Cybersecurity: Orange Business and Palo Alto Networks offer managed SASE solution

The shift to location-independent working, software-defined networks and rapid adoption of cloud connectivity is enabling global enterprises to achieve new levels of productivity and efficiency. However, as they transform their distributed network infrastructure to meet the demands of hybrid working and cloud computing, the attack surface also increases and they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Now, the two vendors are looking to address this challenge by offering the Prisma^® SASE (Prisma Access + Prisma SD-WAN) from Palo Alto Networks with the connectivity and digital integration capabilities of Orange Business and the managed secure access service from Orange Cyberdefense. This is because the vendor-managed SASE solution provides a secure foundation for agile, cloud-based organizations, according to the statement.

Complete AI-supported SASE solution

Building on existing modern connectivity solutions, Orange Business orchestrates networks, cloud and cybersecurity components to connect customers' business strategy and infrastructure strategy. In doing so, the Evolution Platform is the foundation for a secure, flexible and virtualized ecosystem. Orange Cyberdefense's self-described unique threat intelligence backbone, complemented by state-of-the-art functionality and expertise including detection and response, aims to help organizations achieve better security outcomes. The fully AI-powered SASE solution combines network security, SD-WAN and autonomous digital user experience management (ADEM) into a single cloud service. This increases security and reduces complexity.

Network and security architecture rethought

One company that has already chosen this solution is Imerys, a leading global minerals mining company. Imerys wanted to accelerate its cloud transformation and use agile infrastructure to transform its IT infrastructure to support business growth. At the same time, it wanted to ensure the highest level of global security through the managed SASE solution from Orange and Palo Alto Networks. The company also wanted to save costs by reducing the number of its suppliers and facilitating its M&A activities. Imerys now relies on Orange's SASE solution, based on Orange Business and Orange Cyberdefense functionalities, to create a secure, global, cloud-enabled network and smoothly migrate its current infrastructure. For maximum protection, Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE now provides a zero-trust approach, regardless of whether an end user is inside or outside the corporate network.

More and more companies are relying on cloud solutions - including for cyber security

"Enterprises are adopting new cloud-based technologies to increase productivity, improve efficiency and offer new services. However, this is also increasing their digital attack surface," sums up Helmut Reisinger, CEO EMEA and LATAM, Palo Alto Networks. "The challenge to improve cyber resilience has never been greater. By combining our SASE solution with Orange's services and management capabilities, we are able to offer our customers industry-leading network and security solutions in a single platform. It is easy to deploy, scale and manage, and delivers best-in-class performance." And Aliette Mousnier-Lompre, CEO of Orange Business, adds, "As more enterprises move their operations to the cloud and adopt a digital-first approach, our customers need to adopt zero-trust security. They are asking for a solution that brings networking and security together in a flexible, simple and cost-effective way. Together with Palo Alto Networks and Orange Cyberdefense, we offer a fully converged and managed SASE offering that delivers for our global customers."
