perimeter by delivering zero-trust protection and automated oversight directly to the wireless IoT edge.
- Unified Security Visibility: Extend SASE security policies to the wireless edge through a single pane of glass.
- Proactive Threat Response: Enable extended protection via Aeris IoT Watchtower and Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE for real-time monitoring and zero-trust control across networks and the entire device lifecycle.
- Global Connectivity at Scale: Tap into Aeris’ ecosystem of nearly 30 Tier-one mobile network operator partners, delivering connectivity through one platform.
- Accelerated Deployment: Reduce friction in validating security interoperability, allowing for faster time-to-market for global IoT initiatives.
- Future-Proof Infrastructure: Leverage built-in support for 5G-enabled applications requiring high bandwidth and mission-critical responsiveness.
- Seamless Experience: Implement a consistent, unified security approach across IT systems and wireless devices.
“Aeris’ new integration with Palo Alto Networks marks a pivotal shift for global enterprises, moving away from the inefficiencies of managing security and wireless connectivity in isolation,” said Jon Connet, Chief Product Officer of Aeris.
“This partnership enables organizations to apply best-in-class security uniformly across both IT systems and wireless connected devices, while empowering Aeris’ ecosystem of nearly 30 strategic mobile network operator partners to leverage the global trust and proven track record of one of the world’s largest cybersecurity providers.”
“As the global threat landscape evolves, the wireless edge can no longer remain a siloed environment outside of the enterprise security fabric,” said Anupam Upadhyaya, SVP of Product Management, SASE at Palo Alto Networks. “By integrating Prisma SASE with Aeris, we aim to deliver a unified security architecture that eliminates visibility and security gaps for wireless devices. This enables protection to fuel innovation, allowing our mutual customers to embrace the benefits of AI and 5G with absolute confidence.”
Palo Alto Networks is the global AI and cybersecurity leader. The Palo Alto Networks Technology Partner Program delivers a comprehensive portfolio of integrated solutions that help businesses close security gaps, reduce latency, and improve the end-user experience.
